    I have been reading your diary over the last couple of days Emz and I have finally got to page 22 tonight. I feel like I have had a FF of your progress and you have done so well over the time since this diary started. I was in need of inspiration and you have given it to me along with other amazing people on these diaries.

    I will be following with interest and will chip in from time to time if you don't mind.

    So, I'm now off work for 16 whole days :T

    Rome is all booked. We're flying out Tuesday and coming back Friday. Sadly, we won't be alone - OH's parents are tagging along. Less said about that the better.

    Having said I won't be doing any extra earning, I might have to now. It's OH's 40th birthday a week on Wednesday and I've got him a PS4. He has been going on about one for ages and I wanted to get him a nice surprise (don't think he'll get anything good from his parents - if anything at all!!). My mum has put it on her Argos card, so I've got 12 months to pay it off.

    It also means that I can get him some games for Christmas, so will need to build up my Amazon balance.

    Might go to the cinema on Sunday with one of our free tickets. Anyone got any suggestions?

    Emz xx

    ETA - £10 Amazon voucher just claimed from Pinecone. My balance is now £34.82.

    Not sure that I'm looking forward to this holiday. My eye is playing up again and I think I've got a cold coming on. It has also cost more than it should thanks to paying the majority of OH's parent's share too.

    I'll try and make the best of it, but at the moment, just want to stay here.

    So sorry to hear your eye is starting to bother you again. Hope the cold doesn't appear, have you tried Vics First Defence ? Has worked for me before.
    Hope you have a nice holiday x
