    That holiday sounds great CMD! And good price for the flights too! :T
    I wanted to teach there for a while after I graduate, but OH wants to stay here :o
    Oh shush CMD :D Sounds lovely! I'm going to Bath next week :o

    OH mentioned going to Bath the other weekend (we only live like 30 mins away) but I'd rather go on a weekday when it's not so busy. It is beautiful though. Especially the views from the rooftop pool!

    Tete, any news on Bruges?

    Hope your back gets better soon Poolie!

    Not very MSE but a good treat. OH and I are thinking about it for some time soon. If we go I think we would to stay over as a good 90 minutes drive.

    The thermae spa is amazing. Myself and OH went there for our 2nd anniversary last year and did the twilight package. What a nice way to celebrate 2 years together!

    CMD - Was the 3 hours enough. Did they take the time in the restaurant out of the 3 hours or was this extra afterwards?

    3 hours was more than enough. The restaurant time is taken off the 3 hours but they serve you very quickly. What we did re: restaurant was order the sharing platter and had a glass of wine each. We viewed the food as a starter and had a dinner when we came out.

    I thought it was well worth it as it was a special occasion but I wouldn't view the food as a main meal, or you might be disappointed :)

    Thanks for the information CMD. OH would need to leave work early so we could get along. It might better for her to take 2 days off that way we would stay over in Bath to save the drive and rushing about plus we could be there for the 4:00pm start and get an evening meal later as you suggest.

    Birthday/Wedding Anniversary present I think there.

    Oooh Poolie's fun on drugs!

    I've been updating all day on my dooyoos. I've done 4. I've either got 0 left to my target, or 2, depending on whether I aim for the target I set for today, or my normal one.
