    ffp - done. Hope he wins.

    Looks like I've missed out on the 25% discount for the friends and family railcard by about a month. :mad: I can still get 10% off, but would like to use it on Thursday. Don't think I'll risk buying it online, then, as we should save more than £2.60 going to Leeds.

    ETA Just realised that I can get free YHA membership for a year if I buy online. Also, they promise to dispatch by first class post within one working day. Think I'll risk it.

    Morning all, I've not posted for a while although I have been trying to keep up with the cleaning. I've had a couple of days off work and true to form I've been ill. Just a bad cold, but they make you feel really miserable don't they? And I got bitten by some sort of insect last Wednesday while cutting the grass and had a swollen, red and very itchy arm for a few days. Today it's finally more or less gone. The itching, not the arm.

    DH's solution was for me to wear a long sleeved top while doing the mowing. Not for him to take over.....

    Hope everyone's OK.


    FFP. I've voted.
