    Glad you're feeling a bit better Lucky.

    I know you're worried about the holiday and spending but try and take some time to yourself. As long as you can be fed and have a bed then you will have a lovely time. My mum always said to us growing up we'd be skint at home so might as well be skint somewhere nice ;)

    I'm sure you'll all have an amazing time

    Lucky, you only live once, you know you will figure out the spends for the holiday, you manage it all really well - I know you don't believe it but you do.
    so hang on there. It will be ok

    Also Benbenandme has some links in her diary about surveys and stuff - might be some there you don't have?

    Take care XXX

    Thanks Buffles, will check it out.

    Mum and her partner are at the Grand National. I asked them to put a fiver on for me and they picked the winner :j:j. I think that means I’m £50 up :T:T.

    Still hate the race though :( Xx

    Can’t believe it’s been almost a week since I posted :eek:.

    DH’s mate has had a few operations already, with more on the way but he’s actually been very lucky and will eventually recover with (hopefully) no major lasting damage.

    Boys went back to school on Monday, much to their disgust, and the week has been a blur of school runs, swimming, karate, D&D club, hospital visits, gardening, washing and ironing! So not very exciting!!

    Mr L has overall been ok, but has been quite selfish in wanting to do what HE wants to do, so he isn’t really in my good books at the minute.

    But there’s only 16 days til Florida :j:j Xx

    How awful re DH's friend :( Pleased he'll recover though. Bikes are so dangerous, I know a few who've lost their lives young due to bike crashes.

    Not long until Florida :)
