Hi lovely Pap
That's very impressive for a week in London. Most people would spend double that on a weekend. Are you stashing those restaurant vouchers too?
Take care

Hello Em
I don't think its that bad, the Zoo will cost us about £10 each with the 2 for 1 deal. I don't do anything to get resturant voucers but I am thinking if we eat breakfast (free with accomodation) and then have something in the evening (even if we go to a supermarket) it should tie us over. I am planning one resturant/pub meal and prob one fast food meal. Mum loves subway so no doubt we will have one of those too.
All will come together, not long now :T0 -
Pap - have a look at voucher cloud on your internet phone - you may find some good deals on there for when you are in London (as well as locally of course)0

Thanks Dangers I shall do :j
So I have just spent all that I had left on the theatre tickets for Billy Elliott. They came to £41.50 (includes booking fee) so works out at £20.75 pp. So out of my £100 for the month I now have £0. Also the £27.50 for the megabus tickets will be sat on my credit card until payday. Not ideal but leaving it another month for tickets (for either item) may have forced me to buy 'standard' tickets.
Now London looks like, for two people -
B&B - £180.00
Mon - Travel (£27.50)
Tues - River cruise + London Eye (£0.00)
Wed - Tower of London (£34.00) + Sites + Orange Wednesday (£15.00 approx)
Thurs - Zoo (£19.50 '241') + Billy Elliott (£41.50)
Fri - Travel
The only thing I haven't forund a discount on is the Tower on London, but I will somewhereSo total for two, excluding food/spends/activitys we find ie bowling = £317.50 or £158.75 each :T
Edit - tower of London is also on '241' so will save £17.000 -

Not quite as I don't think my tickets will be of use for the '241'. I will have to wait and see but I may have to buy a ticket for within London traveling 'in' on Monday and 'out' of Friday. As long as its cheaper than £37 I will have made a saving
Obviously the cheaper the better :j
As for the loan/car thing above I don't know if its happening now. I have already 'lost' one car due to the bank dragging thier heels. I found another so phoned the bank to see how the process is going, to place a holding deposit... Aparently I have signed in the wrong ink so the scanner can't pick it up so they will prob have to re-issue the credit agreement for me to sign :mad: Sigh! Never mind I have waited this long...
Have a great extended weekend :T0 -

Scary being on the road without an instructor but its something I will get used too. After 3.5 years its been a long wait
