Aw shucks, thanks guys! I'm so grateful to MiL as I've been entering competitions to win holidays as DS2 has never flown in a plane, DS1 can barely remember doing so as he was 2, and they've both been harping on about Florida for ages. She's giving the boys something I could only dream of giving them, and we are going top notch and staying in Universal Studios too :eek:.
Now we just need passports, spending money and holiday clothes

I've been to Florida three times Pooh, once just Mr L and I, and twice when DS1 was a toddler. He can barely remember it though (and suffice to say neither can Mr L!!!). I'm really looking forward to it.
Verbatim, I don't know what we'd do without MiL!!
Today has been a NSD. Not hard when you have no money!! Cleaned out a drawer while looking for some paperwork and found £5 in coins though :T. Also counted out £3 in coppers from the jar to be banked.
Got the Nat Trust renewal through and realised they now do monthly direct debit not just annual, for no extra cost. Called them to change, so now paying £5.95 per month rather than needing to find £71.40 in April.
Setting myself a target to find as close to £1k as I can by Florida :eek:.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Thanks Robin. It feels very frivolous when we are barely making ends meet this week, but on the other hand it's wonderful to have something so amazing to look forward to, and memories for the boys to keep forever XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
