Ah well - you needed a large suitcase so at least it was a proper 'need.' You'll get good wear out of it. And think of it as part of the holiday spends as it'll be going to Oz with you!:DFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

The thing for me is it was bought from real money and not on a credit card. I have no suitcases as they were got rid of last year. This is lightweight, four wheel and should last a while (I hope) .This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0

.....I found spending 'real' money such a great feeling after years of credit card debt. :jFinally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
