Go to Portugal, when he's in work, get out, use your legs and enjoy having some time away from everything. Go walk around the local community, window shop, sit in a cafe and spend a couple of hours reading a book a drinking good coffee. Honestly, it sounds perfect to me that he's working as you get a proper break. It's amazing how good for the soul it can be to spend some time alone in a strange place. You'll have time with him in the evenings and the weekend and can have an absolute blast with him then.

You are being sensible about paying off your commitment, but it will never be as important as your friendship...so don't even think about it. Life is too short Drew....enjoy your friends here and now!
Fank wu......you always speak sense.....just doubt niggling my mind and I didn't know what to do and Lily didn't mind either way.

as long as lilly is cool about it mate and by the sound of it she so is, go and have an excewllent time with your mate, gets some nice sun on you and enjoy yourself.
You'll also come back happier and refreshed with loads of fun things to tell lilly about.

Now get booking those tickets!

Listen to your wife Drew.....she wants you to be happy and this will make you happy. Paying off a bill will be forgotten about in no time. There's no choice to be made and you know it.....we're going to beat you into submission if needed...lol.

Definitely go out there now while you can. The fact you've even thought about it means you really want/need to go, you'll only regret not having taken the opportunity while you had the chance

A good friend is worth that sort of money. Just do it!

Stay, as he's working and you'll be left alone twiddling your thumbs, spending more money than you should.
wait till the time when he's off and your off and get some fun on 2 wheels on some foreign roads. ( i take it he rides too..)

Pack a tent and take the bike on the ferry to Santander, have a great couple of days riding the back roads of Portugal and meet your mate when he finishes work.

The total cost might be a bit more than £200 but it would be a trip to remember.

Failing that, fly out and enjoy,

Keith.
