You can't take it with you...

Gosh, I've been a busy little bee lately! During the past week I have -

a. Booked a cottage in the Lake District for a week's holiday in July, for the OH, myself and Izzy.
b. Booked a place on my first ever Pros location tour, booked my hotel for the weekend and arranged a lift down to Watford and back (thanks linnhie!).
c. Sent in my registration for WINK and booked coach tickets to Milton Keynes and back.
d. Booked a holiday cottage in Exmoor for four days in June.
e. Booked a hotel in London for four days following on from the Exmoor trip.
f. Bought theatre tickets for War Horse for myself and my two daughters.

Phew! And this was the year that we were going to tighten our purse strings, having had a bit of a splurge during the whole of 2013.

The thing is, when six of your friends have been diagnosed with cancer during the previous eighteen months and two more friends have been diagnosed with other life-threatening illnesses - not to mention the shock of losing Lewis at a relatively early age - you tend to think 'what the hell'.

I'll let you know if I'm still thinking that when the credit card bills start rolling in... *g*

Your plans sound wonderful. I'm very sorry to hear you have quite a few friends with major health concerns right now - it's true, you never know how much future any of us have to plan for. Hope you and yours have a damn good time executing said plans! (and don't forget to shout out if there's a chance of a quick London meet-up!)

Thank you, m'dear!

And oh dear... complications with the London leg of the journey unfortunately. Not sure whether we will be visiting the Smoke after all now, but I'll certainly be in touch if there's any chance of a meet-up!
