    Have a fantastic holiday. You deserve it.

    That debt free day will be here before you know it :)

    I think 2022 will also go down as the year that something clicked for us financially and we started making proper inroads not only into paying down our debt but also in establishing a savings habit that will hopefully now last a lifetime.

    Here's hoping that 2023 is just as good a year, if not better.

    Have a fantastic holiday! Eeek one more sleep to go!!!!

    Great job on the phone switch, I'm with EE but so far I haven't had any problems, I've always purchased my phone separately, albeit on 0% credit. My EE contract ends in November and then I'll be switching to a cheaper tariff for sure, and I will never buy another handset on credit again!!!!x

    Have a great holiday! Yes I'm jealous 😂, but you more than deserve a break. What happens to your dog when you go away? I really want a kitten, but also to be able to travel so I don't know what happens to pets.

    He goes to stay with my sister and her husband and has his own little holiday. We also have some really good boarding kennels around here which we used for our previous dog when the sitter wasn't available.  There are lots of sitters who will just take your pet into their home so they don't get distressed whilst you're away.

    I didn’t realise that pet sitters was a thing. But that makes me feel a lot better. Bless him with his own holiday, he must love being spoiled by your sister and her husband.

    Absolutely! He loves going for walks where there are 'new sniffs' and because he's so cute and loves cuddles he gets away with more than he should haha.

  • Morning guys! Early start for us today and we are now checked in at the airport.

    Definitely not a NSD today (duty free and all that) but I have sent £1 PAD to CC7. No holiday from PADing for me 😂

    Have a great Saturday peeps
