You go for it Elizabeth - nothing like a little bit of MSE travelling!! Its good for the soul and after the past few weeks it will do you wonders I'm sure!! Don't forget to get the best deal on everything..... foreign exchange, travel insurance, sun-cream etc!!

Wishing you a wonderful time - Oh, when you going?? Nats x

Well I won't really need anything but spending money, I already have everything else I need!

Am going on the 23rd April for 5 nights.

Plan is to stay in Pula for 2 nights at youth hostel, then head to Zangreb for Saturday Night and to see the museums.. then want to head to Plitvic Lakes National Park, hopefully pick up a really cheap tent and camp over for 1 night then head back to Pula on the Monday. Everything including spending money will come in at under £200 at most... reckon I can get that down further though! We don't really drink that much and are both happy to just see the country rather then having to pay to do things... so spending money should be minimal!!

I am really excited 6 weeks to go....

Oh you lucky thing! It costs me and OH that much in visas alone (we're not EU citizens)! Still, have been checking my bank account and for some reason Easyjet hasn't deducted our airfare from my account - and we bought the tickets in January! Fingers crossed they don't remember about it.

And have a brilliant time on holiday. You deserve it for being so good about everything.

I am looking forward to it Sorting out the youth hostels this week hopefully!

Had a bit of an overspend at the weekend, took out £40 but needed another £10 - boo!

That included petrol money, night out, picnic, and 2 meals out though... so would of been difficult to get by on less. I have a house party this weekend though so at least that'll be cheap to make up for it!!

Have just brought a reduced chicken for £2 which will cook for sandwich meat for the week as well as dinner tonight. Am seeing ex on Tuesday to swap back things - said that it's best for us to not see each other now for a few months, give our heads a bit of space.

Feeling as positive as I can do... am making cheap plans for Thursday and Friday, so it'll just be tonight and Wednesday that I'll need to entertain myself. Need to sort out my house though... it's got in a bit of a mess what with everything that's been happening!!

Hope everyone is good

Already been - went to Rome for 6 days. It was brilliant!

ElizabethJH

Oh I'd love to go to Rome! I really want to go round Vatican City! Italy is my favourite country - so full of art and beauty!!

Glad you had a good time

I'll save that one for when I'm properly out of debt for definate

Got my end of year pay review.. more good news

£300 payrise and £670 bonus. I'll get taxed about 25% on that but still should be £500 extra fingers crossed. That's going to cover my holiday £200 and the rest will just get my overdraft down.

I need to start getting out letters to get all my credit card charges back now! Need to remember my cheque book for work!
