Wonderful news...good things definitely come to those who wait ( and deserve them;)) it's so lovely to hear you being careful, but at the same time able to go to the wedding, have a trip of a lifetime etc:D

Wow that apartment is very mse! Pat on the back for you so glad things are easier this year for you, you've come such a long way in such a short space of time! Xx

We couldn't have done any of this without my legacy from my dad's estate which has almost gone :eek:. I am Determined to be as MSE as possible when we are away. I have been researching free things to do in new |York. The apartment is on Staten Island so we can travel into the city on the free commuter boat past the Statue of Liberty.

Niagara Falls will be a pricey couple of days but we decided to have a little luxury for a couple of days after New York. even then I have managed to squeeze 7 of us into two rooms

The hotel has a pool etc so we can take some time off from travelling for a couple of days and relax.
Then we go on to a ranch belonging to a friend which is also a freeby for a week.

Only thing I need to research now is for three days in Toronto at the end of our trip. Almost there.....:)

Beanie it definitely does not offend, it is a lovely idea. Iwill make sure I tell all the family.

Prayers etc still needed for a VISA for DS1. He is now concerned he will be stuck here while we all have the holiday of a lifetime.


I have received three quotes for value of DA's house for probate. On Monday I need to find someone to go over and value the contents. After that we can start to remove personal things.

Plmbl, I will pm you later.

I agree with Beanie and think you're dad would be smiling down on you all we would still be in debt now if it wasn't for DH's grandad leaving us some money. And we are forever thankful for it

Good luck with selling DA's house I hope it doesn't take too long to keep stress levels to a minimum for all of you xxx
