    Welcome Back.

    How was the holiday? As you can tell we have been busy chatting away without you (we have missed you though).

    The holiday was great, apart from about 3 hours on the Friday when we saw his mother which made me loose the will to live and want to turn to hard drugs.

    Oh dear! Did you get some nice sunny weather though? I'd love to get over to Ireland this year but I'm just being a bit too holiday-happy and can't possibly afford another!

    Ooh speaking of holidays, when I read Cinny's post about caravans earlier I meant to post a link to this: http://www.wigwamholidays.com/ - They're pretty cheap I think and they look so cool but bit Scotland-centric maybe. This is another thing on The List!!

    Oooh I do like the wigwams! They're pretty cheap too... not as cheap as the tent but pretty close... hmmm!

    Ahh, it does happen!

    Glad you had fun though! Your sig is looking great too. Will remember to log on for mammoth post later!

    Just looked at that site Tete, they look fun! Will put it on the possible list for September, would only work out at £224 for the week too.

    Totally not in the right frame of mind for work, keep on thinking 'Holidays!' plus it's all sun outside now.

    Is all horrible and rainy here this morning. Really didn't want to get up and go to work.

    Cinny I am sure you can manage to make some money towards Disneyland. Dooyoo will help.

    NIM and I have been talking a lot about setting up a self build company recently, just saw what I consider to be a dream project. Chapel with pp to convert to a 2 bed house in a nice village just outside the Yorkshire Moors, £75k. We've both got a real weakness for church conversions.

    Oooh, the Sun's coming out, there may be hope for my afternoon! I'm looking forward to golfing but I know I'll be completely useless, but it's something different so I'll enjoy myself!
    Those wigwams look quite good! I'm really not into camping but I think I could handle that!
    Nice to know you had a nice time in Ireland Dinah!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Oooh, sounds wonderful! I love the idea of living in a converted Chapel, all those lovely stained glass windows and beautiful masonry!
