    That sounds very reasonable Jody, can't you talk him round to your way of thinking if he does say no! My OH is quite stubborn unfortunately!

    I think it sounds very reasonable too!

    When did you last go away together? Might be good as a bargaining tool! (We women are evil! ;))

    The only thing I forgot is airport parking!

    I slept in a park once :rotfl:.

    My boss has said I can take a few days leave if I want :D, I am sure I can work my puppy dog face on OH but it does mean a lost pub shift...decisions, decisions!

    ok, I need both the garage and the park sleeping explaining! :rotfl:

    I think sometimes you have to say it's ok to miss a shift to do something else. I know I'm really bad for doing the same, but I do think you can push too hard on the extra work and it's good to have a break sometimes x

    Can you believe only this morning you said we were on page 25 and now we're halfway down 26?! :eek:

    Maybe Adam was right bout talking too much...:rotfl:

    I do and I don't, if that makes sense?! I would love to go and have been saying for a few weeks I would like to get away, it's just whether OH agrees/can get time off. I've done well with my savings so I could 'afford' it but I also know it's very naughty :o.

    You are allowed to still have a life, and it's not like your booking a really extravagant trip, so your not being that naughty, just a little bit x

    PS: I'm blaming you lot for the fact that I have done !!!!!! all at work today lol!
