            Thank you for the birthday wishes they had a lovely time
 We went to the turtle hospital and were lucky to see new born turtles who didn't make it to the sea the night before, so cute think we donated about £50 towards the cause and kk went nuts at the little shop
 Came back to the villa and chilled a couple of hours before heading put for dinner and was all going well till kk fell and landed direct on his knee bruising instantly and I've never heard him scream like that. Restaurant staff were great bringing a bag of ice straightaway. But he's fine as a hour later he wanted to go spends the rest of his money lol he's some boy
 Me.....I'm ready to come home as I'm struggling due to the stiff mattresses so my hips spine and shoulder blades are in agony which isn't nice to the poi t I was crying this morning which isn't like me at all
 I have however been paid by one of my parents so I've jigged my pennies about and i have my emergency fund of £1000 sorted woo hoo
 Also told hubby we have £250 less than what we actually have on our card as I really want to pay off my national insurance contributions when I get home and have the money for xanders school trainers so it's done hes been told an amount and that's that 😂😂
 Quite chuffed I got the emergency fund up to where it needs to be so that's one thing I can relax about.
 Looking forward to going home tomorrow as missing abbie loads and also our wee Peggy pup xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.056

            Afternoon
 It's lunchtime here so the kids are still eating so I've done my finances
 Have sent £159 and paid off my national insurance contributions from my last self assessment tax return so I don't have to worry about finding the money after xmas so that's a relief
 Didn't do my exercise on the cross trainer this morning but I did get my suitcase unpacked so thats a bonus.
 I've also managed to get the return label printed out to return Xander's faulty trainers and I have also printed out paperwork for 2 new starts in September so just need to write out the contracts and hand them over to mum, I've had her little girl before and now i'll be looking after her and her baby brother.
 The school drop off was stressful. one mindee goes in at 9am and KK and another mindee went in at 9.15am they sent KK to the wrong door and I told them they would need to go get him as obviously it's his first day he's never met this new teacher and at the risk of a meltdown sending him to the wrong door wasn't the best idea. So this means they'll be a 15 minute delay in getting my mindee at 3pm and KK and other mindee at 3.15pm
 Still haven't found out what hubby's credit card is sitting at think I'll do this tonight so I can make a start on it. If you don't hear from me I'll be in the jail hehe
 Also need to do a food shop thinking of just going to Lidl to do a big shop and I'll do a freezer shop to fill up the chest freezer at a later date.
