    You have done so well with savings so far Jody, I'm sure you will be able to at least get pretty close to your target amount.

    Looking forward to what plans will be revealed! :D

    I wanted to get my loan term down from 4 years to 3 years by the time I go to Borneo - so far it is down to 3 years 10 months :j

    It's gonna be a challenge! :D

  • Hi Beccie title of your thread caught my eye. I don't have time to read it all just now but I wanted to tell you , my family had a difficult year last year with family illnesses and stuff and so I cashed in an old savings policy that was earning next to nothing and bought 4 plane tickets to Borneo. Best holiday I have ever had. We back packed for 4 weeks and even my teenage daughter eventually admitted she enjoyed it. (she was the only one with perfect make up in the jungle!!!!!) :D

    You will love it. Only wish I could afford to do it all over again next year.:)
    Enough money to live on so retired early...planning to see where life takes me:D

    Hi Teachergirl,

    Thanks, I am really looking forward to it, I will be spending my time volunteering at the orangutan sanctuary.

    Are the spiders as big as I've been told?! :eek:
