Back!

Wow, it's been absolutely ages since I wrote anything here! But I have been quite busy with bits and bobs. But now I seem to have settled down into a more relaxed routine, hence I think I am finding time to write here again.

I had 17 days in Gran Canaria over Christmas, it was lovely and the weather was really nice, it felt like summer here the whole time. It was very expensive though, the exchange rate was rubbish 1 euro to 1 pound! So I ended up spending loads of money and also of worrying all the time of how much money I was spending. The holiday was good though because it taught me that more is in fact less when it comes to the amount of time you are away. I'd always thought that the longer I could possible stay in Gran Canaria was the best thing to do, but after 17 days there I don't feel the same. I think the ideal now will be no more than 1 week away, but have more spending money. At the end of the 17 days I just couldn't wait to get home.

It's been about 5 weeks since I came back and I am now forbidding myself from even looking at flights until at least the end of March lol!
