    I had a look Bob but there were no cheap flights even going tomorrow - boo! then again I suppose two returns to Paris or Dublin for around £100 maybe is a bargain...

    yet another confession - ate lots of bad stuff at mates but had to be polite, there wasn't an alternative option and it was bloomin yummy! still as someone said it's one meal out of twenty one over a week so not a total disaster.

    unfortunately DS is so rarely given junk food he was ridiculously polite (or greedy) and hoovered up most of the buffet!:o :o for most kids you'd look at his plate and say his eyes were bigger than his belly but no, he manages it all somehow.:o :rotfl:

    Have had enough of pigsback and ordered a piggy bank to use up my points. seem to be building up about 5 points a fortnight at the moment so I think it's had it's day, I got a few vouchers out of it so can't complain but seems a waste of time now.
