Following our blow out all inclusive holiday in March in Turkey, which was so excellent, Mal and I decided that we can not afford to do this twice a year as the pounds (weight!) just pile on us. So, we made the decision to go back to the UK in October but stopping off for a few days in Istanbul. We booked flights online with Pegasus to Istanbul (£43.38 for the two of us). We decided what date to travel on to the UK and thought we would spend a week touring around the country. It just so happens (Courtesy of Martin’s money saving tips!) that Travelodge have a £9 sale today, starting at 6.00am UK time. Consequently we took Rosie out early and were sat at our laptops ready for the release of the £9 rooms! Excellent, we managed to book 6 nights, all at £9 each. For that money if we change our minds on the way, it won’t matter! Oh, I do love a bargain!
The photo is of our little Josie at 15 weeks..gorgeous and we can’t wait to see her again. The other one is Josie with two of her brothers.
