And with regards to the holiday...with the hours you say you're working - I think a holiday is definately in order!:T

As posted a little earlier I now have an O2 xda Ignito and have been having "fun" learning the new interface etc. A colleague saw the phone the day after I got it and then checked online but couldn't find it.

Seemed odd but he was right; in passing just had a look and it is back, but on the £35 tariff thatI have it is no longer free, but costs £100.... did someone mess up at O2? Anyway, looks like I "saved" £100 by opting to get it when I did!

Not often that I find I'm on the right side of such a deal so it is even sweeter :D:D:D

Do read here often, although I admit I should post here more often too...

Remember, everything is purchased on the card so it remains in current a/c offsetting before being paid in full.

Ha, while I don't offset as such in the strictest sense, we do pay for as much as we can on the credit card and pay off in full when the bill is due. I've just checked MS Money and the lowest value credit card transaction I have logged is for 1.49 :rotfl:

Still not yet booked holiday; do we, don't we?

I'm 40 in 2010. I'd love a long weekend break in New York to celebrate, but I know where you're coming from.

Throw caution to the wind and book it, or wait (quite) a handful of months and wait until 2012 when we're (theoretically) mortgage free and continue partying...

Bit too many bracketed words in that last sentence. Read it quickly and you hardly notice they're there

Financial Bliss.

I think everyone should have at least 1 Holiday per year, Get yourself booked up. We booked ours in September (mind you its only an apartment near the beach in the UK - taking the dogs with us). In the past we have found that the early booking discounts can be better than the last minute ones (unless your prepared to travel same day).

fortunatly i have a relative who lives in a beautiful part of the country and another who lives abroad....makes holidays a very cheap affair...:D

the last 'paid for' holiday was the first one we had had in almost 10 years...it cost an absolute fortune but was worth every penny....just have to wait until my mf date before i can think about doing that again!!

go for the holiday stuart....you work hard and deserve a break!!:D

Thanks all for the comments on the holiday booking; was about to push to book it then £1 dropped to US$1.52... good for me at work as we do a lot of business with the US, but not good in terms of the cost of holiday elsewhere.

I'll chat with OH later today and "make a decision" :rolleyes:
