    Just catching up here. A wedding in Oz sounds like a chance for a really exciting trip for all the family. We went in 03 when ours were 13, 15, 17 and 18. We saw a lot and once there lived frugally. Great memories to be made for your lovely family.

    Happy belated wedding anniversary.

    Happy belated anniversary! It was ours the other day too, we didn't do anything as both hadn't managed to get organised in advance so decided not to bother. We went to the seaside instead :)

    Loving the sound of the decluttered study!

    Sitting in glorious sunshine in the beautiful county of Pembrokeshire.. Life is lush and I just thought I'd pop by to say alls well here and hope it is with you folks too.

    On the MSE front I have done a money shuffle and will do a PC survey today. We are also wild camping and doing free activities like cycling and kayaking so that's nice and cheap and apart from copious amounts of tea and cakes it's a surprisingly frugal few days. We will go out to dinner at a lovely looking gastro pub tomorrow but basically that's it. Then off to Spain.

    So back to reading a stack of free magazines I got from a lovely neighbour last week. Mindless reading in the sun.. Deep joy.

    Thanks guys. Look forward to the oil Tilly :D

    Now in the glorious sun of Spain and have completely lucked out on the rental. It's gorgeous and very reasonable - probably because it's the first season on rental. But v happy with our last minute luck and sharing with great friends so everyone happy.

    And.. Amazingly! A NSD. First one in weeks!! Yay! Small victories.... And also two TTs to the savings account :) Just neatening things up y'know

    Hope everyone well and the heatwave does materialise for all :)

    We're in Spain as well - but back home tomorrow. However I believe we're heading for a heatwave at home. Just as well as we've had temps of over 30 for the last two weeks. Enjoy your hols.
  • Spain sounds wonderful - enjoy Xx
