    :beer:!!! YAY ME !!!:beer: I've finally found somewhere and have just booked it for my week off... an old coastguard cottage right on the beach about 40 miles away. Slightly over budget but it's got everything I want - open fire, can take the dog, remote, but not too remote - it does have neighbours. And it has an internet connection so I can pop in and say hello every so often :D. OOh, I'm getting quite excited now. I shall go straight after work next Friday.

    Oooh, it sounds lovely... mmmmm sitting in front of a real fire, one of the few things I enjoy about being cold, coming in to a real fire and warming up... toastie...

    Right, in my 20min challenge I put a wash on, filled the dishwasher with brekkie stuff and S&S's the kitchen (didn't need much) and the bathroom (did need much)... So another full HHC coming up now...
