Hubbie and I haven't had a holiday, not a week long one, in all the years we've been together. Having priced up an out of season, non-school holiday, week long cottage rental on any one of the Scottish islands at between £1640 (camping pod) and £3970 (cottage) I don't think we are going to get one this year either.

Heb' Way is looking at £125 (average) per night so I am now seeing how small I can get my sleeping bag....

I got my insurance premiums for next year... I am flying without a parachute. My rates went from $250/month to $2100 a month. Sure I could get it, but i wouldn't have a paycheck, maybe $300 a month take home. Not even enough to keep the lights/heat on much less pay my mortgage or the deductible should I need the insurance. #fucktrump #insurance #aca #greed #healthcarecrisis #obamacare #eattherich #luigiwasjustified #pricedout
