    Hey Cathy!

    Have you fallen out of love with saving money?

    Or is real life keeping you busy?

    Hi Cathy,

    Not sure if you read any more, but was just thinking about your diary and thought I'd check in.

    Hope you're OK and still saving money.

    hi JoJoC - and Eco Miser! I completely missed the fact that you had posted ages ago. Aw bless!! Thanks for thinking of me :) I suppose I felt that the diary had come to a point where there wasn't much more to add and real life did indeed get in the way for a while, but I have kept saving and have joined this year's Save £12,000 In 2015 challenge. Things are going pretty well so far. I hope you are both thriving and that life is treating you well? ...

    Glad to see you back Cathy.

    Any holidays coming up? I am going to the Big Smoke for a few days later this month, to visit the embassy for new PPs for my twins, and then eating and drinking and shopping for my anniversay (trying to use the plane tickets and hotels for 2 things lol)

    hi atush! I just had two weeks in Australia, as it happens - got back earlier this week. It was sunny and summery, bit of a shock to the system to come back to the freezing cold UK. Eating and drinking and shopping sounds good, though unlike you? ...
