    Just noticed with us reaching Rudolph day no.4 for 2023 we are officially a third of the way through the year now. Just 8 months to go!! & in reality just a little over 6 to the start of the build up!!

    So 200 days to the big day, and tomorrow we're into the 100's... that seemed to come around reasonably quickly.

    Its a great addition & perfectly timed.

    Mad how we're yet to reach half way into the year and we only have 2 more bank holidays before Christmas (August & October) 😲

    Looooove that new BH! It's the light at the end of the tunnel that is January.

    So, in the first 6 months of the year we now have 5 bank holidays and the second 6, we have 2? (not counting christmas/new year) We need another holiday... maybe September? 😁

    Day 199, another milestone reached in our little world.

    We won the quiz last, prize was 12 free drinks the next time we do the quiz 😅

    Considering pints were €6.20 in the pub last night so from a monetary point of view it's nothing to be sniffed at.

    Always felt with quizzes it wasnt about the prizes, its the satisfaction of winning! So well done!

    Managed to convince Mr. CL that we should extend our holiday in France next week! Realised that we were only going to end up with 6 actual holiday days which would be grand, except the ferries are so long that it felt like a short amount of time compared to the travel time. Plus we've had a bit of a tough time of late & I knew I wouldn't have been ready to come home after so short a time so managed to get another few days out of him! Will make sure to plan it better next year though!

    Having a browse through old threads over lunch & saw this one had slipped off the radar. It had been started back in 2015 & ran up to June of last year so would be a shame to let it die off...

    So any reasons to be cheerful at the moment? Anything to look forward to in 2024?

    This day 2 weeks is February in fact!

    Looking forward to that bank holiday weekend too.

    We're heading out on Saturday also, this weekend is my two kids birthday (cant believe I'll have 2 teenagers in the house) and we asked them what they'd like to do, both agreed that they'd like to go out for dinner, so we're heading out early for pre dinner drinks (mocktails for the kids) and then across the road to our favourite Thai restaurant for dinner. Looking forward to that also!

    Had been slowly building the young lad up with a view to getting him hardy, got to the stage he was on the whiskey, but the hangovers were killing him for school so he's on the wagon now.

    His choice!

    There was actually a little bit of brightness seeping in when I left my house this morning. 😁

    Noticed it yesterday myself as I wasn't leaving the house at 6.20am for a change. Definitely starting to see a little more light in the evenings too.

    Have my first summer holiday planned this year since 2019. Saving for a house and covid put them on the long finger.

    Moved into my first home Dec 22nd and got a new job starting early February.

    Lots to be cheerful for on my end!

    Congrats, Andrew :) that's an exciting time. Sometimes you just have to make the changes. I'm hoping to have my own home for the first time ever by the summer/autumn at latest. Late 30s here so it's a long time coming. That's my big thing for this year. I had hoped to replace my 16 year old car this year but something (my bank account) tells me we're gonna have to stick together for another year or two given the expense of the house ;-)

    Other than that I booked 2 nights in Waterford in December for Winterval. No summer hols booked but I usually do a few day trips to Tramore and looking forward to those long summer days on the beach.
