Another vote for Portugal. We went years ago when DS1 was in a rucksack and walked a lot near Estoi. It was lovely. Indeed the only 'us' photo on display in this house is one of OH, baby and mountain side from that (spring 2004) holiday.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0

Totally, just do it. I so get you on the Christmas thing. I always spend it with OH's family (who I adore) but sometimes the emotion of Christmas just makes me dream of being able to spend it somewhere alone, completely away from the pretense and forced happiness....! One month is nothing in the grand scheme of things :-)0

Thank you all :A
You have helped make up my mind. It isn't a crazy idea after all.
I will be paid in 2 weeks and if the holiday is still available I will book it. If I had a credit card I would have booked it today. Then again if I had a credit card my debt would not be the lowest it has been in in 6 years.
I hope my courage doesn't fail me while I wait to be paid...
Have a good week everyone

Strawberries 3.00 to 1.10

Also got 2 beautiful mugs reduced from £12 to £3. They wrapped them in tissue paper and gave me 2 gift bags that have ribbons and are beautiful. These will be nice presents for colleagues at Christmas
Confession? The shop where I got the mugs is where I went back for the duvet cover as there were only 3 left and I knew I would regret it if they were gone. SUPER EXPENSIVE I know…
I seem to be in a spending, wanting touches of luxury mood when I need to be in a cleaning mood.
INOD, Have you ring fenced today for mass cleaning?You seem to be making good progress, as are you Parsniphead
I have a full coffee card (so free) so going to make time to use it today with a book
The plan is to get my gym kit today too as I’ve been talking about this and getting nowhere FOREVER
Happy Monday everyone.If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
