    Sounds like you have had a lovely day............although are you sure you werent just watching a Disney Film...sounds like a Mary Poppin's day off:rotfl:

    It does a little bit :rotfl:There was even singing - one little girl sitting watching the ducks treated us to about 15 verses of "Five Little Ducks Went Swimming One Day" :D
    Squizz........do you fancy a "eat no crap for a fortnight" buddy:j I will do so much better if I have someone else to do it with.:D I go on the 26th so its exactly two weeks gone yesterday.

    Sounds good to me! I go on the night of 24th/ early morning of 25th so almost the same time. I have been slightly inspired by an article in the latest Sainsburys magazine which reckons you can lose 4-5lbs in a week - before going on holiday - just by cutting out unnecessary junk and cutting down on salt (stops water retention).. god knows I need to eat less salt anyway, I have ridiculous amounts of it.

    Where are you off to?

    Florida........we have saved and saved since being debt free and decided to just go for it:j .........got a good deal still though and we are sharing with 2 other families to keep the cost down.

    Why do I feel the need to justify myself whenever someone asks me where I am going:o :confused:

    Bit of a European tour - only the first part is 'beachy' on coast of Italy (feel under pressure next to my mate's skinny glamorous friends :rolleyes:), then a couple of days in Milan, a couple in Switzerland, a quick trip to Prague and the last few days in Poland!
