Result on the dress Brizzle :T

I love reading your diary and the way you are all pulling together to the same goal

And as you say - taking pleasure in the progress is a good thing too

Thanks DDFW it doesn't feel quite as momentous as before but quiet and steady is a good place to be.

I am also thrilled to report that I have over 50% (51% in fact!) of my O&S pot saved which is handy as I had to pay for the most expensive hotel room ever for all of us for BIL' s wedding. :eek: Enjoying seeing some of the pots creep up

Lost a van hire this week though so swings and roundabouts.. Having said that for the first time we are planning to spend from savings pots, not just put on the cards so much healthier.

Must get a shimmy on with posting on Bay of E I guess

How true this is - it makes such a difference knowing the money is saved ready and waiting :T

I think this was the moment we knew we were heading in the right direction, no credit card debt and no overdraft :j

Everything is sounding great Brizzle :T good news about a new lodger too!

Thanks guys. Photos taken for about 20 items to sell. Goal is to make enough to buy OH's wedding outfit. We have agreed not to stop ebaying until we have made enough for that (or more!)

Had a great dinner today..trout from the farm we visited on Saturday. Lovely baked in foil with dill and preserved lemons, with peas, couscous ( with prunes and seaweed for flavour and cos I am in 'use up' mode!:rotfl:) and cauliflower cheese (.ditto!:))

Just had an amazing massage. Feel like I am being healed..:) Do you remember I promised myself some more regular massages when we were DF? Well I got around to it. She was fab and bless her, £25 for an hour..I was very touched by her generosity and kindness.

On the road again tomorrow..hope everyone has a good day.

Morning Brizzle, I missed your post about the new lodger. Well done and it is a fab way to bring in extra cash

Your dinner sounded mmmmmm - you can't beat project 'use ups' - my fridge is still full but definitely room in the door now.

Massage sounds fantastic - have a good day.

Thanks Tilly..project use ups is underway..but expect that we will probably treat ourselves from some local foodie stores when we go away for the long weekend..

All good on MSE front. Busy day today but will hope to list some items this eve. £500 transferred into the mortgage OP pot (not listed in the sig but may one day do a nice update)

Laters folks- have a great day

Enjoying the new van on a family break. Bliss

Done the usual TTs..the new banking app is Amazing:) I can make transfers so easily..sad to think how thrilled I was yesterday when I realised I not only could view my accounts but do transfers etc too

Freedom camping so a free night and a great view. I do love the Principality

Have a great weekend all x
