  • so back from my weekend away. came in way under budget as only spent £15 :) so £25 left over. will save that for leicester and can reduce amount i need from debt account.

    made a payment today of £488 to mum :D

    items sold for £12 yest so will pay that off when it clears :)

    still got another cd to list as well

    so in other news i have decided to go on holiday to india this year :D i was going to spend about £500 going to spain or somewhere so thought sod it and will go somewhere i really want to go (its wayyyyyy cheaper than peru so thats why im not going there!). i have given myself a budget of about £1500 but hope to come in under. flights seem to be around £400-£500 and tours are £300-£600. need to decide where abouts to go to pick tour. will get a guide book from the library if they have one.

    More expensive than Spain, less expensive than Peru

    Sounds like the perfect compromise :D

  • so exciting news! clippy is going to peru in aug! :j:beer::D:T

    friend couldnt go india in oct and when i went into sta to get some se asia brochures the guy told me peru trips were on bogof! now obviously this is going to be a bit more expensive than india but so so worth it. peru is the place i most want to visit atm. if i went next year i was looking at a tour that cost £2450 which included salt flats. now the tours on offer dont go there but they are only £1800 so will be £900 each. for that amount of saving i think i can live without the salt flats! so so so excited :j still need to book it yet....

    so now i need to step up the challenge to try and be debt free before i go! so every penny will count now and def need to ensure i dont waste money! MS is really quiet atm :( decided really need to start comping again for cash or prizes i can sell. will aim for 100 comps per week. think that should be doable as is only 10 per week night and 25 on each day at weekend! and if i dont have any plans then i can do more! :)

    plans for today-

    clean downstairs
    wash floor
    go gym
    make l&p soup
    make dinner for friends
    enter 25 comps when friends gone

    best go get dressed and get on with it! :D

    Wow that sounds incredible Clippy.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
