The ultimate incentive proposed! Buying a house, a wedding, and staying debt free.

Couldn't you just do the mince filling with mashed or boiler tators, Zig? That's what me and my sister do when we can be bothered to mash it all up and put it in the oven!

I am completely not counting down to my holiday yet either, and it most certainly isn't 60 days to go if I was. Need to update my winter wardrobe for it though, don't really fancy slumming it around a luxury lodge in my tatty dressing gown! Been eyeing up the new Autumn stuff on Asos today. How cute are these?! Need to buy a new coat for winter, my coat from last year is too big now I've lost weight. Was a lovely coat too!

Oh no! I've just been innocently surfing various clothes websites looking for inspiration for my mood board (honest!!) and have seen that this cat dress has gone in the sale - I was looking at it a couple of weeks ago and almost bought it at full price only they didn't have my size!! I have enough in £2 coins....

Wow, that dress is amazing. I love it

Shush CMD, don't encourage me! Gloves are lovely Cinny but there are no fingers! Brr!

Can't be bothered with any more work so am perusing Bruges type websites! Where did you find that lovely B&B Zig?

I booked Bruges too Tete. I think we got it for about £120. I booked my parents on it today for the same weekend as me and it was £178 for 2 people, going on a Fri night and coming back Sun evening. It is a Christmas present so saves me having to think of other things to buy for them!

That's so cheap CMD, where are you? We always seem to pay more for things like this in the North Where are you staying? The £189 deal we found is staying in a bit of an out-the-way hotel and I suspect it's in a shared cabin in the ferry with no meals included... OH's just found a deal with a 2-berth cabin inc meals and transfers, about £140 each, so am looking into hotels and B&Bs - looks like becoming a bit expensive

I originally found it here on TripAdvisor

But here is the website for the B&B

ETA - Tete could you not fly or get the Eurostar? We wanted to go by ferry but it would've ended up costing loads so we looked at these options instead and Eurostar was the cheapest.

Oh sorry, we are on the Eurostar. I must have read the thread wrong!

Tete_en_l'Air

No you didn't sorry my thoughts are flitting about! Eurostar is expensive again for us as we have to get the train so far south. Fancy the ferry a bit though. Zig your B&B's lovely.

I'm doing a photo album of our cats for a Christmas present for my Mum. And I went to see which photo's to do and I have billions! It's like people's baby photos where they take loads and they look like the frames of a video! Anyone else have tons of pet photos?!

Hope you manage to find a good deal with the ferry Tete. You were the one who first mentioned Bruges, you have to go!

I'm the Queen of cutting corners!

Wish I could help you with train fares + eurostarness Tete. No chance of flying is there?

ETA: We have seriously loads of pet photos too Zig. They're just so darn cute! Off home now, have a nice night everyone!
