    Hope Terminal 5 is ok :eek:, and have a great holiday :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    OMG time goes so fast.......back home next thursday.

    Has been great to see OH again although we have had a bit of a rocky time. I think we're both a lot clearer in our minds about things now - have done a lot of frank talking, which was needed.

    Will be back into MFW mode from thursday then - a £15 sainsbury's voucher arrived the day I left so that's a week's food looked after. Will also be overpaying £120 as soon as poss, maybe a little more depending on le cochon. Will update sig then.

    Missed you all loads!

    see you soon,

    thanks ev, i did.

    it wasn't without it's stresses, but when you consider what we've been through the last few months i guess that was inevitable. anyway - we have applied for a visa so hopefully he can come and spend a bit of time here, which would be fantastic. not holding out much hope as visas can be hard to come by these days, but trying anyway.

    will update on op's later when I have worked out finances!

    Hi

    Going in to make August OP today - £120 to keep me on track for £2000 by the end of the year. May be a little more if I have eough in le cochon to bag any up.

    Seem to have lost the momentum a bit - will try hard to get back on track.:rolleyes:

    Any news of Ev?

    She was silent yesterday!

    Hi PO

    Well done, £120 isn't what I'd call losing momentum!! ;)

    I'm hoping to throw something more at it before the end of next week, but I don't think it'll be as much as that :o

    All does seem quiet on the Ev front, doesn't it? :rolleyes: :D
