  • So much lovely goings on. Really pleased to hear that little dude has now found adoption. That was such a lovely thing you did for him.

    Ooh the tiny house!!! Can you put photos up when you've done it? I'd love to see it.

    Great new mortgage figures too. Fantastic and all very exciting.

    Thanks Beckyy!

    ETE, the new car is so lovely, so smooth and it is clever, possibly cleverer than me!haha. We have done 250miles since we filled up the tank and it was about £40 and its still half full! Nice and efficient!

    Hey MFD, you are right, have post poned the session at the animal centre as quite tired from the long days, when I get into it I will re visit that one!haha.

    Thanks MT! The guy sends us pictures which is so lovely, feels like he is still part of the family! Will defo figure out how to do the photos once I am done, will be a long wait though I think for the tiny house to come together, going to order a skip next week to start getting rid of all the bits from the caravan!

    New job was tiring but I felt like a proper nurse again which was nice, feet were knackered after three long days!haha. Our deposit for the holiday place next year has been returned as it can no longer be rented, instead I asked my hubby if we could go to ye olde Parey (Paris) for my 30th instead, so excitingly we have booked four nights next year in Paris! Got a good location and the flight times are great for £502! This is £2 more than just renting the villa for a week in Greece, not including flights etc. Have said we will still look at a chill holiday as well probably later in the year, more time to save. Now we only need to save for spends, taxi transfer and fuel for the trip to the hotel which is nice! I am so excited!!

    Mortgage goes out tomorrow, so excting and first car payment as well!

    Any advice MFD, must sees etc?

    I am waiting for the lovely hubby to find the windows discs after wiping my computer so I can see all my mortgage comings and goings (its all saved on the hard drive ready to come over...) so I can do an accurate update, exciting!

    Have made crustless quiche today, fish chowder, bread and vegan lentil shepherds pie. Bit of batch cooking in prep for this week. Will do over night oats later and tomorrow am going to make a pasta bake I think for the long days! Not a fan of cooking at all, but feels like an achievement!

    Having phone problems still which is winding me up!

    Every time I come in to catch up on your diary there's more lovely things to read about.

    Good to hear you're enjoying your new job too.

  • It's a few years since we last went... one wedding anniversary we sat in the gardens opposite the Eiffel Tower and with a shop bought picnic of fresh baguette, cheeses and champers...

    We tend to walk everywhere. Last time we stayed near the Louvre closer to the Gare du Nord station. Cheaper and easy to walk to central tourist attractions. seen as i'm always moaning about being fatter than I'd like .. the walks offset the food/drink

    Thanks MT!

    MFD that sounds like such a lovely way to spend your anniversary! I have been reading this websites advice on cheap ways to do Paris and have made lists of what we feel are must do's, such as the catacombs and eiffel tower!

    Have done a 1st October belated round up, still cant access the windows stuff but have used the stats from here!
    Current Balance: £169,365.71
    LTV: 86.85%
    Overall Interest: £430.58
    Daily Interest: £14.35
    OP: £377
    Total Capital Reduction: £632.29

    Based on this, our daily interest dropped by 4p and we are under 87% LTV! Woohoo what a fabulous mini achievement! Next month will see us drop into the 168's!

    Felt like I was walking miles when on shift in the new place, so bought an activity tracker. Turns out I am! Walked over 10,000 steps each night shift, no wonder my feet are so sore today! Its almost my besties birthday and we are off to the spa where I will be having a foot rub as my feet deserve it! So tired from these nights, wondering why I said nights, wish I was on days at the moment!

    Nearly up to £20 on onepoll, slow but steady!
