    TM, another option that I am thinking of trying this year (although a little more expensie) is Eurostar to Brugge. You should be easily be able to get return from Durham to Brugge for about £160 each.

    This has reminder me about the carnage that is going on in OHs wardrobe regarding shirts - I did make him empty the wardrobe out altogether once, some shirts culled and then I put everything back organised by strict rotation - short and long sleeves, by colour, formal and casual. Needless to say it never stayed that way, he just rams thing sin any old how and only after severe nagging. At least though the door is shut on it and no one except him ever has to see the messiness in his shirt wardrobe.

    I did the same with my tops - emptied the wardrobe, culled a few too long in the tooth, anything that was too summery or suitable for cruises was folded up separately awaiting the sun, sleeveless, short, long sleeved and all in colour order - it takes seconds to find anything and seconds to put clean washing away and its stayed in perfect order now for over a year - it will never need to be re done ...

    I collected my Thorntons chocolates in Chester today as well:) Got the bus (not been on a bus for 15 years) into Chester with a friend as she wanted to go to the bank (it was closed!) and walked the 8 miles back home along the cycle way. Tried for the crisps in WH only to find it was for travel ones only.

    We were in Chester very early and it was very quiet.
    In Thorntons we were only allowed to choose anything from the top 2 rows - a bit odd as when we got them earlier in the week we could choose any of the £3 bags.

    I think the last bus I used was the York park and ride one. I would quite like to have a bus pass but we are too far from the border so it will be about 10 years before I get issued with one :mad: Mind you I don't think we even have a bus now that does our route - I'd have to do about 15 mins walk to get to the nearest bus stop to go anywhere
    We walk from the station along the canal path now and come up by Tesco at the bottom of Frodsham Street. We didn't realise that Frodsham street is being relaid - not even sure now where the rail bus drops off

    Also something seems to have been built on Goosetack car park but not sure exactly what ...

    A query please for an ebay expert.

    Does anyone know how to do a combined postage discount on ebay?

    I seemed to think you could alter the postage on the bottom line of an invoice but so many things have changed on ebay I don't know for sure. And its years since I've sold 2 things together.

    Not for me - looking at the list I don't think I will sell anything this week at all ...

    Yes shopping was a bit of a battle :rotfl::rotfl:, I was trying to show her that they could all eat the same ingredients and not have the same meals for example chicken kiev for the adults and chicken nuggets for the children and that using a base recipe you can make so many different meals, she was convinced she had to buy childrens food and adult food, no such thing in my book:rotfl::rotfl:

    I am still trying to convince myself to give up smoking again, talking of battle of wills I have one with myself :rotfl::rotfl:
    You will do it when the time is right;)
