THANK GOODNESS I’m finally back online.

One bright note in the whole moving-house-being-expensive thing: because I’ve changed my internet supplier, I’m saving nearly £20 a month on that. The connection speed is not what it should be, especially at peak times, but I’ll just have to get used to it I suppose.

I’ve mad a decision about taking littl’un to Cyprus next year: he’s not coming. I can’t just ignore his exclusion, and taking him anyway would totally invalidate the whole deal. I don’t want him getting the impression that he can just behave the same old way and still get special trips and treats. I’m going to plan to go the following year (2010) on the condition that he’s behaving himself properly then!

In the meantime, I’ve been chatting with my Sis and we’ve decided to go to Crete in September next year, with her husband. Yay! Although Crete is more expensive, I’ll only be paying my own way and not for littl’un as well, so it will actually work out more economical for me – but I’ve left my savings goal the same, as any extra cash will just be a bonus to spend while there. And if I come home with money, it will go off the credit card bill. I’ll be getting about £200 of overtime this month, so with my testing pay, I reckon it will have maxed out my holiday fund. Whoo! I can start saving for something else, LOL.
