    My hubby put a days holiday in and we went to the Chinese Buffet in the Metro centre:o

    I've just been there - but didn't see you.

    It was somewhat quiet, and I got to park rather near the doors. Times are not good...

    It was nice but I havent felt very well today so I was sort of dragging my heels around the place. We have just seem off Mikes family who have been here since Saturday and now my Dad and the girlfriend are coming to stay tomorrow till Monday as its my Grans 75th birthday party.

    I just want to sleep, not entertain:o

    Just over 2 hours on the train, about 2 and a half hours in the car. I could drive there and back in one day but I didnt have a drink in Leeds and felt a bit out of it, although I could have gotten drunk from the alcohol fumes eminating from Zed from the night before:rotfl:

    I am getting the train there and coming back the same day.

    Well actually my work is only about 30 minutes away. It'll take Lou significantly longer to get there. I went to get my Mum a birthday present from the Body Shop. Hopefully she'll like it.
