    Just got a MS phone call for this evening, nice £5, and then I also have a pet shop on saturday, that I'm going to have to convince mum to take me to after we have our lunch, it's about 4 miles so not too far!

  • Ok 30-40 minutes isnt too bad actually, the questionnaire does look pretty thorough.

    Lol yeah, NIM has never seen her on catnip so might be tempted.

    Hmmm, full 7 night break at center parcs in 2010 for £360... I'm a bit tempted....

    My cats seem to be scared of catnip, one in particular actually runs away from it! Shame as I used to love giving it to the late Tinker. Don't know where I've got this pair from, weirdest cats ever!

    I never like the sound of centre parcs for some reason, is that a good price then, what would it normally be?

    It can easily be over £800 for a week. I like it as it's very active, lovely setting, and it's a week away from the real world. £360 would be less than you'd pay for a holiday cottage for a week, and its a time when the kids are at school so very quiet. I just like being active, and little breaks in the UK are going to have to be order of the day since NIM won't be getting so much time off (and they're cheaper!). My main concern is that it'd be 5 days of his holiday, if we went on two weeks away that'd be another 10, that wouldn't leave enough time for Christmas and visiting Ireland. How can anyone get by on 20 days?!
