    I know the feeling. We haven't had a hol since July 2004 (just a week) and when full on DFW from 05 to recently, never a day off ..but kind of different when own business....has been hard for OH though and he is worn out. Still no proper days off but it's OK.

    Was it worth it? Absoltely esp when I look at the outgoings each month so keep at it and when it's all concluded you will feel totally fantastic. Promise.
