    I'm currently looking at afternoon tea packages in very exclusive hotels near to them....£60 is the basic for 2 people and if I want to add a glass of champagne each,that takes it to £88!!!!!

    wondering if I can play around with the cheaper version and make a little bit of a hamper up to go with the vouchers that includes maybe a bottle of fizz and something.
    I looked at dinner packages and they start at £160 for two....shocking,nice no doubt but beyond my budget.

    This sounds good. I am trying to think now where I saw small baskets that were not too expensive - Homebase (use your nectar points), Home Bargains I think ...

    A couple of nice champagne glasses - we got ours from Home Bargain last year.

    £60 is an OMG amount but its equivalent to Grosvenor Chester which is £64 for 2 for the basic tea (and Blossoms round the corner is £25 for 2 on travel zoo:) )

    I saw the perfect thing last night - evening tours of Buckingham Palace with champagne to finish - but I thought you would pass out cold if I put the link up - £80 each :eek:

    do you know what...that might be possibility!

    Thank you snap...I'm just trying to think if I can perhaps get hold of a new picture of their grandaughter via my neice or whether I've actually got any here that might be suitable images.

    Got to say I've no idea if they are jigsaw minded...but surely if it's a pic of grandchildren it makes it interesting.
