    :j Hi Guys'n'Gals , I had a great time in Brugge, got home about an hour ago. Took loads of photos of the buildings and the chocolate was to die for. I think I shall be rolling up to Blackpool. I ate far too much,;) but didn't over do the vino. Spent a fortune, but that is what holidays are for .Bought a big bottle of Numero Cinq:j as a treat to myself. so I will smell expensive if nothing else. My smallest grandson Michael (21 months) has gone down with chicken pox, and is smothered in little spots bless him. I am trying to steer clear of him.

    My eldest grandson is :j as his footie team is in the F.A.Cup.:footie: He is a Hammers fan.
    all the other grandchildren in-between all rang up to say Hi ya Nan what have you brought home for me , mercenary little blighters Apart from that all is well in Jackieworld at the moment as it is only 10 more days until my next little spree.:rotfl:
    Looking forward to meeting you all _party_ :wave:

    I went to Blackpool a few weeks ago on a hen weekend, we were a mixed age group ranging from 18 to 60 yrs so didn't want night clubs etc
    I was amazed at how busy it was, we went out around the tower area and everyone seemed to be in party groups, matching T-shirts and rolling drunk,
    we even saw a couple actually doing the deed in Brannigans :eek:

    missk - any tips re good pubs/eateries (MSE priced of course), best shopping areas, best chippy etc would be most welcome :D

    At least if we had a list to go on, we would have a choice. And even if you don't know the best, a list of where NOT to go would be most welcome too :)
