But getting new bike tonight (OH has bought me it on his cycle to work scheme - not that I'll be cycling to work!) then off out for dinner - I hope everyone has a good day:wave:

    **hands round smelling salts for those who faint with shock at my appearance 2 days running**

    Morning everyone

    Still a very hazy day in Leeds.

    On debt news, I'm going through my finances tomorrow to see just how much my maternity leave has cost me (and see how much debt I've got into because of it). I really want a holiday abroad in October but don't want to increase or prolong the debt to do it. I can see my week being a tent in the back garden:eek::eek::eek:

    love and hugs to all - again, I'll try to pop in at regular intervals.

    well of course i dont know if this is possible (if you know anyone well enough) but this is a choice for a cheap holiday and is what my parents and my parents-in-law do

    basically i live in Kent (so do my in-laws) but my parents live in Derbyshire, however to make things easier and to give people holidays for minimum money they do a bungelow swop so my parents come down and stay in the in-laws bungelow and the in-laws go and stop in my parents bungelow.

    could always start a MSE daily chat house swop holiday club...

    hehe i think i might need to charge a bit of commission on this idea then ;)

    if people do get interested in doing something like this it would be cool to get a website set up with details of dates availible and pictures etc
