    and I've been ever so good and remembered to go there all the time for my petrol at the minute while he's giving me double clubcard points for it!;)

    I asked DS what he fancied doing during the summer hols this year - was there anything he'd never done that he fancied trying (but to bear in mind there wasn't a endless supply of money) eg. horse riding, go karting... his reply - can we go to australia? when I said no :rotfl: his alternative was the farm park... :rolleyes: not much difference and I'm sure we have actually been there before...

    Sounds like a Haven holiday to me:rotfl: Dairyland in Cornwall ..hmm i reckon that is a scam to get all the tourists to pay for the locals to have the cows milked:rotfl: It is not a bad place really, but wouldn't go again.:o Having been once when boblets were at an impressionable age::cool:

    I've been on a Haven holiday once Bob and never again - hated it! I would rather book a wee cottage somewhere quiet away from crowds tbh.

    Farm parks do make me laugh with the 50p for a bag of food idea to feed their animals when you've already paid to get in! obviously on the odd occasion we've been we did it though!

    How much more fun do you need?

    Is this balancing bank stuff?
