    Yes. You could get a reasonable bottle of champagne for less than £20 as well to have before you go out. Or maybe get some coke!
    And if, you know, your history...

    Naughty is nice though. Hope you have a great time - I'm sure he'll appreciate the effort.

    Hi Jellyhead

    Have you thought of trying to get a free room under the days inn offer in Manchester then you have got more money to spend? I have done it twice.
    Have a look on daysinn.co.uk.

    They quote 75 a night for a double if you can find it cheaper you get the night free.
    But if ever I stray from the path I follow
    Take me down to the English Channel
    Throw me in where the water is shallow And then drag me on back to shore!
    'Cos love is free and life is cheap As long as I've got me a place to sleep
    Clothes on my back and some food to eat I can't ask for anything more

    I live in Manchester- why on earth do you want to come here? We do have a little wheel and a temporary ice rink in the town centre at present but London is soo exciting I can't imagine your fascination. Is your BF a United supporter? There is a nice hotel called The Waterside hotel with the Galleon Health Club in Didsbury, I go to the gym there,but I don't know the price. Also would going somewhere on the coach be cheaper,Megabus might have a good price and leave you more money to spend. Whatever you do have a great time!
    earn what you can, save what you can, give what you can :hello:
