Be glad to get home - can go back to no spend days....

Spent £47.50 on petrol, never thought it was going to stop going in, but hopefully only need to put £10ish in b4 the weekend, then be back to normal for a bit...... £20 to £30 a month, so can't complain.

Did save £40 on a holiday, and only have to pay half of it, going away later in the year with a friend, we met back in 2004 when we on hol in Tunisia, (yes a holiday romance), then stayed in touch, both ended up in Dom Rep in 2005, we were opp ends of the island, but so weird, I'd done a day trip to the local water park, and saw the dolphin swim, really weird feeling, but walked up the jetty to see how they went, (when I did mine you were lay in the water and the dolphins pushed u up by your feet, on the video when it was my bit, I'm going oh my god!!!), out there they went by the dorsels (?) and it was him at that moment in time.......
We've stayed in touch since then, when I've been away he's working, when he's free (hes on fixed hols) its either been school hols, or something cropped up, so he rang this morning, said I've got 2 weeks later in the yr do you fancy seeing if you can search us a break, both independant, so need own rms, he flys London, I'm Manchester, so couldn't get any cheap deals, so plan B, I suggested we come to Devon, about 200miles for both of us, got a discount from the site, and he offered to pay the rest....... but I said go halves, but I've bagged the double bed, and he can have the choice of the other 2 rms..... (nothing like a bit of space!!), so were having a week away....

So weird as the last male I went on hoiliday with was back when I was 29 (nearly 11yrs ago) we shared a caravan, but he was gay so it was more like sharing with a girl, we had facepack ngts etc....

The best was the site (we'd met down here, we were inseperable, anyone that didn't know just presumed we were a couple) they couldn't quite work it out.

The 1st ngt about 4am, I heard this almightly scream coming from him, thought oh heck he's done something, the security were knocking on the door, as someone thought it was a domestic, theres me in teddy bear pjs - answering the door, turned out his lordship had gone to the loo, gone back to the bedroom, and thought their was a strange man had broke into the van, it wasn't he'd spotted his own reflection.

Another of his incidents.......

We'd decided to go greyhound racing, and as we went for a meal 1st, we both got dressed up, by the time we got to the racing, he was 3 parts drunk (i was sober driving), and half way though he wanted the loo, not knowing where they were asked and then found out they were the blue porta loos..... he had to queue, goes in, then comes out at the top of his voice - theres no mirror, theres no light in there - could of throttled him.....

Amazon asks your date of birth and I'm not 18 so it won't let me buy things on there and my mum won't let me use her account unless I pay her to use it (on top of paying for the products I buy) so I have to wait until I'm 18. Maybe I could just wait and then when I'm 18, get the vouchers or something.

Be careful as the points on Dooyoo expire after a while xx
