I'm going to Canada! Middle of June, me and my Mum going over to visit friends for 12 nights.
Booked the flights and car hire yesterday, could have done without that financially but you know what I deserve a holiday and need something to look forward to so I'm going.
Been having a wee look to see where we can go when we are over there, the people we are visiting are Scottish so gonna go see some Highland Games - eeeek!
Can drive to one in the first week we are there in an hour, so excited!!
Will plan much more in the next few weeks.

Debt totals updated, time to put a plan in place to get this paid off.
I have most of it on 0% until March 2019, some of it until May 2019.
Will aim to have it all gone by then.
Balance is made up of;
* 3 year service plan
* MOT costs
* Car repairs
* Car finance PIF
* Holiday
Some of the holiday cost is owed to me by my Mum.
Also going to change the way I make my payments due to being on my own now and having to be more savvy with the funds.
Will keep all the money in my bank account, spend as little as possible throughout the month then the remaining will use to pay towards the one CC at the end of each month.

Thanks my lovelies.
Back to work this morning after another busy weekend.
Friday I had Sky in to fit my multi room but they couldn't install it as the communal box hasn't been updated.
Got an Amazon Firestick instead which works like a dream and never cost me a penny cos I used my survey points :T
Rest of Friday and Saturday me and Mum had a massive clear out with 3 trips to the charity shop over the weekend plus some stuff sent over to my brothers house.
Yesterday we went out for dinner and cocktails for my belated birthday, couldn't go earlier this month thanks to the beast from the east :rotfl:
Had a great wee night then home to bed for about 10:30ish so I'm as fresh as a daisy this morning.
Also need to get back to my Cambridge diet, not been weighed all this month and I am dreading it so see how much I have gained back, back on my shakes this morning!
