    Beanie, I think I went for too long last time, four days, it took me ages to recover. I'm flying from Leeds which makes it easier, it takes less time than the bus to London! This way I wont be tempted to do loads, and overdo it. Just the Doges Palace again (I didn't give myself long enough there in Jan) where they're ultra disabled friendly, and the Arsenale. Both of which are near where I'm staying.

    I'm going at the end of April.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Isent it funny how we are all so different.
    I find I need to have a rest when I get there so only going for a couple of days isent always an option.
    I hope you have a fantastic time:D

    anyone else not get their graze box last week and then an email saying there had been a problem so this week would be free and next week half price? I didn't get mine on Friday - it was going to be my last one as I had used up the free/half price/code offer and thought it was because I got a new debit card with a new expiry date. Turns out they had a 'kitchen' problem and it didn't go out to me.

    I think that's the difference with ME - you set off, keep going, and then crash.

    Didn't have that BB, but I'm not sure I like the new sizes, some things are just too much in the bigger boxes. Some of the new flavours are gorgeous though!

    *is an idiot*

    After all my worrying about avalanches and ski accidents, he hadn't put the phone on charge. Cue me crying down the phone and calling him names, and informing him next week I will be taking up his time a bit.

    Sort of better now, but he sounded a bit drunk...his fault not mine....

    1 and a half days to go

    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
    I do it all because I'm scared.

    not had anything chocolatey yet!! I was on the energy one and decided to try the fruit one for a week or so.

    Ames - did you like the wasabi thingies? Sainsbury sell them at 99p per bag if you do. It's a small bag but bigger than the graze portion.
