    Morning all, £45 to paying off the sofa please :D
    Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j
  • Two paddies were working for the city public works department.
    One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind him and fill the hole in.
    They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to
    the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one man digging a hole,
    the other filling it in again.

    An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they
    were doing. So he asked the hole digger,
    "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it,
    why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

    The hole digger wiped his brow and sighed,
    "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team,
    but today the lad who plants the trees called in sick.

    Hello! Yes, went earlier this year. It's very "cool" :cool: About £13 for 45 mins I think and £6 for an extra drink which is actually really good for central Mayfair. Take your camera! I'm sure my mate got us £1 off each by reserving a ticket in advance on the web...If you're staying a little bit MSE don't eat in Mayfair as its uber expensive - unless you are treating yourselves then fill your boots!!

    Thanks for the tip Andy I will book it online. No we wont be eating in Mayfair:eek: We are armed with Tesco vouchers for Pizza Express and a hi life dining card for half price dining in loads of different restaurants.:D
    Payment A Day £15 (started 17/5/14) :j

    If you are going for a Pizza Express I highly recommend this one :

    (google) Pizza Express, Benbow House London SE1 9DS

    It's right on the river on the Southbank which is usually pretty buzzing on the weekend - nice walk too. If you can get an upstairs seat (ask for by the window) there is a fantastic view over to St Pauls - even better at night. :D

    I love Pizza Express. They always do the Pizza's without cheese, without treating me like a crazy person for not having cheese! lol. And, I had my leaving lunch there, and they gave me free cake!! :D
