What about
H. Don't really like holidays0 -
We always save up for our holidays... I would hate the thought of knowing that I would have to spend the next year paying a credit card or loan bill when I get back .. would totally destroy the holiday. It is much ore relaxing to lie back and enjoy spending money you know you have rather than worrying about paying it back.

well, I save all the time, so the money happened to be available. We are going to Barcelona in September and planned to spend in total 280 pounds each."Don't cry, Don't Raise your Eye

I have taken my family to Brittainy twice, Skiing in the Alps once and Fuerteventura once. We will be going to Fuerteventura again in October this year and we are just about to book next years holiday, but I fund my holidays by none of the options shown above.
All my family holidays are kindly paid for by Tesco's. We dont save, we selectivley spend. Which is much more fun.To anyone that tells you "There is no I in team" say no there isn't
But there ARE TWO I'S IN COMMISSION and I dont get paid "Team"
