Well Ben's took the plunge and handed in his notice today !! One down and me to go, although I don't have to do mine til the end of June. He said it went well, I thought it would as he's not leaving to go to another job ..... he's just leaving the country for a year ! Blimey, sounds strange. I just want to be able to tell everyone and not have to worry about it but it's still a long way off ...... 102 sleeps ...... and counting. He's leaving date is 21st August, think I'll finish the week before but work more hours at the Call Centre for the last week.

We bought our home for 8 months !!!! It's the tent we've been looking at on the internet and it's a mansion compared to our other ones. It's great perfect for what we want. There's room for everything, can't wait to try it out. We bought it in a camping shop in Keswick, got some spare poles scopped in too which was good. We put it up in the garden as soon as we got back and we're so happy with it. Woo hoo !!!!!!

We've just paid for our travel insurance so thats another thing crossed off. Next thing is to pay for the Disneyworld tickets so thats next pay day. Been working loads and getting paid loads, not working many evenings now cos by the time they take off the tax I've nowt left. Only working weekends which means I don't get much time chilling with my hubby .... it'll all be worth it though.

Think Bens sold his scooter too which is good news, advertised it and someone rang pretty much straight away. He's zipping about on his Vespa, he wasn't that happy on our wedding day ! Hopefully get my scooter mot'd next month and then I can sell it july time. It'll be sad to see it go but I need the money, hopefully get another when we get back.

Well that's it for now, times just standing still, hopefully next blog I'll have won the £100,000.00 off GMTV. I've entered every member of my family in it 3 times so I'd better bloody win. Just hope the family is honest and lets me know !! Just a couple of £1000 would do .... we'll see !
