    Lucky you Linda!
    I thought KungFu Panda was pretty crap actually, was hoping for better.
    I would like to see that WALL-E.

    My hubby has just taken our DS to see Hancock this afternoon.

    I just can't see Will Smith doing 'The Blood Donor' though.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Grrrr, why is Center Parcs not on Quidco?

    I just emailed Quidco to suggest them.

    I'm glad that Avon is on, 15% back too!

    Just booked for Center Parcs Whinfell for 10th October!

    We love it there and at Sherwood, fab accommodation and I got a great deal too! New style woodland lodge for cheaper than an old comfort plus type!

    Last October my favourite part was swimming in a beautiful hot, steaming outdoor pool, all lit up when it was dark with the cool rain on my face, it was utter BLISS!

    We've never had a family holiday.

    Every year, around this time, I start looking for somewhere affordable but never find anywhere :rolleyes:

    Grrrrrrrr....rain stops play:mad:

    Federer is getting thrashed though so I hope he re-groups and comes back fighting, would love it to go the whole 5 sets and it will give me a bit longer to admire the perfect male which is Rafa;)

    Althought I have to say I wish he would buy a pair of underpants that fit him as he has spent the entire match pulling them out from between his bum cheeks:rotfl:

    Hangover has now in the I "need to eat a whole fridge full of food " stage:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    We should hire a huge lodge at Center Parcs for a MSE weekend!
    Divided by us all the cost would be pretty low!

    Example
    Comfort plus lodge for 8 people in May 2009, 3 night weekend (Sherwood Forest) is £839
    £839 between 8 adults is £104 each!

    For those who have met up through this forum and have kids, why not share a lodge to halve the cost, it's not like sharing a caravan, the lodges are pretty big and could accommodate 2 or even 3 families!
