SKI-er or Sk-ater. We know how to enjoy ourselves

Thanks all, I have started a new thread. Please join in as I believe it is a very important topic

We are considering funeral plans too. I presume it puts the money out of the clutches of our LA in case we need to go into care? (not that that is a thought right now!)

We are enjoying our retirement, and giving away our annual exemptions to our 2 children while we are still in good health, I have posted on your excellent thread kittie.

We were away 3 months (in our caravan) April/May/June, home to look after the house/garden in July and August, and away up north in Scotland in September. Now we are home over winter, booked to go off again for another 3 months starting 25th March.

The plan is to head to Italy for 6/8 weeks, take in Austria on the way back if we only spend 6 weeks in Italy, Then 2/3 weeks in England on the way home.

It's all go here. Have just booked a 3-night weekend getaway for our 10th wedding anniversary on 14th January 2012. https://www.tythehousebandb.co.uk

Then, Mark the tree man arrived. He and his mate are busy demolishing the overgrowth in the back garden. Neighbours' Leylandii, a curse. We'll have some daylight by the time they've finished!

It all costs money, but so what. Needs doing. And our anniversary - we're unlikely to get to 'silver' or any of those, so we celebrate when we can.

Good for you, MC. Enjoy your break.

Spending Kash And Thoroughly Enjoying Results. The equivalent of Skiing for the childless.

Thanks for that. Been puzzling me for ages.

Hasn't this thread been quiet lately!

Are we all staying put?

Not me - just trashed lots of cash so I can stay as often as I like on the North Yorks coast, going to Sheffield Meadowhall (hell) next week to trash some more cash in M&S, Lakeland and anywhere else that takes my fancy. Will be going to Waitrose at the end of the month to trash loads of cash for Christmas.
That do ya ?

Just booked our 15 day Caribbean January Cruise - that'll take care of another £4-£5k's worth of enjoyment for us! :beer:
