Pamber day was really nice total bliss and my body feels so nices still. My skin is soft and not dry like it normally is. The massage was good too. It actually only cost £131 I must have got the price wrong and it included a fantastic Sunday Roast Dinner.
Speaking of Sunday Lunch just booked myself in for a Mystery Shop in a couple of weeks for Sunday Lunch, £15 to spend and £5 fee. You have to buy two drinks and two meals so that should hopefully cover it.
Not a lot else to report really struggled to get appointments this week but guess it is half term.Save £12k in 25 No 49

More spending planned need to fit in a trip to Denmark to see the family. My mum has offered to pay if I go over before Christmas and I can go by airmiles for 4 days for £60.
However if DH and I went between Christmas and New Year we could go for 1 week for £138 incl 1 night in Copenhagen. I have a voucher for 1500 airmiles you can only use if you book 1 night in a hotel so that would be good to use that.
Just found out brother in law is here from the 20th to the 5th Jan so feel a bit bad about us going away but I do want to see my family too.
Not booked my flights to Scotland as DH is refusing to pick me up from the airport at 9.30pm he thinks work should pay £34 for me to park there. At least he is taking me and collecting me when I go to Spain. Cannot believe it is only 3 days till go. Can't wait.
Off for a little trip up the A3 and around the M25 better get a move on. Is a lunch thing so at least I will have a nice meal. Meeting is right across from a fab shopping centre but I am not going to spend anything.
Still no wine/beer this week feeling goodSave £12k in 25 No 49

How sad am I just tried to pay 71p off my mortage to get it back to an even number and the min you can pay is £1. Think I shall leave it then.
Still not had my pin number for my new savings account from Citi but should be ready to load it up if my wages go in tomorrow. Not got an euros for Spain but assum I can find a cash point and use my trusted Nationwide card. Cannot wait to go now sad that DH cannot come but hey that doesn't mean I have to loose out.
Still keen to book something for Denmark with DH but his brother is here such a long time and I really don't know what to do. Normally he stays with his parents and see us for a few hours each night. DH wants to invite him to Denmark but I am not sure about that. Defo don't want him there the whole week. Need to think about this but tickets also need to be booked or they will be gone.
Had two glasses of wine last night a bit annoyed with myself but I am not sure I can keep it up in Spain so kind of gave up. Trying to get a load of washing done but it is not drying outside and only have a small airer.
Other than that need to do a load of work sadly before my break.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Having a super time in Spain it is so hot I had to go and buy some shorts and two tops. Must be about 24 degree midday so all my rollsnecks are just too hot.
Chilled out all day today just about to sort dinner out. My uncle has all the English channels on the telly but I might just read my book. Might go for a walk down to the bottom of the mountain tomorrow.
Hope you are all well.

Still enjoying myself in the sunshine really nice to spend sometime with my uncle and we have been out with some of his friends all Danes. Went to a restaurant where they ordered in Spanish. I clocked straight away the owners were English so they were quite pleased to speak English. Food was lovely Prawns in batter (about 12 of them) for starters and a huge fillet steak with stilton sauce plus wine €20. Bargain
Uncle just gone to the doctors so I am chilling out on my own. Quite windy now but at least 25 degree. Shame I have to come back tomorrow. Wine challenge totally out of the window by the way.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Sorry I have not updated time just flies past. Had a nice weekend. Dinner with neighbour Saturday and Mystery Shop Sunday with same neighbour. Forgot to check the range of ales pub had on but otherwise did everything else I hope. Had £15 to spend plus £5 fee but parking was £2.70 so at least it was a free meal out even if the pub was noisy with the football on.
Got some fabric to make my own Christmas table cloth quite looking forward to getting back into sewing. Only £15 so quite happy with that.
Got a new Nintendo DSi that my mum wanted (she is paying) and I can use it in the meantime. It is cool can browse the Internet on it which is handy. Resisted the urge to buy one for myself.
Booked flights to go to Denmark for New Year. So happy we can fit a weekend Monday to Monday with 1 night in Copenhagen. I did not have enough Airmiles to pay for two flights but I had a voucher for 1500 airmiles (1 free flight) if I booked a night in a hotel. So for £196 we have a night in a 4 star plus flights with BA all in. Quite a good price as all the other companies wanted over £400 without the hotel obviously.
Going to Glasgow today with work. Got heaps to do before so better get on with it. Will be back Wednesday late.
Take care hope you all had a nice weekend.Save £12k in 25 No 49

Back from Scotland realy really good trip. Had a nice night out in Glasgow with manager and colleague. Conference went well and then off to Dundee. As we were driving up there I asked Helen is this as near to St Andrews as we are going to get (I am as you know a massive Golf fan). She said no we can get a bit nearer and took the turning for St Andrews. Turned out as a surprise she had booked us in for dinner at the Old Course Hotel St Andrews. It was dark when we got there sadly but we did go and have a drink in the Road Hole Bar at the big hotel. Very plush £9 for a glass of wine.
Found the hotel had a superb dinner and I ran onto the course and found the 18th green and the 1st tee. So cool I want to go back in the day light. Also so nice of Helen to arrange a treat like that for me.
Also went to Dundee which was great. Got to see the Discovery Scots ship which was interesting as I have seen Fram in Oslo.
Flew back from Glasgow at 20.10 (got there 4 hours early but it was £150 to change flights). Neighbor picked me up and I was home at 22.00. Not too bad just a bit tired today and have a sore throat. Had way too much wine already this week.Save £12k in 25 No 49
