    That's good it gives you plenty of time to save, also the weather will be lovely and warm and not humid hot,i've found best time to go has been April/May, we went one year in October and it was so humid, we did see some amazing lightening storms though.

  • Holiday is booked and confirmed :j. We fly 8th May from Manchester (Ts&Cs specified it had to be Manchester or Gatwick), so I’ve booked a premier inn the night before as we have to be at check in early morning. I need to book the train journeys too, but can’t afford that just yet. Hotel was £53.50 for a family room. Train will be £91 for all of us, return, which doesn’t seem too bad.

    Money has literally been running away from me the last 2 days.
    £5 school trip.
    £12 Food Technology ingredient money for the term!!
    £10 dinner money top up (free school meals doesn’t actually cover it :().
    £40 Oakley’s flea/worming stuff.
    And a fortune (haven’t added it up yet) on DS2’s Birthday on Friday!
