    Hurray, all done now, the house is mine for the next few days, I have a cup of tea and I'm not afraid to drink it.

    I was going to go for my 15 minute walk, but it was raining, and now its **throwing** it down :eek: but I did do 15 minutes in the garden, breathing, and bagging the last of those rhodendron cuttings.

    I'm airing the house, I know what I'm going to eat for tea, now that I've finished I don't want to go back to bed ... there's nothing for it but to do my accounts :( which is really a :j

    Where did I find this web address: www.booking.com ? Might have been MG's thread .... The Residence Tabor in Prague ... single ensuite, E16 per night! Prague!

    It looks really nice. Off to a European train website.

    Hello Karma & all - long time no post & there are pages to catch up on :o

    Good to hear you've seen the herbalist & have some new things to try out.

    I really do have travel envy now ... I have plans for global wandering when DD all grown up & independent.

    Best get on with debt clearance then ...

    Thanks Squizz - but they don't want to play with Prague :( hey ho, seat61.com will tell me how :)

    I *did* get out for my walk, and sometimes I love my life, even the sogginess of the life we have today over most of the country :D I was doing the health checklist, and working out how I could boil then simmer the detox tea in a stainless steel container ... suddenly remembered, one thing I *haven't* decluttered is a little pan I bought in Turkey - one of the ones with a pouring lip at 90 degrees from the handle. Its heavy, and I just checked on wiki what "inox" means - its a synonym for "stainless steel" :D No lid, but it has to simmer for 10 minutes or so. I bet I can find one :D:D:D



    Hi Lula! I have travel envy too - I haven't done any this time around yet! But I simply refuse to carry on living like this, I'm not going to splurge, but I *will* have my life back.

    You can simmer without a lid can't you? Or if not - good luck! :D Sounds like you're having a nice day :D

    seat61 is FAB. I think I said I once got the orient express from Paris to Vienna for £25 :j :j Pretty basic accommodation (ordinary train carriage, but with lie back seats, kind of like low tech dentists chairs :rotfl:) - but got a proper sleeping compartment (and tea and croissants for breakfast!) on the way back for £125 - gosh it was exciting :D

    That sounds fab KC. Seat 61 was the site I found when planning my trip. I used all of the information from there but then looked up the prices on the local train services rather than booking with them. When booking OHs ski trip last year I saved him over £200 in total for 3 mens tickets compared to using the site 61 recommendation for the Brititsh booking lines. It was quite time consuming but worth it. I told OH that I would charge commission this year so he booked it all himself!

  • Another one here with travel envy - I've bookmarked the link to the hostel in Krakow, must go and find out if they have speedway there then consider whether we can stretch to a trip next year! :D

    I'd never heard of seat 61 before, isn't it brill!

    Simmering - absolutely, it can be done without a lid, cheery, but it uses more fuel and steams the kitchen up faster, thats all - just being very mse :)

    And I've done all of ten minutes on my accounts :D

    Sorry to be the cause of so much travel envy sprouting up - but it is nice to dream, isn't it - and with the positivity we have here nowadays, we *will* have our dreams :j:j:j
