I have a dream...to be a MFW

Paris? Oh my goodness, I'm ridiculously jealous........

If you're a disgrace, then I must be too - I've been on a few 5 night long haul business trips with just a carry on suitcase!! When I first started travelling with work I used to take a huge case with me even if I was just going for 2 nights, it's amazing how you learn to pack lighter over the years.

Although, I do sometimes still need to take a big case with me with I go to the States so that I can go shopping!!

My case is always lighter then my BF's as to lazy to lug anything heavy around, I went to Munich for 5 days and my case only weighed 5kg

Have a good trip

Arrived safely in Paris and the hotel have let us check in nearly 5 hours early so we have unpacked and are having a quick sit down before we begin hours of walking about, on free WiFi at the hotel. Mr AJM downloaded a trip advisor app for his kindle fire and it got us to the hotel straight away. Lovely little hotel especially as we didn't pay too much although there is a dog in a room nearby that keeps barking. Confused about breakfast, I didn't think we had booked it and we were going to decide whether to eat in or out but they have just mentioned it so it is possible they offer a free buffet, I hope so!

See you all later x

Loads of walking done today. We had a lovely lunch but a bit pricey so will look at different options over the next couple of days. We were so tired that we came back to sleep for a couple of hours and luckily the dog had gone. Need to go out for dinner soon but having a local relaxing evening and an early night.

24 hours left in Paris, we have walked about and looked at a lot but are both quite tired so haven't done too much.

Currently working through a 10 year plan in my head, most of it is work based but I am planning some money goals too.

Came back from Paris yesterday and left the house 12 hours later to go on a work trip, now halfway down the country. I am trying to ration myself money wise while I am away and want to keep as near to £12 a day as possible. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but I need to pay for 3 meals a day! Luckily breakfast is heavily subsidised and there is a cheap pub and a bakery near where I am working.

Spending is going well. Spent just under £17 on Saturday but I can claim that back next week so I don't mind going over. Just under £12 yesterday and I should easily do it tomorrow. Today could be the tough one as we are having a meal out for a friend's birthday but I am hoping any overspend can be absorbed by tomorrow's underspend.

Missing Mr AJM but he will be down on Wednesday so looking forward to that

Today's spend has come in just under £9 so a lot less than I had planned. I seem to be taking money out of the bank every day but I shouldn't need such large amounts of cash now so I am hoping it will last me a while.
