    Yeah right :rotfl:

    OK, OK, I can at least give it a go - as the old adage goes, 'ask a busy person' :rotfl:


    Money for food.

    Money for alcohol.

    Occasional parental visits which include lunch and shopping for food/alcohol.

    In short, money :money:.

    Seems to be an alcohol and money theme going on here :rotfl:

    Forgot to mention - paracetamol and AlkaSeltzer :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi Tilly hope you don't mind me dropping in have read bits of your diary and you are an inspiration.

    I am just starting out on my journey and can't wait to get started.

    Regarding your holiday We are doing a SE Asia trip this year but we booked everything ourselves didn't use a travel agent so we could tailor it to what we needed I go in 6 weeks and I am so excited :j

    Enjoy your planning!!

    Hiya, I think we will be booking everything ourselves, but we wanted to get some advice about locations etc beforehand :T. I'm beginning to feel excited and it's a year away, I can only imagine how you are feeling :j:j:j

    We are flying into Vietnam but home from Kuala Lumpur I booked my flights with Qatar and got a really good price and went through £co got about £60 back :T

    I am just unsure how much to take for spending money everyone says it's really cheap. My youngest DD and DS are coming with us. Oldest DD going away with her boyfriend.

    DS usually goes with his mates but decided he would come with us only because he was getting a free holiday!! He definitely wouldn't have came if we were going anywhere else.
