    But my debt's may be here a lot longer than my mum!!!

    i second doddles, please please please go and enjoy the time with your mum, yes you will have an extra month added to your debt free date but i think you hit the nail on the head with that last sentance, your mum cannot wait, your debts can :)

    I couldn't agree more with what everyone has said. My mum died last November and it makes you realize whats important. Your family are the most important thing in the world and you should def get away with your mum.

    Also by paying cash you haven't increased your debt as you paid cash so thats allowed lol

  • Just had to register to add my two-penneth worth! In the past I've gone on hols with my mum and I've got some great memories from them. She's now terminally ill and I doubt I'll have the chance again. Grab the chance while you can. As for your DFD, don't worry, a month is nothing in the scheme of things.

    Go and have a great time.

    My parents are elderly too and I know they will go soon, so every Friday I take them shopping and make them laugh even though I don't have to. Time with family is more important than anything.
