    OMG the first prospective lodger turned up drunk at 1 in the afternoon - I'm not even kidding! I'm happy for people to have a drink but when you are looking for new lodgings?!! Really???!!!!

    No she was sober thank goodness! I did mention to her that she didn't have much competition :)
    A week off work now... Need to think of some ways to have days out without spending much! Lots of dog walks me thinks!
    Would normally eat out every day over a holiday so need to be strong and not do that.... Somehow!

    Lol my OH wasn't too chuffed either (I think he liked it in the end!!)
    I am soooo bored with not spending now! I think I can only do it coz I can see an end in sight. I think having that set end goal and then knocking months off here and there has really helped. Spagetti again for tea tonight tho :( !!
