In a bit of a quandary (sp). It is my birthday next month and my family want me to go and visit them and they will pay for a cottage for us to stay in whilst we are there. My dad said he will stock up on food etc.

I am very surprised by this and would really love to take them up on their very generous offer. However >>>>

Can we afford the petrol to drive up to Scotland and back ?

Can I afford to lose a week's wages ? ( prob not)


I would love to go as have not seen my family for 2 yrs:(.

I really need to make up my mind soon ...

What would you do ???

:jseriously, where give us a clue, I'm near queens hotel, could your parents come down to you and makebe take up the other at travel lodge it may be cheaper, I'm sure there may be deal that would be cheaper than renting a cottage then maybe you could have a family meal and still have a really nice time.

btw when next month?

Hi Ruby,

I live near King George V playing fields ... so not far from you really :rotfl:

Mum is not really up to travelling due to poor health.

I am back home now and just off to watch Eastenders.
