    Yes, I have some vouchers put aside too, and have already paid for breakfast on 4 out of the 6 days so that is a cost I don't have to find. Some of the travelodges do a £6.50 full English but it is 2 children eat free with every adult, so the three of us can get a good start to the day for very little money :D

    I didn't have reiki in the end yesterday - I had something called "metamorphic technique" - was excellent, and I have booked in another couple of sessions. I'm hoping it will help sort out the issue of balance and so far so good.

    So yes, "good enough" is actually "good enough", KC!

    Hi Lucielle! I have converted my Tesco clubcard vouchers into annual theme park passes, so our week looks like this:

    Mon - Chessington
    Tues - Thorpe Park
    Weds - Legoland
    Thurs - Warwick Castle
    Fri, Sat, Sun - Alton Towers

    Staying at such luxurious travelodge addresses such as Heathrow Terminal 5, and Coventry Central.......all at £19 or £21 a night :D My autistic friend (the lad I ran the marathon for) is joining us for the Alton Towers element of it, so I am ready for anything!

    The kids will have a fab time, and as we all know, if they are happy, Mum is happy......or that is the theory behind it, anyway!

    I'm actually quite looking forward to it - we are all adrenaline junkies, but the cost of theme parks has been prohibitive in the past so this is something quite different for us to do :D

    I hope so - hopefully the weather will be reasonable (not bothered if it not hot really, and I don't even mind a bit of rain, but don't really fancy downpours all week), and we can stick to our planned budgets (not that I have got that far yet, but will do so on payday!).

    The day we get back, we have another student arriving, so it will be straight back into our chaotic lives and will feel as though we have never been away!!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    'repose' - thats a lovely word and I am a 'reposed' person!
    LBM Feb 2010 £62,700 Total Debt Jan 11 [STRIKE]£49,403.84[/STRIKE] £47,530.32.

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!
