  • I love Rome, we went last year. I took DH for his 40th birthday.

    Well the budget for my niece is very changeable depending on if I can save this, she loves Harry Potter (like me) so I would love to take her to London to see The Cursed Child. Sounds like a lot but it would be the full cost for both of us to go for a couple of nights.

    The house deposit is the dream amount, I probably not going to be able to save that amount but aim high right! The house will be in my own name so a single mortgage application which is why we want as much savings behind us as possible before we look.

  • Going to make a plan to cook something delicious, healthy & from scratch every Saturday night for me & that fine man of mine.

    This week is fillet steak, wedges, mushroom & peppercorn sauce.

    Gonna search WW recipes each week & find something yummy to prepare for us, this should help with my weightloss as we usually have a takeaway or something really fattening on a Saturday!

    Got my shopping list at the ready.

  • This week is fillet steak, wedges, mushroom & peppercorn sauce.

    That sounds brilliant! And much healthier than a takeaway. It will still feel like a treat too, which is the main thing. I can't remember the last time I had fillet steak. Mmmmmm
  • I like the sound of your dinner too.
    I think you are not just the queen of christmas but the holiday queen too! Those plans sound amazing. xxxx
    2017- 5 credit cards plus loan

    We're off to see the Cursed Child too in May. My OH booked it in October 2015! Now it's nearly here. I love Harry Potter
  • MMT - It was fab, did munch on pringles & mrs kimbles macaroons x2 after it but still much healthier then normal & very well for my first weekend back on plan!

    PSL - Aw haha I love these titles!

    Verbatim - It's not until 2019. Me & the DH seen it in June 2016 & I just know she would love this as a gift. I'm keeping an eye out on the emails everytime they come out on sale so that I can try & get them. If not will think of something else.

    louby40 - You are gonna love it!!!! Honestly it was the best thing I have seen on stage, the special effects were brilliant!!

  • Hey lovely people,

    Had such a lovely wee Sunday at home, heating on bubble bath, reading my book, filling in my journal & just watching some Sunday telly.

    What have I been up to the rest of the weekend....... well Friday I picked my Mum up from work & she showed me the mobile we bought her for Christmas. It has a massive crack on the screen :( Off we go to CPW to get her another phone, we bought the handset & she got the insurance so that if she breaks it again she can just pay £10 for a new one.

    Managed to pick up some bargains when we were in there too. I bought;-

    pixel robot £6 down to £1.60
    pixel racing car £6 down to £1.60
    leopard print backpack £35 down to £10.50
    leopard print backpack £35 down to £10.50

    The wee pixel things I will keep a hold of to put in DH's Christmas stocking, 1 of the backpacks I will give to my niece for part of her birthday in March & the other I will use for work :p

    Also managed to switch some of my CC balance over to another which had a 0% offer so that should save me a bit in the long run.

    I'm off to watch some Mr Robot, started watching it last night so we will see if it's any good.

    Dxxx
