£50,000 in 3 years diary. Can I do it???

RoxieW

thanks rb - 2 and a half year of lessons (pretty much every week :eek:), 4 tests and a lot of stress and money to boot. You could say I'm not one of 'lifes natural drivers'. I just found it really difficult as I'm a nervous person anyway but also have very poor 'spacial awareness' and find it hard to judge speeds and distances. apparently, left handed people often have this problem - its the price we pay for being creative!! passing was definitely my big big wish for this year (and last! and the one before that!)

its great that about £120 will be freed up each month. All spare January and February cash will be earmarked for Prague but then after that its definately more to put in the pot.

Am hugely excited for prague now as everythings sorted - hotel, flights, babysitter, time off, restaurants booked etc. I've had to be very sneaky doing everything while dales out and not leaving any evidence lying around. just abit bummed that i'll obviously be uncomfortable due to stitches and worrying about the results.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Well done Roxie, so pleased for you. Wish you lots of luck for results too, it will all be fine. xx

RoxieW

thanks sorting it.

well, the boys loved bowling. we had a really great time. especially todd and its nice to see him enjoy something as he usually gets frustrated being the little one and gets quite grumpy.

Hi,

I just wanted to say many congratulations on passing your test you really deserved it after all the effort that you have put in. :j

RoxieW

thanks ciara!

planning on a low spend day today - starting up again with the vibrogym/power plates thingy that will cost me £1.50 and also going swimming but i have a voucher to get that for free. want to lose a bit of weight so i can fit in my fave pencil skirt for prague!

RoxieW

hey guys - you wont believe it but what was going to be a lsd actually turned into a no spend day. i gave the vibrogym a miss and did my davina dvd instead - damn i hurt all over!
also had to visit dr's (yet again!) to speak to them about having baby no 3. they're concerned as I had postnatal depression previously and developed OCD with it. i was told that they'd like to refer me to yet another dr to be 'monitored' which i really dont want to do. i dont want someone poking and prodding into how i'm 'feeling' every five minutes. ive been through it twice before and can recognise the symptoms should they arise so why should i be monitored? makes me feel like some kind of criminal. i'm going to tell them i'm not having it, anyway. i just want to enjoy my pregnancy and not be slepping across town every five minutes to be asked the same questions over and over. :mad::mad::mad:

RoxieW

Evening all - good day today. No spend day and I hit about the half way mark with my script re-draft - yey!
Dale wanted to go out saturday but i've persuaded him otherwise. he doens't know whats going on as i keep turning him down! just want to save all our spare pennies for prague and have a lovely time - cant wait eeeeek!

RoxieW

Phew - totally in the zone today. Been working like a MF and finished my re-draft. Just emailed it off to the channel now - feel slightly sick....

RoxieW

at the risk of tempting fate i just did my davina workout dvd and feel sooo damn happy i could burst! (must be the endorphines!). i passed my test woohooo, have got a lovely break to look forward to with hub, worked out twice this week!! and just finished my script. yey! may even treat myself to a magazine

RoxieW

not thatt much to report - spent 65p on a mag to treat myself. cant believe i've lost half a stone in a week - must be the stress lol!
costing up for Prague - I have £200 in Quidco I can put towards it -plus Jan/Feb birthdays money, plus Jan Feb eating out money so thats £600 there. So we may still be able to save some money in Jan and Feb
