    Afternoon all, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! as this is my first post of 2010.
    I hope everyone has had a lovely festive period, has it been possible to get through without spending too much??
    I did pretty well, didn't spend too much on presents and going out, but did have quite a few nights where me & OH went out for tea, that's all added up and has now been banned by me!!

    So to start the new year as we mean to go on, I'm off to start a shiny new diary, minus my SOA as its far to complicated when my earnings are all over the place, damn casual hours!!! I hope you will all pay it a visit and give me a kick up the bottom when it's needed (which I'm sure will be often)

    I've always wanted a diary! But i'm not in debt and never have been :( I used to have a blogger and really did think people would flock and read it, why on earth would they?! haha x
  • As for Bath I want to see the Abby, we went before Chrsitmas shopping but the Abby was closed :o Do you mean in Victoria Park? Bath? I never knew there was a tower there? Ohhh... Do you think we could take the dog on the train :confused:

    A tower in Vicky Park? I didn't know that either and I live 5 mins walk away and pass it every day. :rotfl: Maybe I'll get a chance to go, if I ever stop being glued to my laptop, trying to work. :rolleyes: Oh well, I've made some progress on reading, I just need a quote from another book to back up what the 1st one says, since I've used the 1st one too much already. I also need to go to work soon.

    I dont know Kayliegh, prehaps its the one LMC has posted? I just presumed it was in Victora Park, silly of me really, considering I have only been there once. Maybe Becky can come and post where she means. You never know she could be speaking about my home town :rotfl:

    Edit ~ If it is Beckford Tower its closed :(
    Please note that the Tower and Museum are now closed for the winter, and will reopen at Easter 2010.

    I know that Beckford Tower can be seen from the Royal United Hospital.

    If my memory serves me right, Victoria Park does have a nice garden, a fab park for those who are young at heart, a lovely little pond and lots of trees!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    There were those gas work tower things in the Weston area of Bath!!! :rotfl:

    I think I've only walked through it once on my way to town and I was trying to keep up with my much faster housemate so I didn't have a chance to look around. Silly really, like I said I'm 5 mins up the road, I could go anytime. Except for now though, when I have to go to work. :D Talk later, everyone.
