    Sooo exciting get those flights booked!

    I reckon 5 days without you will mean I actually get some work done lol!

    I don't know what you mean :A! I want to book the flights now but will talk to OH about it when I get in, then we can decide on hotels etc :D. I need some new trousers before we go as well, eek!

    Yep, we'll probably all do a lot more work for those five days! :D

    Will expect to see some dolphin pics on FB when you come back :)

    I can't believe I am saying this.....but I am having 2nd thoughts! I REALLY want to go BUT........I keep adding up the cost and while I think it's very reasonable for 4 days, it's still money I shouldn't really be spending :o.

    Part of me is thinking 'oh to hell with it' and the other part is thinking 'wait until you are debt free then you could go anytime without having to save'.

    I expect by the time anyone sees this I will have changed my mind again :o

    Think it over for a couple more days and then see how the decision sits with you. I originally cancelled St Ives as I was feeling guilty, I ended up going and having the best time with no regrets x

    That did cross my mind but I need to get the flights booked tomorrow at the latest as it's supposedly a 'book 14 days before fare'....I know that might be a gimmick but I wouldnt be able to go if it did go up!

    I hate making decisions!

    I think you should go for it. Your mind is set to pay back the debt, this won't throw you back at all and we only live once. Go, enjoy it, than come back with the same attitude towards your debts as you have now and you'll be fine. And don't forget the longer it takes to make the decision the higher the price will be.

    You really shouldn't feel guilty about having a break from daily life, you don't want to look back on these years as a complete waste.

    Will it make a difference to your debt free date?
