Holiday holiday!!



Well only 3 more sleeps and I am away to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt for my holidays, packing is almost done (I know its early but like to be prepared) scared I have gone over the weight limit as my scales need a battery so will have to see if neighbour has some I can use. How to airlines think us women manage on 20kgs!!!

Anyway I thought I would just pop in and post before I go, so I wish you all well and ((((hugs)))) to all who need or want one

Ta ra for now

I just had to open it!

Well I decided to open my sealed tin, I was trying to save a £1 a day since January 1st for Christams but I have managed to get most of my pressies already as I am doing hampers this year for everyone and have bought bits and pieces every week
I opened the tin to go towards my holiday fund
I have missed a few days but it till totalled £163
I am thrilled that I have managed a way to save money at long last as I have never been very good at it!!
So there you go with saving all my £2 coins and doing a £1 a day I have managed to pay for a holiday in 6 months

Saving money


At the start of the year I decided to save all my £2 coins and not spend a single one. Last night I counted them as I decided I would put them in the bank to pay towards my holiday. Well I was pretty shocked they added up to £346!


I also try to save a £1 a day in a sealed tin I forget somedays but now I am tempted to open that too but it was meant to be for Christmas.................should I open it or keep it sealed??

Sharm........Here I come again!


I have just booked my second trip this year to Sharm in Egypt, I went in April and had an amazing time so I'm heading back on 11th July. Its going to be so hot I don't even know if I will cope with the heat but I want to have a week away before the schools break up and prices follow.

I am so looking forward to it now and will be counting down the days!
