    Morning Adam

    Morzine & Avoriaz is my favourite place at the moment, my OH spent 7 weeks out there last Christmas just snowboarding so I flew out a couple of times. Have you ever done Whistler? We keep looking but the supplements for a couple are ridiculous and I refuse to pay them!

    I used to ski and only switched to boarding a couple of seaons ago, I could never go back to ski's and those awful boots now!

    What a gorgeous morning for walking to walk, felt very autumnal!

    I have been talked into going to St Ives again, I know I clearly have no willpower! My friend is paying for all the petrol (as she was going regardless) so I only need £50 spending money as were only out on the Saturday night and we will be staying with her family. Another one of our friends is also coming as well now, girls weekend woo hoo!

    I've been to Whistler Woowoo. It was a-ma-zing! Think that is probably my best place ever to ski. Hope you got a nice fleece. Don't worry about St Ives, so long as you stay focused on the long term goal I'm sure a small deviation won't do too much damage. I'll be spending this week while visiting family and friends.

    Well done on the 29p!

    Hi RumPunch

    I keep trying to persuade my OH to go to Whistler for his 40th birthday (March 2013), I want an amazing hotel with a hot tub outside so I can drink champagne in the snow!

    Hmmm, now can you see how I ran up so much debt lol!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Very true Red, I don't really regret any of it, in fact I had a lot of fun running up my debt!

    That's not to say I haven't learnt my lesson though, I honestly have.

    I will be able to do so much more fun stuff when I don't have to hand all my hard earned cash over to Lloyds in interest!
