They have even gone so far as to have a go at me for not having his dinner ready when he gets home lol! I told them he lives with his girlfriend not his mother, went down a treat:rotfl:

:rotfl: :rotfl: your brave!! Luckily i get on really well with OHs mum, she knows i have been a good influence for him :A he used to go out drinking every weekend getting into fights (make him sound like a right thug lol) but since i have been with him he has changed = mother that loves me

I do always complain to her however that she wrapped him in cotton wool and did too much from him making him lazy :rotfl: she even offers to do his washing when she visits us!

That sounds like a good deal Cinny, when are you going to Kent? Is that for the room for 2 nights or per person for 2 nights? Ohhh, everyone's going away and booking up... I hate not having anything planned!! Going to corner OH about Paris tonight. We want to go on the Eurostar, and you can get some good package deals from Travel agents up here, but I quite want to book my own hotel so I can choose whereabouts it is. But with us being from the Frozen North, although you can get good Eurostar deals, we'll have to fork out for the train to London on top... Sorry, that was a bit garbled!

Hey Tete

When are you off to Paris? OH and I are going 1 - 3 April. We booked this hotel - http://www.hotelsunny.com/
Looks a bit psychedelic(!) but I am skint and love the area around Mouffetard. I wish we had booked the hotel through Eurostar too as it seems to be cheaper.

Well we're hoping around the end of May, beginning of June. To be honest I feel a bit of a fraud, I lived in France for a year but only made it to Paris for a morning, quickly saw the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe and that was it! I don't really know anything about the best areas to stay, I fance Montmartre but imagine it can be expensive... You sound like you know what you're talking about though - have you got any tips?? That hotel looks grand by the way, you can't beat a family run business!

And just noticed the computer fund in your sig - bon chance pour ca!

The second weekend in July. That's for both of us for the 2 nights. Pretty good deal! Admittedly it's a travelodge but a newly built one so it's all good.

When my parents went to Paris on eurostar, sadly and surprisingly they let me pick the hotel. They ended up staying in a hotel that was over looking the metro in Amelie (where she drops the blind guy off) with Astro Turf of the stairs and lilac painted windows Much more fun to book the hotel yourself, me thinks!

Tete_en_l'Air

Hehe, Yes I'm really fancying the Amelie area I have to say, happily whiling away the rest of the afternoon here looking up hotels!

Less than £15 each per night is fantastic, I don't care if it's a travelodge, they're grand! I've stayed in worse and more expensive places! Well done!

MIL is outrageous, pointedly asked me if I ironed his work shirts for him, erm no I barely iron my own clothes, I'm not going to waste my life on someone else's. She went 'oh what do you do for him?' :rotfl: They are lucky I even speak to them, my dad was furious.

Totally off-topic. I think the name Amelie is fab! I love all the French names for girls!

Ps Thanks for that website Cinny, I'd not seen that one before. Check out PistolWhipVintage when they've got it back up & running

:rotfl: snap. We just had OHs parents to stay for the weekend and i ironed 4 shirts for him for the weekend and told him he couldnt wear anything else!! Shes always telling him he looks scruffy. Oh well it doesnt bother him that much or i am sure he would iron them himself:rotfl:
We dont even have an ironing board!! On the rare occasions i iron anything its done on the kitchen table!!:D
