    Gorgeous baby Bookie, I hope he's been good for you today.

    I've been studying and now I have nothing to do, I'm so restless lately, I'm worried the hyperactivity is starting to kick in again *sigh* I wish I had balance.

    It would just be me and DH-we'd try and get someone to have the kids for the day...

    Hi Bunny, not too sure about the cheap train tickets except for quidco perhaps. When you book it, don't dismiss first class as it may not be that much more expensive

    My friends went to London last weekend and it was £50 cheaper for them to fly there from Newcastle including the parking charges.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    There's 15,000 protesting today. Police leave has been cancelled. All sorts of trouble planned apparently - look

    My boss has booked for next weekend, and isnt looking forward to it.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    I think that the main demonstration is on Wednesday as the G20 Summit starts on Thursday but I expect they will continue into the weekend. I might just join in the demonstration then:D

    I've seen instances where first class has been cheaper.

    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.
