    A numbers update:
    - We've overpaid £4,153.51 in 2013 so far, on top of our normal monthly mortgage payments.
    - I've had 118 NSDs so far.
    - I've lost 9lbs so far.

    Not bad :D

    I'm off on holiday later today :j :j it's going to be a long day traveling - my train is at 12:48 and then I don't arrive in Cyprus til 00:55 in the morning :eek: so I think I'm going to be tired. I'm hoping to have a snooze on the plane, but you never know who else is going to be on there!

    I'm also hoping to have a NSD - I'm going to take lots of goodies in my bag, but I'm not sure I'll be able to resist a cuppa later on in the day - we shall see.

    So, back in a week!

    Thanks :D

    I've made a pea and bacon spanish tortilla this morning - it's just cooling on the side - so I'm going to take a slice of that with me later to munch on :) leaving the rest for DH when he gets in for his tea - aren't I a nice wife? :D

    I keep going over everything - I don't want to forget something! :eek: what things can't I go without? :o

    Had a lovely time, it went really quickly as holidays always do! I kept within my budget and didn't buy anything :) I only gained a lb during the holidays, which is pretty good going for me! Now it's operation bridesmaid for the next 9 days - argh!
