I still have 10 days leave plus 1 day’s Privilege leave to use by end of August. I can roll this over until the next leave year which starts in September so that’s not a problem. Money wise it’s do-able and we need to make the most of these opportunities whilst we’re able to. Ibiza is my happy place ❤️PennysIntoPounds said:If you've got the money and can get the work leave then make the most of it m'dear.

It's good to hear Mr SA has had a better day today - and also that your can call the consultant should you feel it's needed. 12 years is very good news - I wonder if perhaps the tiredness could be residual brain damage, or perhaps fighting off an infection? Whichever way, a more normal day is good and it sounds as though your day has been as productive as ever.
Thank you - I will check the leftovers bit in our L1dl as they do quite often have oddments from previous weeks.Sun_Addict said:@Cherryfudge the garden pressure sprayer was last week’s middle aisle special but they had loads left yesterday. I’ve had a go with it today and can confirm it’s brilliant. Mr SA even cleaned his scooter with it. They’re just £19.99 so worth it if you can find one.
Potential Ibiza sounds lovely.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I very rarely post but have been a long time reader and I just have to say do it, as you know life is short and throws all sorts at you so if you can make it work then do it while you can. Xx2
