    Haha thanks everyone! :D I am very excited - DH keeps telling me not to get my hopes up and to try and stay calm but it's soooo hard :o

    I've been into town today to get a couple of bits and pieces. I've been comparing our spending to the same time last year, and it's higher this year. I keep spending bits here and there that I don't really need to, and although it's never very much each time, it adds up quickly. After holiday (we go on Monday) I need to reign this in and look at why it's happening.

    Can't wait til Monday :j we're off for two weeks in the sun :D this will be our last holiday abroad for a long time probably, so I'm really really going to make the most of it :) we're taking £300 with us and I really really hope we stay on that budget - we're in self catered and have our own grounds with a bbq, and both me and DH are quite happy to have that for some of the time :) we do want to eat our and taste the local food, but it's not necessary to eat our every night. Eee! :D
