    was gonna say, I'm happy to practice with people tomorrow if they like :) more interesting than work ;) :rotfl: got 20/20 just then with the OH :D shame he only got 7 :rotfl:
    even though I'm finding it addictive and fun today, think I'll only play a little bit more.. it's not worth all the hours just for a few vouchers IMHO. which is good, no BigSnap level of addiction! :rotfl: think I'll stick with my bingo :D

    who else is watching Ugly Betty? :)


    I love Betty, yes very sad but highlight of my week :T
    Love amanda and mark :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yeah it was a win and sorry to bore those that have already read this on facebook but basically it's a 5 star stay at The Goring in Victoria with £500 vouchers to spend at their pride of Britain hotels,free brekfast and dinner for both days,champers afternoon tea tomorrow,ride on the eye(been on it before anyway and didn't think much of it but it's free;)) and then onto the queens gallery at buck house.We was supposed to have a chauffuer driven car to the eye and gallery but the hotel said as we asked to take the kids with us and they have given us a family room at no extra charge they can't provide the car which is fair enough i spose:rolleyes::cool:
    We do have to pay though for the extras for the kids like a meal for them but niot sure they'll like it being posh anyway(have you seen their menu or a sample of it online?:eek:) and saying that i am fussy too so might not like anything;)
    But if they do we can use the vouchers anyway and i might even use one to connect to their wireless at a cost of £15 per 24 hours(or £5 per hour:eek:) as i might just take the netbook with me incase;)


    The Goring's site

    The Goring sample menu

    Errm most people i suppose would love to have food like that but not me give me chips;)

    twice-daily housekeeping?! Glad I never worked there!

    Agree with you about the menu though, think I'll stick with pizza express :D

    hope you have a great time!

    Slippers - I've taken as they are often individually wrapped and can't be used again by other guests.
    Dressing gowns - never taken as they are cleaned and re-used. will probably get charged to your credit card if you take one. When I stayed at a Westin in Canada there was a thing saying you can take me if you want but I will cost you however many $... :rolleyes:
    2008: £783.12 - 2009: £6,401.15 - 2010: £4,230.61 - 2011: £8720 - 2012: £2,041.89
    2013: £134.96

    I'm ashamed to say I did once take an ashtray from a posh hotel where I stayed.:o I don't even smoke neither! :rotfl:
    Big thanks to all who contribute to the forums. Be lucky everyone and be safe!

    Ha ha! Just found this on a friends facebook page. I love it.

    Last night as I lay sleeping
    I died or so it seemed
    Then I went to heaven
    But only in my dream.
    Up there St. Peter met me
    Standing at the pearly gates
    He said "I must check your record
    Please stand here and wait"
    He turned and said "your record
    Is covered with terrible flaws,
    On earth I see you rallied
    For losing every cause
    I see that you drank alcohol
    And smoked and used drugs too,
    Fact is, you've done everything
    A good person should never do.
    We can't have people like you up here....
    Your life was full of sin".
    Then he read the last of my record, took my hand
    And said "come in".
    He led me to the big Boss and said..
    "take her in and treat her well,
    She used to work for the NHS
    She has done her time in HELL!!

    UPDATE

    My OH's cousin who was attacked is off the critical list - thank god!

    The little boffer who attacked him has been released on bail as the Police cannot charge him with attempted murder until they have a statement from Martin - who incidentally has no power of speech at the movement due to the swelling in his brain!

    I just hope the rest of the family don't get to him first...... they may not need to charge him as he may already have been punished IYKWIM!

    Thanks again for the hugs and messages. Had a really busy day today so not had time to comp but am already done up to 27th so not too worried!

    Had a win today - 3 course meal in London! Keeping it for when we have our weekend down there! Yay!

    Hugs to all that need them and speak soon
