    blimey, no Linda - it's pitch black and I don't fancy wandering around on my own.....I might have seen some kind of wine for sale at the retro bar a couple of doors away which may be a student bar as there are loads of student buildings between here and the station, but I'm not sure. Might ask reception. Had a shower so smell a bit nicer now!

    Oooo I love hotel bathrooms, having a bath or a shower in one always seem a bit exotic for some reason:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    The best thing about hotels is the hotel breakfasts!

    We're reminiscing about the 1980's in the money savers arms!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I could do with a glass of red to calm my nerves!
    Got to sort out this disgruntled Leader first though.

    Really Bookie we are all totally normal and quite sensible...............that is until the male strippers arrive :rotfl: :rotfl: :beer:

    Yes, it's because there are no kids jumping in, announcing they need a poo, banging on the door and you don't have to wash the towels or clean the bath afterwards!

    BB I would always put personal safety first. You have paid for a flight and 2 nites in a hotel. Get a bottle from the hotel! x

    8 hours of that was actually driving. Its the post 8 am thats the worse, especially as I was in the Richmond/Twickenham/Kew areas which meant that every other car was a 4wd with a school-run-mum who could just about see over the steering wheel and has no clue about the size of the car..........as long as little Jocasta and Toby get to Prep School safely!

    Oi ! I resemble that remark Pepe!!! I AM Schoolrunmum, and whats worse I drive a 4WD !!!! (Although its a Jag X Type so it doesn't look like a big road hogger) (Hmm, but DH does own a Land Rover too-thats definately a 4WD....although he does only drive it to the forest when he's logging-is that ok??)
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    Well thankfully my 13 and 15 year old sons are out of that phase:rotfl:

    I think its the cleaning up and the clean bathroom too that makes it so special, no skiddy boxer shorts on the floor :rolleyes:
