Vikki thats amazing well done you!!!!!
I am in a bit of a muddle, my cousin has come over from Australia for 10 weeks to stay with us, she wants to do sooooo much stuff. Dublin, London, Alton Towers, festivals etc.. How am I going to afford all this if I am paying off debts!?
Its going to be really hard for me! Any advice people?

:eek:

That's a lot!! Are there other family members available to travel/tour about with her, or does it have to be you every time? (although I'm sure you don't want to miss out either!!)

Well shes 18, so I am the nearest to her age as the rest are 30 odd with children. So its kinda only me!!! I have found dublin for £70 for a couple of days for flights and in a hostel, which I don't mind as we will be sight seeing most of the time. She said she doesn't have lots of money so I think I will see how much she has tonight and plan what she wants to do most and see what I can do!
What a bad time to come when I am debt busting LOL!
Going to find some free festivals to go to, as there is a page on this website for lots!

London can be done CHEAP, if you are willing to put the work in. Mega bus can cost as little as £1.50 each way to major towns and its as good as any other coach company. There are loads to do free museums/walks/clubs you just need to search for them. If you want to do attractions look out for promo's ie bogof's. Last time I went to London we only used bogof's and although entry is expensive split between two its not too bad. If you book accomoctaion NOW it will be cheaper, we booked about 3 months in advance I got the same room that cost 4* more a week before. If you can book somewhere on the outskirts you can always walk or underground it to places you want to se, it could be cheaper, but check as sometimes its not. Youth hostals are also in London so check them out.

Alton towers... Get to a supermarket asap and look out for kelloggs 'grown ups go free' box top. Its a bogof that can be used until the 31st July. Makes alton towers £25 each I think plus travel. If you want to do Madame Tussards in London buy two boxes of cereal Sadly the offer on this box for the London eye expires the end of May.

HTH :T

Thanks for that postingalwaysposting!!!!
Great advice.
I just don't know Vikki, I just don't see how I can pay off soooo much when shes here. Its going to be really hard. I am going to try my hardest. As long as I am debt free before christmas I will be mega happy! But obviously the sooner the better!
