    I think you deserve to have lots of nice things planned bw. Hope life slows down for you soon.

    Very nice. :) Our LTV figure is similar but loan value/daily interest are much higher for us!

    Mine started out at over £13 a day :eek: so really satisfying to see how much it's come down and keep coming down


    Ooh, where to? Need to live vicariously. ;)

    Parma, Italy.... loved Italy so much last year, couldn't wait to get back and see some more

    Thanks Cath. I feel a bit of a fraud compared to you as I don't have kids to add into the mix - don't know how you do it!

    Good Morning :)

    Went to an open air production of 'As You Like It' last night. It was great fun and I really enjoyed it. My friend had put together a picnic based on afternoon tea (which was scrummy!) that we scoffed whilst watching the play. Brilliant way to destress after the working week

    No major plans for the rest of the weekend. I have a zillion house jobs to do so will mainly pottering around at home. A few garden jobs to do as well but it rained overnight here so will postpone those until tomorrow.

    Other tasks I need to do:

    - buy travel money
    - collect parcel from sorting office
    - finish book and write review


    I also want to catch up on MFW diairies as not had much chance this week

    Ooooh I love weekends :D

    Sounds like a lovely evening bookworm.

    Re: having children, I was so unproductive before we had children. Had 2 jobs but wasted a lot of time, you definitely don't do that!

    Indeed - we got out of the double digits with our refinance and should be on track to drop about £2/day over the course of a year.

    Very nice...we've been to Italy 3 times so far and have loved every time. Definitely my favourite holiday destination that we've been to thus far.

    Good evening... can't believe where this week has gone... time is absolutely flying....

    Work is a pita - feeling really fed up with it at the moment :( On slightly brighter news, only 10 more working days to have to survive :cool:

    Money news - my mystery shopping cheque cleared yesterday so have OP'd that and today my £40 OneP payment arrived too :T .. so that has also been sent as an OP

    Hope everyone else is doing ok

    Well done on the OPs! :)

    19 working days for us until our holiday. I try and motivate myself by week - this one is bank interest/cashback, next week is payday, week after that is bank holiday, week after that we finally get non-crap internet, and the last week we go on holiday! I'm sure that's all a bit sad but it makes the time seem quicker. :o
