The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

Have you thought about jacket spudatos for work Tete? Can have usual sandwich stuff, just with a nice warm tato. Mmmmmm

Dentist says I need a filling. Not where I thought I would need it though!

Yeah, If I want a jacket spud I usually get one from downstairs, but we do have microwaves so I suppose I could bring them in without too much hassle...

Yikes about the filling, I hate them!

Hey Ladies

It's a lovely day down here have been (procrastinating) working hard this morning! Just got 1 more paper to read and then I am going to start filling in my uni application forms. I didn't hear anything from the Lancaster professor yet

Tete - I go to Paris with work every year to do a design show, but it's right out in Villepinte near the CDG airport. So I don't ever get to see too much of the city. But we do get some nice dinners out with other designers and press, so I know a couple of lovely restaurants I can PM you. We have usually stayed around Luxembourg Gardens which is my favourite anyway. Last year we stayed near the Sorbonne, near Mouffetard which was lively, with a lovely food market. But I am no expert.

You must have loads of languages, Tete? That's so cool.

Sorry to hear about the tooth Dinah

Has taken me 30 mins to realise you mean the filling to my tooth not the fillings in the potatos!

That did occur to me when I wrote it! No, I LOVE potato fillings! You girls must know I love my food by now

Just French and Spanish really Lara, though I do have a smattering of Japanese, Portuguese, German, Irish and can understand Italian... once you master one you can pretty much have a go at them all! Yes, restaurant suggestions would be great thank you very much!

Been having another go at the Eurostar site which seems to be working today. Put in Durham-Paris for mid-May which is the furthest in advance you can look for at the minute and it's coming up at £150 each! Where are these £82 tickets they speak of?!?!?! Might be back to plan A...

I have now done the first point on my process map, woo. Worked out how to do those arrow-shaped boxes and colour them in

Easyjet Newcastle-Paris CDG for the weekend I want = £53 rtn. :rolleyes: For a £100 saving I may be able to convince OH...

Dinah93

£100 and about 12 hours less travelling time each way - you'll enjoy it a lot more as you'll be less tired. I'm very jelous, I adore Paris, but for some reason NIM hates it and won't be convinced back.

For the foodies, I am doing dinner again tomorrow night. This weeks menu is:

Slow roasted belly pork with garlic and rosemary and homemade red onion gravy
or celeriac lasagne for mum who is veggie
with roasted root veggies, spiced red cabbage, and creamy sweet potato and sweetcorn mash

Tete_en_l'Air

Mmm, sounds like a banquet! I especially like the sound of the mash, yum! Really starting to feel that I haven't had much for dinner today, rumble rumble!

Dinah93

I had jacket spud with tikka masala, a chinese noodle soup, and pineapple, apple and stawberry fruit salad. Was lovely and filling and only 310 cals total!

Going to be good and go to the gym again after work, nose is less blocked, still coughing though. Remain scared of swimming, don't know why. Am hoping NIM will take me before pilates on Sunday!

Tete_en_l'Air

310, how do you know? Yup, I'll be going for a swim if OH ends up going for tea with the mayor, haven't heard from him yet so sounds like he might be.
