    Thanks Guys- well what can i say? It was a fantastic experience- despite me getting a really heavy cold the first night :( TBH i half expected it as i still had aches and pains from the lurgy, the previous week and i was worn out. Still, the weekend was totally spectacular.



    Totally fantastic- despite looking like Rudolph most of the time :))

    So i am glad i didn't miss it.

    DD is still tired but is gaining energy every day :)

    Shattered now, but i did keep to a budget so not bad. I spent £70 in total- which for a weekend there is not bad going i don't think!

    I will delete details later as a lot of personal info.

    That was my spends-
    £12 on taxi- to and from a travel lodge for first night ( we couldn't get in at the place where they were all staying until the second evening)

    £20 on gifts and nick nacks- i had a wee spend at Harrods

    Flu remedies and vicks £12

    Misc bits which were coffees and teas, £10 for Planet Hollywood and for tea home took me up to £65 i came back with a fiver.

    Mostly we took packed lunches and drinks with us..so not bad really i was very disciplined.:D

    The trip was paid for in dribs and drabs.
