Fifi, those plans sound like a great use for your spare savings.
I hope you'll have a wonderful time.
I'm on edge this week because the gas pipes in our area are being replaced. The one up to our gas meter is due to be done some time this week, they said they will give us 2 days notice. I'm worried because we have a printed concrete driveway but its not just concrete, its reinforced with fibres and there's a metal grid embedded in it to strengthen it. They need to dig a hole in it just below the meter ( which is on an outside wall ). If they only need to dig a single hole it won't be too bad ( the information leaflet said it will be repaired by specialists ) but if things don't go to plan they'll have to dig a trench all along the driveway. Hubby says it'll be OK but I can't help worrying and its making my acid reflux problems worse.

Easy to say but .... try not to worry!
About 5 years ago the water feeds were being replaced to all the homes hereabouts and because the local Council and the Water company had both lost the Plans for the original pipework the company were having to dig numerous test pits to track where they were at. They dug a BIG pit on our hard-standing (block paved) about 4 feet deep and I was convinced it'd sink after reinstatement and look awful and be a problem, and we'd have to have a big fight with the authorities to get satisfaction.
My fears were unfounded - they relaid it perfectly and it's not sunk a fraction. So deep breath and remember it's not worth worrying about until it happens - if it ever does
