Have a great holiday Sea ...no worrying!!!!0

Goodness me - I'm finally back. Phew - don't think I'll be able to catch up on all I've missed on the board!
We stayed longer as the family we went with wanted to and as they were paying - couldn't really say no lol! However, drove from basically Spain to london on friday, then back up to blackpool last night - and am shattered (although OH refused to let me drive!). Am getting myself into a complete panic as i STILL have a scheme of work to write, Sophia's school uniform to buy, shopping to do, sorting out the post that came etc (arghh at debt).
The holiday was amazing- the best holiday ever. The children had a wonderful time - swimming, kids club, pony rides - even my gorgeous just 2 yr old William went on a pony BY HIMSELF!!Will upload some photos if I get time. It was nice to come back to a tidy house though now it looks like a bombsite and we;'ve not unpacked the car! I'm also recovering from to much alcohol - so cheap and lovely - as well as lack of sleep but it was so good I'll get over it!
I have no idea about how much we spent, but honestly, I don't care - I kno wwe didn't go too mad as we didn't spend all our money, but things were more expensive than I thought they would be. Oh well, hol of a lifetime and has made us more determined to clear this debt so that we can enjoy more time like that with family.
Must go and sort things now - will try to catch up, but might no be able to for a while as Sophia starts school this week and I'm back full time as of tomorrow.
Hope all are well

Right, on fire today - Seaxwyn- you'll be proud lol! I've now completed a half a term's scheme of work as well as sort through half my files and planner (last years tho). Now need to write it up on the comp (hence why I'm now on here lol) and save it as I've not got ink for my printer - grr. I have also done 2 loads of hol washing, but the car remains unpacked as OH on xbox. DD is out with her auntie and cousins so that's good and William is crashed out asleep. So sweet!

Hi Sea, welcome home!! Your holiday sounds just perfect, we have been to France with Eurocamp a couple of times, and it's brilliant. I can't wait until we can afford to go again."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250

HI Sea, So glad to hear that you had a good holiday and WELL DONE doing that scheme of work - that's fantastic!
I'm just back from holiday too. We also had a lovely time but unlike you I know precisely how much I spent: £528.39. Oh dear.
Let's hope the post-holiday glow will linger a while for both of us. Good luck with the full-time teaching, that must be a daunting prospect. Hope the family adjusts well and the money soon starts to make a difference.Total debt: 1 January 2007 £[strike]49,387.79[/strike] 1 January 2012 £[STRIKE]19,312.85[/STRIKE] 1 August 2012 £11,517.620
