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.

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. Mmmmmm0 -

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
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.
