    If the weather is as changeable there as it is here - horrendous downpours followed by sunshine, were you also wearing your wellies?
    I can just see it now PMSL :D:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes wellies as well as came from the stables and your right very changeable weather so did not bother bringing shoes just washed wellies in stream as wanted to be a bit presentable:rotfl:

    Really I shouldn't have put in about the 99p holidays as unfortunately when all you lot got on the internet our 99p holidays went BUT we did have probably 4 years or so or holidaying about 5 times a year very inexpensively before we had to pay regular prices - we took FULL advantage whenever we could. I also added we did Australia & trips back the US (hubby is from US) whenever we could too.

    You've been working hard & so should feel able to give yourself a break. Your parents are just worrying that you might need the money for the holiday further down the line BUT as long as you're sure you can afford it now then as I said DO IT!

    My feet are itching for a cruise/holiday now & I'd go tomorrow if we didn't have hospital/docs appts. I've never ever regretted taking any holiday & neither will you.

    That's the problem, getting travel insurance when you have procedures and appointments lined up :(
    Just seen a very nice Baltics cruise at the end of June on a Princess, nicely reduced ...

    Do it, life is too short and you don't want to regret it. Myself and Mr Monkey run our own business and Mr monkey never switches off, he's always been a hard worker but it's very difficult being your own boss. If the phone rings on a Sunday morning he can't ignore it, then he has to act on it which may mean Sunday turns into yet another work day. I booked centre parks a few weeks ago for the weekend purely because we have no phone reception, it was bliss and I actually saw the return of the Mr Monkey I married:)

    Go and have a lovely relax ready to hit the ground running on your return. You will feel better for it.



    I've been without a phone for 2 hrs while it was fixed. I felt like I'd lost an arm:o had no idea what time it was and was unreachable:( very strange. When did we become so reliant on technology?

    This part's interesting, my mum genuinely wants us to go because she's scared OH will break up with me if we don't because I work us both into the ground which is 90% why we both quit our jobs. To try and re-shift the balance and gain back some normality.

    Feeling very sad about Princess Melody. It will be midday here when you raise your glasses and I won't be online, so I will raise a virtual one and have a quiet moment x
