  • Evening SA, I'm soooo jealous of you jetting off on Thursday!!! Have a great time.

    DGD sounds very independent, just like my girls at her age! xx

    Hello all

    More or less ready now - house cleaned, dog walked, cases packed, nails done, updated online grocery shop ready for when we get back.

    Not payday until Friday and had to pay off the CC 2 days early as will be away when payment due. Had to lend myself £140 from VSP until we get back home. It's brought to my attention though that I'm letting this slip again - I used to pay off the CC at the end of every week and now I'm not clearing it until payday. Need to address this after the holiday and get back ahead of myself.

    After I had my nails done we went to the local "Spoons" for a cheap and cheerful pre-holiday lunch. I can't believe how busy it was for a Wednesday lunchtime. So this is what everyone gets up to while I'm at work!

    Taxi booked for 6am tomorrow, more or less the same time I usually leave for work so not too bad at all. Flight is at 9am and we should be landing around 1pm. Can't believe this time tomorrow we'll be installed at the hotel, in fact Mr SA's hire scooter is arriving at 4pm. Hate leaving the dog although DD has got the week off work to look after her and she's supposed to be clearing out her bedroom too.

    Will catch up with you all when I get back - behave yourselves :)

    Thanks Beanie - just having a cheeky glass of red before an early night :)

    DD is taking cat to vets Friday when she gets paid. Cat has got very sore looking tummy. My thoughts are maybe mange, she is always rummaging about on the banks at the back of our house where there are a lot of foxes. Told DD to keep back £50 of her board towards it as although the cat is officially hers she can't afford to pay out a lot for vet bills and the cat hangs around me not her to be honest. Fingers crossed it's something that can be cleared up easily. Every time we go on holiday we have vet dealings - it's unreal!

    Hello all. Bought hotel wifi for the week but can only get it on one item so writing this on phone. We're having a fab time, weather is hot and sunny. Mr SA had a couple of falls yesterday but is ok.

    DD took cat to vets yesterday - cat has flea allergy, Frontline not working this year. Very common this year, they've seen loads. Cost DD £91!!! Antibiotics, flea stuff, etc. Hopefully will work.
