    Nut Jobs, the lot of you:rolleyes:

    I really hope the weather is nice for you Snaggles:D

    Has the Debt Freeness sunk in properly yet? I know it took about 2 months for me to accept that I didnt owe anything to anyone apart from the mortgage and the money we used to send in payments just sort of sat there for a while each month as though we didnt know what to do with it:rotfl:

    It now goes to the mortgage overpayment pot of course:A
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I bet you are all dead excited about the holiday! I hope the weather holds out for you, but even if it doesn't, you will have a fab time!

    :D

    Oh, and could you send Natasha to teach my two a thing or two about putting stuff away when you have finished.........
    Thank you :)

    Well, the weather is a bit rubbish here at the moment, but the kids have wellies and raincoats, and they both seem to enjoy getting soaked and jumping in muddy puddles, so hopefully it will still be fun. Although I haven't given up all hope of coming back with a tan yet! :o

    Natasha is currently rummaging through her changing box, throwing nappies and all sorts of other things across the living room floor - still want her?? :rotfl:

    Have a great holiday Snaggs, fingers crossed for the weather.

    We were hoping to go camping on Thursday for the first time in about 6 years, but I think the practicalities of it all are beating us unfortunately :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi Louise :wave:

    I think it's slowly sinking in - it's a much nicer experience logging on to our internet banking now, although I did have a slight panic this morning when I saw that our shopping account was overdrawn by £20. :eek:

    I've managed to pinch a bit from the bills account to cover it, and it's payday tomorrow, but it was a timely reminder that I mustn't relax too much and lose track of things I think. :o

    Looking forward to getting properly into the swing of MFW once I know how much mortgage we will end up with....eeek, scary prospect! :eek:

  • Snags,
    Our holiday was very VERY wet and I didn't bring enough warm clothes with us-it cost me £6.50 to do 1 load of washing! :eek:

    I guess you can always do a load when one of you pops back home cant you though...

    Wowee... the debt freeness and the holiday all in one go is really something, isn't it... lol at what Natasha's doing with her changing box too!

    I bet you have a lovely, lovely time away, just the fact of camping will be really exciting for the kids, and as long as you don't *break* the extension again, it'll be fab for you too!
