    Evening guys,

    Bit peed off now, just read a post somebody so very kindly wrote in my diary and its annoyed me a little. Okay i have a few holidays a year, but is that really that wrong?? We saved really hard for our holiday to Vegas next month, and I have used overtime money to pay for Christmas trip to America, and before we book a trip we always look around for the best deals. I just found what they said a bit harsh. Okay if i'd stuck it on a credit card fair dos, but i have saved for it, not added to my debt. Ah well. I did write the poster a very long reply back, but went to post and it vanished.

    Ah well....

    Well done on the ebay sale and winnings Amy, thats fab news.

    xx

    Just checked dooyoo and since yesterday when i left it i have earned 600 points from other people looking at my reviews - yay. Also, somebody sent me a msg welcoming me and saying they enjoyed reading my reviews, not sure if everybody gets that. Need to crack on with my two reviews for Monday.

    Thanks Lilmiss, very sweet of you. I just found it a bit odd they read my whole diary, and literally slagged me off for more or less everything i have done. Maybe they are one of these types that ready peoples diaries and then slate you. Or maybe i just suck at trying to become debt free.

    Jen, i said exactly that in my post back to the person, but unfortuantely it vanished before it posted. I have lost so many people close to me, so i don't like to watch my life go past and then regret i didn't enjoy myself. Next year we are saving to go on a world cruise, but after that it will be house saving time and starting a family, and probably no holidays, apart from somewhere in England, which i can live with. As i'm only 24 just getting all the big holidays done.

    Off to write a review, or maybe i should go waste lots of money buying dvds. Very funny because i don't buy dvds, i rent most of them because i never watch one more than once. hey ho..!
