    Bargain. I prefer the swimming pool at nottingham one it's bigger but I like the doughnut pool at Longleat.
    Have fun. I really want to go for a holiday this year but the wedding has to come first.

    this site has some great caravan break in the uk. It is private lets people who own the caravans let the out and i have found some great prices loads cheaper than the sites a lot are haven, butlins trype places. for a fri, sat, sun break to butlins in june is £180 for a 8 berth caravan. you hire the caravan and sometimes they incluse passes so it costs the same wether it is 2 people or 8!

  • I've never been to Centre parcs or Butlins -- didn't realise you could just go for the day :) My mum's best friend always goes there... not sure which one though... but she loves it. Hope you have a lovely time anyway.

    Jen I was thinking of sending it recorded too, but I don't think there's much point as most of the time things don't get signed for so it;'s a waste of 70p plus you get the same £36 cover as you do with the ordinary first class service.

    dd's dad popped in to see dd and he clocked the 2 baby changing mats in the corner of the lounge. I didn;t answer the question he asked just told him to mind his own buisness and the look on his face was priceless!!

  • LOL Jen at the changing mats thing.

    The cinema seems very cheap though..! It's about £6 each here.

    stacy why didn;t you get your £11 from woolworths?

    My virgin voucher has arrived and is on fee bay already!
    I kept meaning to withdraw money from them but i stupidly never and they closed down. i could have contacted them so i could get it but everytime people ask these sites questions, their accounts get suspended coz they find out if you have more than one so thought id cut my losses and start again.
    Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.
