    Big choccie slab sounds good to me Pap.
    Havent been to Bath in years.

    Mmmmm, so much better in real life though. I brought some mini slabs as gifts for xmas. I was more excited to get a paper bag from them :rotfl: I went to Bath when I was about 7/8 I think. Its the first time I had been as an adult. They have a few shops there that we dont hvae in Bristol so its a good day out really :j It is Bunny, even the new shopping centre they are building they are keeping all the old characters of the buildings so it still looks lovely.

    Oh Pooky, my lil cousin is out of hospital, they let him out this afternoon :T

    Good holiday BB?
    Good to see u back.

    it was great beanie.........sigh........amazing weather, around 28-30 each day (how mad is that in October?!)

    This was the view I had each day

    quarteira-apartment-portugese-rentals-view-from-balcony-150565.jpg

    amazingly quiet beach, lovely apartment right at the more 'local' end of the prom. We used small bars and restaurants used by locals, about a mile down the prom was a bit more 'British' but we preferred to stay nearer the apartment (and practise my very elementary Portugese - we only got the wrong meal once :rotfl:)

    Yeah - OH was a !!!!!! a couple of times :rolleyes: as expected - he went off on a few of what I called his 'radio 5 soap box shock jock' rants to try to get a rise from me :rolleyes: and one day we walked to Vilamoura but he 'wanted to explore'. It was 30C by lunchtime and by the time we finally walked back from Vilamoura all I could hear along the prom was 'pick your feet up, you look dead on your feet'. I used map my run when I got back......5.3 miles we'd walked in scorching heat. No wonder I was bloody knackered :rotfl:

    However, it was a lovely, quiet resort. I even got a few non-white bits on me :rotfl:

    No, I definitely by coincidence don't already have Ryanair open in another window looking at next October's £2.79 each way flights........:whistle:

    Bunny - go for the job. Even if you end up leaving because your police job then starts, there's no point in being unhappy if something has come up.
