    Evening all :wave: :wave:

    Planning on staying up all night - well at least till midday tomorrow to make the £15 i have just had to pay to check my emails in the hotel worth while:mad: course they wont let you go on for an hour it has to be 12 till 12 - what a fantastic license to print money - I loooooove the Hilton:rolleyes: ( and to make matters worse I had to do the same on Tues as well so its actually 30 quid - more than a months worth with my isp on my home pc:eek: )

    Had a great week work wise great group and lots of fun - the weather is mad down here though, a tornado of all things just up the road - you dont get them in Warrington:rotfl:

    Back home tomorrow then off to see a Classical Spectacular concert at the MEN with my folks on Saturday - its supposed to be amazing (blimey even im getting worried about me - ballet last week classical this must be getting old!) We have treated ourselves to a stay at the new Hilton in Manchester (23 floors up:eek: ) so looking forward to that. All these Hilton stays do pay off though - Ive just booked 3 nights in Prague Hilton again with my bessy mate for June and got it for free:T she managed to get the flights for 70 quid so its 5 star luxury in prague cheaper than a b and b in Blackpool:D Happy Days.

    So dinner tonight will be something off the room service menu cos im looking forward to a feet up telly, pjs and a wee glass of wine night. (and lots of internet of course to get at least some valu:rolleyes: )

    Anyway have a great rest of your evening all and ill report back later on the wonderful quality of room service:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    Hugs Nels

    Hiya from me tooooooo.....!

    Nelski likes to rub it in, doesn't she! :rolleyes:

    Got home about an hour ago - what a day! :eek: Surveys this morning disrupted by heavy rain and winds... But then a nice lunch on company's expenses. Warm and cosy...:p

    This evening will eat "light". Fruit and yoghurt.

    Tomorrow more surveys but will be home early and I want to start on clearing out my wardrobe - plenty of good clothes to look through and sort out for the charity shop. I need space in my cramped flat!

    :)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    I know what you mean about Hilton stays. We had a 3 day weekend in Amsterdam in September because of all the nights away with work I do in them. DH loves it when we can get one in.

    Love the avatar squishy - it's so cute!
    I'm off to bed now, having spent almost all day on here! Yikes!!!!
    Thanks for the warm welcome back's and helo's.
    Love to everyone, and Nelski, your post made me chuckle - the image of you with your gorgeouse blue hair demanding internet access in the Hilton while turning down the spa/champagne just made me giggle (and trust me, that was quite an achievment today)
    Anyway, BM on (well, I had to do something to justiify my place on OS ;-))
    Dishwasher on
    Positive attitude and a good F/L session ordered for the day tomorrow.
    G'night all,

    Nelski, do you live in Warrington? I was born there!
    We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment
