It's time to start digging up those Squirrelled Nuts!!!!

Well, we've spent the grand sum of £345 (of which £60 was Tesco vouchers!) on a 4 night self-catering break down in the West Country.

Hope to get over to the seaside too, for Fish & Chips and an Ice Cream.   Although on checking the tide times, we'll be lucky to actually see the sea at Weston-Super-Mare, as it's at its lowest over lunchtime!

Better get packing, we leave after lunch!   Road Trip!!

..enjoy your holiday, we have just spent similar on 4 nights self catering near Brecon canal which we are hoping to cycle. Seems like self catering is the way to go at the mo?

We were contemplating a motor home, but prices have gone really silly and I think all the good sites are going to get filled PDQ!

If prices are comparable to the East Coast then those fish and chips and ice cream will cost you £30 between you!

And.....

I'm supposed to be transforming myself into a Money Spending Expert.    We might even, shock horror, buy a takeaway coffee too!!!!

(and possibly a fridge magnet!)

If only I could have a fridge magnet. We have an integrated fridge so they just fall off. We have to put them on the back of the front door.

..it's sad but I actually ENJOYED buying a new battery for the car the other day!!..I even opted for the more expensive option....

we are going to the New Forest for the early May bank holiday - about time the camper van saw some activity. We do have to take our own toilet and toilet tent though which isn't my preferred option. All the campsites that have opted to open their loos are completely booked up.

Yes it's me. I have booked them up.

Probably a good choice as normally the cheaper batteries are not as good ,the more expensive ones usually come with a longer warranty so are really more MSE .

I stopped work in early March, eventually managed to work through the recruitment process for a part-time job, did 3.5 days work in April, and now the campsites have opened I'm on holiday for 9 days. 

I might grow to like this retirement malarkey -even though I'm struggling to adjust to the fact I no longer have an income!
