    Well done on the nicotine free quest. I think you are doing really well. Is the acupuncture helping?

    I hope the weather is good for the Zoo. It makes such a difference.
    But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?

    Well done you! It must be so difficult stopping smoking and still carrying on with the weight loss - thats *really* powerful.

    Have a good day at the zoo tomorrow :)

    Took JJ to the zoo and it poured down but we still had fun...I think I've been very MSE as adult price is £14.99 and child price £10.80 then £2.50 for car park and £3.00 for play barn....

    So I bought a special offer yearly adult membership for £38.75...this actually is for 15th months and runs out end of dec 2012...with that I got 4 1/2 price guest passes so used one to get JJ in for £5.40 ...THE MEMBERSHIP GETS ME IN FOR FREE and 10% off in the shops and cafes and 10% off birthday parties and I also bought the special offer car park pass for £10 so they refunded me the £2,50 car park fee....this is very handy as if I park there and walk down a small path it brings me out at the hospital and will save me at least £1,30 in car park fees and because we'd been in the zoo he got play barn at £1.50...he loved it and wants to go again.

    My other 2 granchildren are under 3 so don;t need to pay for them and a pass for JJ is £27 odd so thinking of buying him one for his birthday or christmas and he can use it anytime he wants to go saving us all money....and I can also take the other grandchildren without it costing me anything.
    JJs gone back home now a happy boy.

    Thats really excellent, Taxi, on the zoo pass - and it helping with hospital parking too, there's *such* an issue with that these days ...
