    DH has now gone back to bed as I simply can't get the house warm enough for him to thaw out....he's been joined by both cats, they seem to sense when you need that extra warmth don't they.

    *Cats are thinking....*
    He seems to sense when we need extra warmth - he gets into bed and we can snuggle up all warm and cosy

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I'm in the large boardroom on the 4th floor and there's a big flipchart here, shall I be naughty and draw a big comedy knob on one of the pages? :rolleyes: :D

    I went on an MSE Bunkbarn meet and we stayed here
    http://www.yorkshirenet.co.uk/ydales/bunkbarns/haltongill/

    We all took our own snacks / drinks and then brought money to chip in for the big shop the organiser did on her way up. Think there were around 15 of us and it cost £50 each
    Good wine needs to breathe, if it stops breathing try mouth to mouth.

    Linda, omg yes, definitely, as if you even have to ask!! :rotfl:

    Not one of the front pages, one further back so it will be found at a later date. :D

    Bun, I'm hoping it wont be £900 as it will be waaaaay out of season, and I can't imagine demand is THAT high in February. And I doubt everyone will bring kids if they are intending to drink, so it might not be as expensive as that. Fingers crossed. :)

    That was just the first one I found anyway, there were plenty of others, lets hope we can find a bargain. :T
