    Saturday will be mad panic, Sunday will be be drunk on a plane clinging on for dear life.

    See with that, I pictured clinging onto the side of the plane! Just take a set of headphones and watch the inflight movie to take your mind off it. Did you get your plane meal thingy sorted?

    It might be worth it Tete! You could go three times a week at night though, do 35 on the first two days then 30 on the third and thats your 100 covered!

    Dinah - That starts next week I think, although they were talking about it yesterday so I might get it this week, I didn't really ask! I'll be moving the £50 over every other payday, just this week with bills I'd rather wait. You're right though, after I get my increase it'll be much easier, I might even get a little bit of money stacking up in my current account!

    Another one?! I was watching Harrogate on Relocation Relocation last night and it looks lovely, I keep meaning to pop in one weekend. I love that we're all talking about our plans for the weekend and it's only Tuesday morning! :o I think we're attempting Helvellyn again on Friday :eek:

    It's the same one that I was talking about however long ago that was! There are only 2 a year so I have plenty of time to get worked up for them!

    Harrogate is lovely, OH used to live there so I know it well. I feel a lot more comforatble in Ripon though, Harrogate is full of rich beautiful people and there's such pressure to look the part all the time! OH has loads of friends there and all of the girls all have that posh girl hair (you know the type; long, blonde with ridiculously difficult to achieve/ maintain side sweepy parting!) and they all adorn their super skinny bodies with Jack Wills... eugh, I hate them!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Can't believe you're going on holiday this weekend Dinah! It came around quickly! I'm not wishing I could go with you at all...

    I didn't realise it was like that, I thought it was just a cute little market town like Ripon or somewhere. I thought posh girl hair was blonde with black roots, all piled up in a big old mess. And they always wear little vests and flips flops in February, with a massive scarf! And talk in those annoying gravelly voices. Ahem. And I don't even know what Jack Wills is! :o

    What's Jack Wills? Sounds like a lucky man.

    It's a charter Thomas Cook flight, so I wouldn't be suprised if I'm just taped to the outside! What if the inflight movie is rubbish?! Plus it's nearly a 7 hour flight, need to be drunk to get through that long. Will be hitting the duty free at 7am.

    NIM is supposed to be sorting the meals this morning, but he seems to have gotten confused by Quorn.

    I really like flying! Really enjoyed our long haul to Cuba last year, watched The Other Boleyn Girl and Horton Hears a Who! :D

    The really posh girls never have their roots showing! (But you're right about the piling up of the hair. How do they do that? Do you have to have posh genes for it to work because my hair won't do anything other than lie there! and don't get me started on smoky eyes, I just look like I've slept with my make-up on!) Daddy pays for the 2 weekly colourings! And the brand new Mini to get them to and from town... :rolleyes: Jack Wills is the new 'In' thing, remember Gap hoodies about... hmm, lets me think, when was I at school?... 2000ish? The 'cool' kids all have Jack Wills hoodies now (at £80 a pop!) and the rich ones have the whole outfit topped off with Ugg boots!

    Don't let it put you off Harrogate though, it is lovely; I often like to dress up and go in the really posh shops and have my little 'dreamy' days mentally making a list of everything I plan to buy when I win the lottery! Sad I know!

    Worst thing is, you've nailed the posh Ra's uniform to a T! Why do they all dress the same?!
