    I've come to the conclusion that I always need something to plan..nver realised that before..lol

    That is what I found too - once you have control, you can deal with things easier (I hadnt noticed what a control freak I was until that point)

    Sweet dreams, thats brilliant news re the insurance, and def agree re putting the money somewhere accesible.

    Hopefully take some presssure off all round, edinburgh sounds lovely, stayed up there 15yrs ago, stayed outside the city, organised coach tour,but was lovely to see. xx

    We may go to Scotland and have fancied edinburgh but aren't the hotels very expensive there?

    Some might say 3 nights of 'posh' living is just as good as a week 'foreign' and don't you think you deserve a little of the good life:D

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Come to Scotland. Edinburgh can be expensive, but less so out of season or midweek. Last minute.com secret hotels are usually good deals. But head north too for the scenery and the relaxation.
