I'm sure your dad will be fine as you told him... You could always put in a call to make you feel better

We're going Austria. Seeing as it's really me and stepdad that wanted to go on this holiday we decided let mum choose which place she would like to go. From looking at the brochures and stuff though, I've also added Scandinavia to my places I need to visit at some point in my life xD Each part looks like such a lovely place and has its own appeal!”
Ahhhh how nice, I've never really looked at 'cold' places before (besides from general skiing of course

) Although i'd love to go to Finland or somewhere like that.

Haha, not sure I'll fit along with all your equipment!

I guess it's just the thought but it's really expensive overall

“You got much planned over the weekend? Or just enjoying the lie-ins till the parentals arrive with the early mornings. Do you have fb btw Javvy?”
Had a lie in today. Probably shopping later... I think today and tomorrow are relatively easy days... Not planned anything with friends until next week. Linking Park on Tuesday when the brother arrives straight off the plane xD
Yes I do, I'll pm you.

I dunno if I like the shopping at Christmas... It's more of what to buy people I don't like... And the fact I leave it all to the end so it feels like I've suddenly lost so much money at once...
