    Good morning.

    2018 is a special year for my OH and me too. We are getting married that year in April. Honeymoon isn't until 2019 (but is actually more planned than the wedding is).
    :o

    Last I heard NSK wasn't feeling very well but since then her blog has stopped so I am not sure what is going on. Hopefully, she is still travelling, has made it to Australia and is having a great time.
    :)

    I used to think I would love cruises but then the idea of 2000 people sharing the same space as me is a bit of a nerve-jangling idea. Also, your time at each place is so limited. As a result, I have kinda gone off cruises.
    I definitely think it would stop your OH getting bored though so maybe there are benefits.
    :undecided

    Have you just been diagnosed as diet controlled diabetes Helen?? Cause you can still have very rare treats (such as a bubblegum milkshake). You could class it as your moving in treat.
    Which makes it sound like you can only have another one when/if you next move house.
    :rotfl:

    No financey stuff for me. All my spare money really is tied up in paying off the last of my credit card so I definitely can't start until January. Might see if I can manage to find a fiver or something but not really hopeful.
    :(

    Hugs to everyone.
    Mortgage: £0/£80,329.91
    Savings: £0/£6400
    :love:

    Morning Campers (hi-de-di!! :D).....


    Stewby....I'm a Type 2 Diabetic, not on Insulin but I AM on Tablets.....I may have a Bubblegum Milkshake at some point in the next few Weeks but we'll see how it goes :)


    Ooooooh getting married in 2018?? It certainly IS a special Year!! :) Sounds wonderful....Where are you going for your Honeymoon??


    I'm up early because I woke up and my throat was burning....so whether I swallowed a spider or something I have no idea....It's getting better now... :)


    Nothing moneywise to Report today.....I should be able to put in the first bit of money next Thursday....xXx :)
  • I almost feel as though my parents made a mistake having me in 1977 :rotfl: Although it has to be said that I'm not looking forward to the big birthday so I will just join in the celebrations with you lot a year later.
    Bank balance is looking dire this morning - I'm pleased that payday is almost in sight.
  • Hey crazy_cat_lady .... Noooooooo, celebrate being born in 1977...This means you are a year older and a year wiser than us ;)


    I think I might be able to put my first Fiver into my Pot later today....Not sure, just have to work out my Finances :D I will declare it later....

    Hi


    I would love to join you all on this challenge. I still have debt which will hopefully be gone by July 2016. OH is being made redundant in May 2016 and I need to focus and build up an emergency fund just in case. My car has over 140k miles on it and I will probably need to change it in the near future but again hoping it will last another year or 2.

    I would like to aim for £6000 but it could be a slow journey.

    Sorry to hear about your OH redundancy

I have added your Number to the List on Post One!! :)
