    I think we are going to Portugal or maybe Spain or Canary Islands. I'm not in charge of booking - I don't mind really. Just Nice to have a hol. Have to just do what I'm told anyway given that I'm not paying for it for a while!

    Spends

    Make up
    £29 -foundation, mascara, blusher

    Clothes
    For work- £28 on a jacket to smarten up a dress

    Need milk tomorrow. I feel i spend my entire life buying milk. Must have very healthy bones- And it's better than wine or vodka but so annoying how quickly it needs replacing.

    Hi PSL, good luck with the new diary.

    Made me smile just thinking about somewhere warm in the sun. I agree with your Dad, and also am a fan of the use the good stuff today, burn the nice candles, etc.

    Your holiday destinations sound great. Not too far away but warm. Good for you.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Too cold.

    When the snow clears I am going to resume couch to 5K but not right now.

    Not In work today.
    Cleaning flat.

    Then quiet weekend.
    Meeting friend tomorrow for lunch/coffee but he doesn't drink so I won't and at least should be low cost. Then home tomorrow pm.
    And family day Sunday. Which will make me want a drink but will see how I get on.
