I have had all the details for a night away next month sitting on the desk - just hesitating about actually doing the bookings - not sure why, just kept getting nervous every time I thought about it - stupid really (it's the first tutorial for my OU course)
So just went to check again and the hotel I had found which was offering a 'winter deal' is now fully booked, so got another one - £12 more - just because I was stupid
