    Kaz, I do hope your headache has gone, and thank you :)
    Juliejim Well Done!!! I have one of those bogof tickets somewhere for Altons towers if you need it I can pop it in the post for you, let me know via PM (if it's after 9.30am tomorrow I'll have to post it on Friday when I get back.
    Mudbath they can be cheaper during the winter, but because now people look more over winter time, it's about the same......definately try private ads and out the back of motorhomes dealers (that's where I got mine for £3k less than they were elsewhere!) Mid winter buying can be better in another way, if you buy just after there has been a lot of rain, you'll see if they leak!! (Few we went to look at were leaking when we were looking round in the rain) If only we lived closer you could probably share ours, can't use it weekends most of the time as DP works weekends so apart from 4 a year, or until I find some bravery, it'll be sat at the storage unit.
    Prettypennies astro turf, now that's more my idea of a lawn!!!

    Kaz - storage up here is £210 for the year, most I have seen is £300 locally, then there is sites where you can pay to keep it on the site year round, a 'seasonal pitch' where winter time it can be stored.....loads of options where to dump them really.

    :D Not only has this week only cost £44.80 (+dogs fee) staying at a Haven site (last minute deals) I've managed to get 5% cashback tracked on quidco, hurrah!

    Been playing hokey cokey with the laundry then the lawn mower, just got the front cut when it pelted down again, so I got very wet clearing up (sat here soggy :o )

    Must dash more packing to do, food, loads in the fridge needs either taking or binning so may aswell take it, coats, waterproofs, erm, kids chairs :D forgot them last time :o erm, where is my list? Oh yes, booking form......mustn't forget that. Toodles xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    DD's bedroom is finished!!! Everything has been put away, cleaned and hoovered. 1 bag each of cardboard recycling, paper recycling, rubbish and charity shop - that's besides the bags I got rid of last weekend.

    I think I deserve a sit down now - do I get a dog biscuit pigpen?
