    it sure is saving ...i certainly cant complain ...well we went out for pizza tonight it cost 9 for two pizzas (10 inch) 1.5 ltr bottle coke and 500ml water including tip ...so much cheaper than last night ...and just as nice ...

    found out today as well that the state tax has now been abolished in Krakow so i have transferred the 50 pounds i had saved for it towards the spending money ...i didnt think it would come to 50 but didnt want to get to the end of the holiday and find out it was and not have enough...

    i think however i have brought the midges over from scotland with me ...i need to check my suitcase and see ...i am covered in huge bites over my legs and back and they are soooo itchy ..

    so tomorrow we have quite a bit of spending money (thanks to the 50) we are going to go to auschwitz then probably have an early night ...i haveheard though that there is now a gift shop in auschwitz the very thought of that horrifies me ...but will let you know tomorrow ...i mean are they selling my best friend went to auschwitz and all i got was this lousy t-shirt type things ...totally horrifying

    me too. I read a great big stash of nora roberts while we were on holiday - she writes mainly romances but tends to throw a bit of fantasy or murder in too LOL

    I have a vast collection of good murder books! Not read any Nora Roberts so will add to list. I generally go through a book a day, so have re read quite a few. I have not seen any others i like at the moment.
    Wilbur Smith is a good read for fantasy/history/magic with a lot of blood and gore thrown in.
