    12/31 AFDs now, although me and DH both thought dinner would have been enhanced by a glass of red wine - but we didn't have any in the house, so (thank goodness) we were safe from real temptation.

    I've just booked a week in Carcassonne (France) for DH's 60th birthday at the beginning of April. We're both looking forward to that. Booked via Expedia's sale via Topcashback with enhanced cashback which finishes today. Haven't booked the flights yet, which I'll do with Ryanair after payday at the end of the month.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
