Taking £37k cars out and DS having his own :eek:

I thought the Mustang seemed very good value for money, Ali. My wife is having a Jaguar XE as her company car which costs around the same amount of money for 180bhp. Pity she's not allowed the Mustang.

A belated Happy Birthday Ali. Good choice on the tumble drier, the offer seems too good to refuse. Snap - i spent last night with my colouring book and pencils too.

Thanks MG. Still haven't ordered the replacement TD though

Had pretty much decided on £1,000 capital payment for April when the architect emails me...tech drawings should be ready to submit to Building Regs next week which means 1) architect bill, 2) fee for BR and 3) engineer bill are all on their way. Will have to revise.

Did you manage to resist the luxury eggs in @1di tonight ? I have my eye on one in particular:D kinda hoping they'll be sold out by the time I shop.

Hi Ali,
I have been lurking for a while but am trying to be more actively involved on threads. I'm considering starting a diary in a while, but will see! We are currently saving a deposit for our first house but a large enough one that we can have a good loan to value to start with and get straight on with overpaying. I just wanted to say that I have followed your diary and find you an inspiration. You are so organised and meticulous and seem to have really clear goals set out for yourself. Thank you :-)

Sounds like an excellent trip over the Easter holiday planned.

Ali-OK

Thanks Anavand for your kind words and welcome to the boards :wave: Having a diary helps to keep focus and motivated I find - well worth starting one. You're making the best start possible as well - good luck with the deposit saving - have you got a target or timescale in mind?

Alex - I told DS when he got home from school 'Awesome' he replied and 'must Skype xxxx from school to tell him'. It's gone down well and he's been playing the soundtrack at full volume all evening!

Another P!necone survey done and £3 to the cause
