  • Oh snaggles please dont judge it was booked pre proper light bulb moment

    Jamacia all inclusive I know silly girl but I would lose money if I cancelled it and to be honest got a great deal. As you can guess we've re-mortgaged to pay of all our debts so now I can go and enjoy it but I was starting to feel really silly and stupid about booking it :)
    But now I cant wait as I said I am saving for it first time in my life we have 2 terrimundis a mortgage one and holiday one we put £ coins in the holiday one so I reckon I have about 200 in there !

    Elantan still loving the job started seeing some amazing bonuses so excited about it all I'm using my bonuses for savings rather than salary I can live easily on my basic salary so a bonus will be a bonus!!!
