    Glad you had a nice time PL, even if it was cold :o I'm going to be taking plenty of warm clothes and some spare blankets with us, Devon a couple of years ago in a caravan was freezing :cool:

    Today I need to go and get ds passport photos done, I also want to get stuff on ebay and get the flat completely done ready for us to go on monday. I will start getting stuff together to take with us and then tomorrow I need to clean the guinea pigs out and do last minute bits and pieces.

    Hoping for a low spend day today, the money is just disappearing far too rapidly this month already and theres very little of it being made so far :o

    So we've been out and spent yet more money :o £10 on ds passport photos (budgeted for), £3.35 in co-op on crisps and dishwasher salt, £6 on mite lotion for the guinea pigs as one has a bald spot on her back :o, £6 in superdrug on coconut oil for my hair and razor blades. The car park was free :T and after that we went to the train station for a while and watched some trains :)

    Home now, had lunch, about to stick a few bits on ebay although ds has already spied a few bits that were heading that way and they have disappeared back to his bedroom :cool:

    Busy morning today, need to get the place straight and pack ready to set off in the morning. We're going to Mums this afternoon for roast dinner and Dads coming home for the afternoon too. Then it will be home, baths and an early night :D:D Wish I could feel slightly excited about going, maybe its the weather but already I'm thinking I'd rather be in my flat in the warm than a cold wet chalet :o Hey ho, am sure it will be lovely once we're there ;)

    I'm not sure of it's the time of year but all my money seems to be disappearing faster than i'd like it to. I listed 43 things on fleabay yesterday and I have 7 that are ending today.

    Have a lovely time. I'm sure it will be lovely when you get there and you never know, that might be where the sun is hiding :D

    Probably not PL, although if I have got the hang of my phone then I might manage it :)
