The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Tete's actually put me off the CP break a bit! the one in January was really nice, and very romantic, but I guess a lot of the activities are done by the gym we're since joined. NIMs holiday time is so scant I want to make the most of it but I still want to go loads of places!

How do you mean turfed off?! This thread is a baby compared to our old one, that was 256 pages at the end!

Ooooh I'm in the holiday mood now, I'm humming New York New York and my colleagues are looking at me funny.... probably assume it's the threat of getting a red card cracking me up.

Sorry, I didn't mean to! Just always seems a little bit forced to me somehow ... and I'm not very fit! I guess 20 days' holiday are ok for people who are living in their home country and get to see their family more often. Is it possible for him to take the odd day unpaid to go to Ireland for a long weekend - one day's wage shouldn't make too much difference in a month and you'll easily earn it back in MS anyway - then he couls save up his 'odd days for Ireland' for a week in, say, New York?

It'll be okay if he doesn't have to use 3/4 days between Christmas and New Year, its just if he does that's almost 1/4 of his holiday time that is fixed, plus a 2 week break, suddenly its all gone!

Lol I am soooo determined to get to New York, and go to the Magnolia bakery for cupcakes. See the empire state building. go ice skating on the big rink. ride the ferry. Lovely.

I'd love to go to New York and do a little SATC tour, but for some reason OH isn't into that idea! I think I'd have to go off on my SATC tour and he'd have to go and do something like a Die Hard (or other action flick set in NYC!) tour! I wonder if we could find ourselves there on our Honeymoon...hmmm... I really need to win the lottery to pay for this flash honeymoon I'm thinking about!

I thought the rule was 100 pages? We just kept the last thread quiet and hoped no-one would notice the size!
ETA: There you go Dinah, page 54!
