    Great that you are having a good holiday...sorry to hear that your DH is ill and hope he manages to get back to enjoy some of the holiday as he works so hard.
    Well done on EGG and the bingo.

    DS's badminton tournament was cancelled - but they forgot to tell those that had entered :rolleyes: So DS got a refund of double his money AND a free court booking for a game of badminton tomorrow afternoon, so he wasn't too upset :cool:

  • Hi Hypno

    Just been catching up on your thread. What rotten luck about DH being ill. Is he feeling any better today ??

    Well done on paying Egg .

    Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday.

    I've not spoken to OH today - I don't want to ring him because I think he will be sleeping on and off for most of the day. When he wakes he will give me a call.

    Done another dooyoo review - "debt help in general" - I could have gone on for pages and pages and pages :rolleyes:

    hope you have a great holiday and your OH recovers quickly

    The 5* accommodation in Scotland was lovely - a 2 bed cottage/town house with luxury furnishing complete with dishwasher, washing machine etc, 2 bathrooms! Lovely! Swimming pool was nice - DD swam a length on her back for the first time - obviously the pool was relatively small but still really pleased - she is only 6! We got a free Sunday lunch out of it too probably worth nearly a £100 !

    Managed not to sign up for timeshare altho I think their deal was quite good. Glad we didn't as someone else who was there managed to get £1K knocked off the price (but still didn't sign up) - I would have been pig sick if we paid full price. We met up with a family there that we know who are members (we didn't know beforehand they were going) they reckon we will be invited again or they can refer us and get £100! So if we get debt free may go back there sometime!

    We are off on another free week's holiday in Cornwall at the end of August - also 5* a result of a survey I did due to MSE!! Really pleased with that...!

    Just wanted to pop along and say Hello, 71 pages, and I have not read any of them!! Sorry. Been so busy getting myself sorted out, and back on track! I will have a read a bit later. I know it will be a long read!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Afternoon!

    Well, OH is having another night at home. Hopefully he will be back in the fold tomorrow.

    We have reached our budget :o So it is a case now of trying to limit the excess.......tomorrow's activities are all booked and paid for, so it is only food really......and the occasional coffee......;)

    Ah well, we have not done too badly - it always was going to be a tight budget to stick to......story of my life :rotfl:

    I am starting a new £20 challenge on Monday - all are welcome to join in -see if we can all beat our previous best :rolleyes:

    Glad to see you're relaxing & taking it easy on holiday Hypno - although your relaxing seems to have a different definition to mine

    Seriously though - glad you're enjoying the break & sorry to read about the better half not being well - but it's amazing how often when you go on holiday & try to relax that this happens - must be the lack of adrenalin.

    Have a good rest of the hols
