    Hurrah to the idea of free holidays - we only ever use our CC points on deals now, out good food show tickets were done that way this year and last and I have a bumper (for me and my frugal supermarket shopping budget!) quarters payout of somewhere around 2300 points coming in November so looking forward to planning a use for those!

    I have to confess to being a "dog person" who has a cat because with being out all day we really can't have a dog......which might explain why our cat will sit to command.......hmm! (MrEH made the grave mistake of informing me when we got Her Ladyship that "You can't teach a cat to sit!" Oh yes you can!

    You're making me feel guilty about the houseworky stuff - I have loads I should have done today but it can wait until tomorrow now!

    It will probably be Brittany Len, we have been there several times before and always had a wonderful holiday. We always seem to hit on lucky with the weather too.

    France 2011 courtesy of Mr T:T or as near as damn it anyway.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    To be honest I prefer Asda as it is closer but with the CC rewards I am afraid that Mr T has to come first especially with the double points on offer at the moment.

    Tigger was more like a dog than a cat too she would run to greet you and was very loyal for a cat, I too am more of a dog person but OH cant stand dogs at all.

    Please dont feel guilty about the housework, I only ever manage to get through half my list:o

    Hope you enjoy spending those lovely CC rewards:beer:

    Sunday, the day of rest..............yeah right:rolleyes:

    Pouring with rain here and DS has just informed me that the ventilation pipe coming from the new boiler is letting in rain through the roof..AGAIN:mad: I shall have to call the men out tomorrow to fix it AGAIN.

    I have updated the banking and I am going to pay £500 this month against debt I think I shall pay Mam back in full as I am starting to feel really guilty about not paying her back sooner.


    List for today........
    • Take MIL shopping and get last few bits for week
    • Vacuum and dust bedrooms
    • Vacuum hall stairs and landing (OH can do that;))
    • Do homework for Tuesday's class
    • Get those pesky books on Amazon before spiders form a web over them:o
    • Meal plan for week
    I am having a bonfire night party on Saturday so I will need some fireworks for that, I have plenty of hotdogs, pots for jackets etc so shall only need some fresh bread rolls nearer the day.

    I have an odd sense of uneasiness today, dont know why:confused::o
