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!!!!!)
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:D0 -
