Hello Thistle, how's it all going?
Has the wet weather reached you or are you avoiding it?
How's the budget going and how was the taster session?

Morning all,
Quick update after a fortnight of busy busy busy....
Money saving is going well. April and May were good months for me and I'm hoping June will be too. I'm working very hard though so not much time for anything else.
OH got his money back from the gas / electric people - £2,600+
So we've booked a fortnight in Cyprus leaving on July 5th. We're going with a couple of friends and staying in a private villa with its own pool etc. it's going to be fantastic and I'm so excited. Really need the break as I worked out that the last time I took a full fortnight off work was in 2004!!!
Spending time getting ready for holidays with serious pampering and treatments. Loving the way it makes me feel - confident and happy.
Life is good at the moment.

It will fly by for you

Apart from 4 days at end of August I have no more holidays :eek:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0
