    Oooohhhh exciting times.

    I think you are completely right to go. You sound as though you have weighed up how to pay for it and taken the necessary first steps.

    The last couple of months have been tough for you health-wise so lets hope the tests reveal nothing serious and you can go away with a happy heart.

    Are you feeling better at all? I know you are back to work but will you be OK?

    take care honey

    I only noticed as I was checking to see if something of mine had cleared (it hadn't) and it was a trending cashback. We went (with BA on an excellent offer) about 16 years ago, so deeply envious. Pre-children and pre-mortgage though.

    Glad you have done another diary. Your holiday sounds wonderful and you seem to have a plan to pay for it. Your budget looks tight so if you don't use Sky I would cancel. That is an extra £27 to oil the wheels a bit.
