    You guys are so canny - thank you for all your lovely good wishes :A. I keep forgetting and then remembering and getting excited all over again!!! Can’t wait until it’s all booked though so it feels more real.

    Hard saving for spending money begins now!

    Penny, we spent most of our holiday at Universal Studios last time, so hopefully we can do different things this time. Feel VERY lucky to be getting the opportunity again.

    Beanie, Christmas is such an expensive time that I usually spend my Christmas money on food shopping or diesel something rather than on myself. Also, my birthday is the day before DS1’s and the kids have just gone back to school in September, so I usually spend my birthday money on similar things as we are skint then too. It’s just a habbit I’ve got in to :o.
