Oh goodness, I just realised what I wrote, I didn't mean how did you afford it - sorry of I offended. I was thinking more that you just booked a trip for next year, how did you manage to convince DH that this year was a good idea too!?
Well done with all your saving, working and giving up smoking, you're both really motivated

You have had a horrible year, you all really deserve it
What are the details? Did you get free dining again?
