Hi Tilly,
I've signed up for the MFiT(3) challenge too! Not sure how I'll get there, but no point taking the easy challenges, right?
You're a real inspiration getting so much MSE stuff sorted while on holiday! Fantastic.1 -
Hi Tilly, hope you are having a great time1

Hi MuffinTops, it goes to show how much we have all learnt from this site now that we are on hols. DKs are great and they have both bought one reminder of the holiday, good quality and things which will last, rather than more tut :T
Hi Ammonite and BookWorm, having a fab time :j.
Ammonite, I need a kick when I get back to do more surveys.
Busy, busy day and feet are a little sore from all the walking. Seen amazing sights and loving it.
Hotel today includes lunch, but this can be eaten up until 7pm, so with breakfast at a different hotel this morning, and lunch consumed an hour ago, very light spend day

Glorious weather and great to be walking around with T shirt, instead of waterproofs
Had two main courses for lunch and shared between four. Portions are huge so this worked well and reduced the cost. Tonight is our last evening and we are off out for dinner :T

Hi Tilly,
Just catching up with your diary. Sounds like you are having a great mse time!
Your MFD of 12/12/15 sounds great. ATM I'm looking at 01/02/16, but may try to push for 01/12/15 to be MF around the same time as you.
I can't wait to join the MFI3 challenge, but need to wait another month.
Have a good time tonight

Just getting ready to return to the UK. The week has gone by quickly but we have had an amazing time.
Walked miles again this morning and am looking forward to sitting in the plane and having a sleep :T
Need to grab ham and rolls from the freezer when we land, pick up a couple of apples and some milk.
As it was a reward holiday for DDs excellent GCSE results, I took more spending money than normal, but happy to report I am bringing around £430 back:j. That will be OPd once it's banked.
Back to the grindstone soon enough and now it's the big countdown to Xmas.
Sepa, good idea about crashing GGs diary, I will keep an eye out for a quiet period:)
