Time to Face The Music

We actually prefer the CamperContact app for picking aires.  There's a far bigger range of them than there is in the (misnamed) All the Aires!  We started off with All the Aires when we first went to France, mainly because it's in English and our French wasn't too good but that's improved over the years of visiting!

When are you going over to France?  Tunnel or Ferry?  We've booked a couple of trips for this year - June and September; June we're going out by Tunnel and coming back Brittany Ferries Caen to Portsmouth.  September both ways by Tunnel.

We have the Camper Contact App but prefer to have a book to hand as well.

Not decided exactly when we are going yet. We usually have our two week trip the last week of September first week of October but we might switch it round and have it earlier in the year instead.

We will be going by the Tunnel both ways. It's easier with the dog and will be less stressful for him. Getting pet cabins on ferries seems to be nigh in impossible!

Not a no spends day today. We had to pick up a few bits from the shop this morning and I foolishly forgot to get the bread out of the freezer for our packed lunches so we have both ended up with a supermarket meal deal for lunch today. Not making that mistake again in a hurry!

Breakfast and dinner are from stores though. Breakfast was crumpets and dinner later is a mixed seafood thai curry with noodles and spring rolls.

Today's jobs are:

• cleaning the bathrooms
• load of washing
• walking the dog

There's also a book to go with the app but it's got a different name!  Weird or what!  When I go out to the van later today I'll check what it's called for you.  We usually use the book first and then use the app to get the extra info and reviews.

I keep a tin of soup in my desk drawer at work so I always have something for my lunch if for whatever reasons our usual filled rolls don't work out. 

Exciting planning for your future trips there too!

How exciting to plan your trip to France. It's always good to have something in the pipeline to look forward to.

We went to France, a few years back now, on a boating holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it. So we are looking forward to going in the van and seeing more of the country.

Enjoy France; I imagine the planning is probably almost as fun as the trip. 

You’re doing brilliantly with the finances too mate, absolutely smashing it.

It will be a no spends day today. Number 8 of February.

Breakfast and lunch will be from stores. Breakfast was toast and we have both taken our packed lunches to work. We are using the last of our pub tokens tonight and heading to the pub for burgers and a couple of pints.

Not doing any jobs around the house when we get home and dog will have a walk walking up to the pub and back.

Not a no spends day after all. 

I had a parcel to drop off at the Post Office this lunchtime, that was free as a BT returns but I needed a receipt. Whilst I was out I decided to fill the car up before fuel prices rise again. It only needed took half a tank but even so that was £40 and that is before fuel goes up again.
