    . Oh well, we'll just have to go again :)

    Silver Lining! :D Shame about the weather and the hotel. But still, you managed to get a break from it all. Fab news you've managed to come back with €100 too. Did you manage to get any pictures with your old camera?

    Oh only about 400, AND found out how to do B&W and sepia on it so that was exciting (I've only had it like 3 years), so managed to get a bit of artsy-fartsying done from beneath my parapluie!

    Well done on coming back with money, if that had been me I would have had such a sulk about the weather I'd have spent all of my money (and more!) on pretty things to cheer me up! Hence the CC debt... ;)

    In this climate I don't think anyone should be pushing for a payrise, be grateful to keep your job.

    Exactly!!

    Welcome back, Tete! What a shame about the weather, but I agree that going back is a definite silver lining :o

    Oh not many then! I third Birdie and Poddle. Pictures please!

    Your Paris holiday reminds me about mine, gar, still got to get that booked! Waiting on my Passport to come back, and tescos are taking the piddle with this CC! They want a copy of a phone bill, which I can send them. It just won't have my name on it :rolleyes: Got a small pile of post I need to work through tonight too. I'm starting to get what my mum is on about when she says there aren't enough hours.

    Cinny - i know how you feel. I feel like there is a never ending pile of post to go through - usually bills!
    Oh how nice it will be not to have to worry about electric/council tax/gas bills when we move in with OHs parents - what will i do with all my time??

    I agree - tete we want to see pictures!

    ALMOST bought myself a lovely £40 top in Zara but luckily it gaped around the breast area, just spent a fiver on a lovely Muji candle, and got myself an Eiffel snow globe to go with my flamenco one from Sevilla :D Might start a collection...

    As for piccies, I'll see if I can do you a link to my facebook once I get them sorted.

    Did you have a nice time excluding the weather though Tete? Good to have a break away, I actually felt a lot better just from going to Ireland last time (someone remind me to book that when I come in from my MS this evening! - £32 for 2 people return is unbeatable!)
