Pay off mortgage and start having fun!

Bleugh, heavy night!

I collected dh and friends (from work) from the beer festival yesterday and we came back for a BBQ at ours, which moved indoors and continued until 2 am, one stayed over and one tried to walk home (it's a 20min drive :eek:) but dh booked him an uber against his wishes :rotfl: a great evening though.

Ds2 has now finished college :eek: he is doing his cv today and has heard of a job in an insurance company as security on the front desk via a friend. apparently he will spend the next year working and building a portfolio and may consider evening classes as well (im tiptoeing round the "u" word still!) I think he will consider going next year.

Ds1 has one exam left tomorrow and then it's all guns blazing on him

Dh and Dd have just left for Heathrow to collect her boyfriend from his week at San Francisco for work - not much work, judging by all the photos of him eating I've seen I was going to spend the day ironing but the iron has just died and dh has borrowed my car as we still don't have a van, what a pity I was really looking forward to that :rotfl:

No mortgages news to report, I may do a Tilly tidy today, just to remind myself I'm supposed to be clearing the mortgage

Hairdressers today for the first cut and colour since Xmas (ive been growing it) £111 plus tip, its a lot but is actually cheaper than I thought it would be. I feel so much better though, even best friend told dh how lucky he was to have a wife with such stunning hair! Think he would rather a wife with not very stunning hair and £111 in the bank instead :rotfl::rotfl:

To balance out the frivolity I've borrowed a dress for the races next week off her, I have shoes and bag already so just need to order a hat which I'll get from Amazon I think, that's a big saving as the striped dress I wanted was £130 odd in coast :eek:

TUESDAY:

* go to work super early, brother off so no need to pick him up

* go to the gym

* meet the girls for a catch up at one of their houses in the evening

* stop eating and drinking like a big fat bloater - it's exactly one month today until dds birthday, I could get back down to my lowest WW weight in that time! I would not be at target but feel much better.

I thought I'd delete some of the 10k emails I have in my inbox this morning and happened upon a £20 gift voucher for my local shopping centre which was part of a bonus offer on a credit card I have :T

It's been put to use part paying for a couple of dresses for dds birthday, she needs a black tie suitable dress for the cruise and couldn't choose between two, so I bought one and popped back later to get the second as a a surprise, one was £80 down to £20 and is basically a copy of the one in Jessica rabbit the second was £80 to £40 , but came up as £25 minus the gift card it cost £5, very happy with that

Ordered a ring doorbell too today which can go up when the new door is fitted hopefully next week, should come in handy for listening out when the kids come home late, save getting out of bed!

No ops will be made this month as it's time to pay for the door /kids birthdays etc. instead, I have a spare £150 odd float which I'll keep hold of as I do anticipate a lot of spending coming up in July however in the interests of not feeling like a fraud here I've made a £5 op today :rotfl:
