Late Dealz


Does it annoy you when people replace '-s' with '-z'? It does me. Me and my partner booked our first real holiday on Sunday; by real I mean flying somewhere abroad. On the confirmation sheet the holiday is listed under "Late Dealz", why? Why not just "Late Deals"? It sounds and looks so much nicer, don't try and be hip and cool, you're a holiday for two twenty year olds (and being under £600 for 2 weeks!), you're already awesome.

We leave on Thursday! Yup, it really is a late deal, although our lovely travel agent did look at us leaving yesterday! Nowhere near enough time to pack and panic. At least I had yesterday, today and tomorrow to sort myself out. Not that I've had much to do, or had any means to sort out the things that need sorting, like I have no shorts; but that's not an issue, I can drive myself to town tomorrow after Mum gets in from work.

Of course being a student and not having had time to get a job yet, spending money is being strictly budgeted on a day-to-day basis while we're away so as we can eat and drink at the least! Although there really shouldn't be much else to spend money on; the island is tiny so we can walk to anywhere we want, and swim anywhere else around the island. The hotel has a large pool, it is also about 100m from the beach which stretches a good few miles from shingle to white sand. Ah, I can't wait. I've got about 10 bottles of sun lotion ranging from factor 50 to factor 10, just in case! Well, I'll be hogging the +30 SPF because of my silly pale complexion, making me burn like a tomato, but Chris will probably have a lovely olive tan with the factor 15.

Not much else to report, I'm in desperate need of a job as soon as I return, so please gimme one someone! Please?

I'll let you know how our holiday was, with plenty of photos no doubt.
