I’ll tow it back on the plane 😁RelievedSheff said:Bring some sunshine back with you.
I had a lovely day, visited a very pretty cathedral. Had a lovely mushroom risotto, followed by a mooch around the city.
Back in Avila now and about to have a long soak in the bath.
i hope everyone else has had a lovely weekend too.MBNA 430/14000

Very debt now stands at £36.45 and I have enough pending from Vinted to pay it off. It will be paid and closed on the 1st of February at the latest 😁
I’ll also be able to pay £22 off the Nationwide CC.Carboot sales start again in February, so I may do one if I can face the cold. That usually generated around £50. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if I could pay off the Nationwide CC by the end of February?!
I’m on my way to Madrid airport now. I’ll calculate the holiday cost once I’m home.MBNA 430/14000

Well done. You've really committed to clearing this one and I bet it will feel great to tick it off.
Can I also say how much I respect the way you respond to posts, you are always thoughtful and reply with humour and good grace.

Total cost for the long weekend in Spain was £438. That includes, flights, hotels, internal transport, meals and tips, entry to the Cathedral in Salamanca, entry to Avila walls, and all souvenirs.I’m happy with that 😁
Other than visits to my Dad, the next trip abroad is a biggie, 12 days in India. Saving for that starts tomorrow.MBNA 430/14000

You forgot to bring back the sunshine
Sounds like you had a great time in Spain.
When is your trip to India. I'm looking forward to hearing about that one. Especially the food.1
