    When is your baby due Starnac?

    That sounds like a good deal Poddle, would prob be worth it for £15 a month.

    Birdie - personally i think it will be fine and I am guessing they are keeping up the heavy police presence as OH is working the weekend. It is obviously your choice though and if you will feel OK.

    Just got some m and s vouchers from my credit card so will save them for buying Poppy clothes and also got a letter from natwest to say i won't have a graduate account after sept as i finished 3 years ago! Where did that time go?

    I think we'll be OK so we'll go unless it all goes mental on Thursday night, there are 5 restaurants in the hotel so we can stay there in the evening to feel a little more secure than being out and about. Would like to see people trying to mug my Mum anyway, she'll have their guts for garters! ;)

    Goods news about the vouchers Wendz, a bit scary to realise that 3 years has flown by since you graduated!

    £15 a month for the gym is really good Poddle, a few classes and you'll have got your money's worth straight away! Good news about the interview too! :)

    Ahhh we're going to have so many new babies here! :)

    Chased up my tickets for Buckingham Palace at lunch time as nothing had arrived (it's only a blinkin' e-ticket, how difficult can it be?!) and just now received an update e-mail from them saying that actually Friday is sold out and do I fancy Monday? No I bloody don't fancy Monday, if I wanted Monday I'd have booked Monday! :mad: So I'm getting a refund and we can't go. Brilliant. :( On the upside I've found out that our hotel is a stone's throw from the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum so at least we're close to some free entertainment. But it's not a pretty dress.

    Afternoon everyone, had a manic day at work so only just caught up - you know you're busy when you don't get on MSE til 4pm! Glad everyone is ok after last night, there were loads of rumours flying around on Fbook that bits of my town were on fire but they were all rubbish, there were more kids loitering around than usual and more police. Saw one group getting moved on at about 11.45pm and they had a baby with them in a pushchair :(

    We were on our way back from the cinema at the time, saw Super 8 which was good, not really what I expected but I enjoyed it. Only £2.90 on a Tuesday too, think we're going to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes next week as OH has an obsession with monkeys.

    Sorry to hear about Buckingham Palace Birdie, that is rubbish. We did the two museums last Nov and I loved the Natural History one, could've spent hours in there! V&A is close too although I think you said you'd been there before?

    What a shame Birdie! Hope you get to go back another time.

    starnac - aww very exciting! 5th nov sounds a good compromise hehe. I think i was one of the very lucky ones to have baby early.

    Another day, another £7.24 towards the challenge - I'm never going to be a winner, but secretly pleased with myself :p

    Sorry you're not going to get in Buck House, Birdie, that is a shame! But there are lots of nice things to do around Kensington, so hope you have a fab time anyway. Did you see the Peacocks version of Kate's dress? You could try to see that...? ;)

    How's everyone doing today? x
