    Hello, I've seen you posting on other diaries for a while but only just found your own diary. Super impressed by the MB, well done. Have some tips for books to read too as my range is not very diverse! Have a fantastic holiday and recharge those batteries.

    I can't believe we're off on hols and it's the most perfect summer day outside - hot sun; a gentle breeze and the birds are singing their hearts out :coffee:

    A few last minute bits and bobs before heading off:
    • £135 to the ISA
    • Savings interest transferred
    • Free spins for both of us
    • Set up some more free spin offers for when we get back
    • Finish packing

    Ah the good old British weather. We left during a heatwave and landed back on home soil in the middle of hurricane bertha - there were a few green faces on that plane!


    Have an amazing time Mr & Mrs E :) (and a smooth flight)

    Seriously...are you trying to dump me?!

    Oops - poor PB will thinking I'm avoiding her! ;)

    TYVM for the single malt, we are completely out at the moment. It's homebrew (or tea) all the way, need to continue building our savings as work remains crap.

    We actually ended up coming home from hols early, there is only so much sun and eating Greek salad we can do. Had a few bonus days at home as well, it was lovely. I've come to realise that staycations are actually really enjoyable as long as you have a wee bit more treat money than usual :) I no longer think that I would enjoy retiring in the sun.

    Hello Mr.Ed!

    Glad you enjoyed your holiday, and the time at home. Although I enjoy my holidays away, there's no place like home.

    Have you decided how you are going to vote on Thursday?
