Thanks Maryland Cookie!

I was really annoyed yesterday, and then today when I still seemed angry at the world (I nearly fly kicked the guys beside me for eating a banana too loud) I realised it is time for some Kalms tablets. You may think I am joking but I am deadly serious (not about the fly kicking about the Kalms).

So a few Kalms and I'm chilled guys! I hope to GOD they sell Kalms in New Zealand!!! Clearly I am not as laid back about this move to the other side of the world as I thought I was... :rotfl:

Boo to the handbag being marked but pretty good customer service in the end.

I hope with all your clearing out that you're selling what you can or even bagging it up to take to a cash4clothes place as every little bit will help you out. If you don't fancy ebay what about a facebook selling page or gumtree as an alternative?

Oh yeah and pretty sure that you can get Kalms down under or something similar, I remember picking up a calming spray at one point that worked.

Wanted to clarify that the promise you read was to NOT ever run naked btw very important distinction!
Hope you're feeling better and I look forward to 'getting to know you' more x

Hi DFW world!

Where have I been? Well I am currently sitting in California in a coffee shop with a cup of tea and a chocolate croissant. Heaven.

I've kind of been in a bubble as Mr Mars and I have not worked since the beginning of August. We been travelling across America and forgotten what the real world feels like. :eek:

Tomorrow we leave for New Zealand and things start to get serious. Hence why I have returned tail between legs and all...

Whilst living in our bubble we have been burning through money like there is no tomorrow. Unfortunately there is a tomorrow and it is in New Zealand and we need a home, car, bike for that tomorrow. :eek:

I think the unknown is getting to me slightly - its is hard to watch the pennies when you do not have a house, car, bike, job or anything to provide focus. But now that we are nearly there I feel the focus creeping back.

After the painful event of trying to empty an entire house of CRAP (I am fearful that some of it has still been packed up and on its way to NZ) I have tried to buy very little on my travels - which has been a HUGE step considering I have travelled a lot and used to always buy something as a memory. This time my photographs as my memories - I have a vision of a photograph collaged wall when we own our own home ONE DAY. :rotfl:

So I'll be back on it whilst I find my feet in NZ! There is no MSE :money:websites so I am going to need to find out the best bank accounts etc the old fashioned way - ARGGGG!!!

Speak to you all on the other side (of the world that is).

Hey hey campers!!!

Thanks for stopping in! Just heading out for my usual tea and chocolate croissant for Mr Mars and I :beer:

But before I do that - I'm going to do the happy dance :rotfl:

Today into my bank account was a shiney new £307!!!

£222 refund from Council Tax and £85 refund from Gas & Electricity :money:

Had to chase BOTH for the money but got there in the end awooohooooooooo! :T

Feel so much better having another thing off my list! :j
