What sort of holidays are you looking for?
I thought we might go across to NI for a few days (car on ferry) or Dublin for a few days but although the prices for travel and accomodation weren't too bad I think I'd spend quite a bit over there. Soon though...Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

it's nearby, have only ever been to Dublin and part of the family come from over there originally so I should really make some effort I suppose!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Cork I think Z and various places around there but I've always fancied seeing the Giant's Causeway too... will probably end up going to Skye though! luckily DS isn't bothered where we go - he's very easygoing still.
edited to add - I know Skye isn't in NI or Ireland! but it's a cheaper option!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

It is - and it's nice too.
But perhaps you would like to go somewhere you fancy rather than where is cheap?"Follow the money!" - Deepthroat (AKA William Mark Felt Sr - Associate Director of the FBI)

I like it too Z, just would like to go somewhere I haven't been before but then again DS hasn't been and I'd like him to appreciate Scotland and he'd enjoy the history stuff at the moment. Sadly I think he knows more than I do already! I did tell him a shocking truth earlier - parents don't know EVERYTHING! t'internet helps though!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Of course they don't - I know everything, and I'm not a parent...

So far today I have:
Done another load of washing, line dried it and ironed that and the remaining ironing.
Gone for a walk with DS followed by a scone and nice coffee - whoops not very MSE.
Swimming with DS - at gym so paid for already.
Made lots of things with mince.... defrosted some bargain stuff I bought to make lasagne only there was too much so now there's lasagne, bolognese and shepherd's pie! Just hope there's room in the freezer! Just waiting for lasagne to come out of the oven cos I'm starving.
Working tomorrow - boo!!!!Mortgage OP 2025 £6250/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
