    Thankyou Tigz for texting me re. the ferry offer from the Sun, I have just booked the return ferry for £37 instead of the £110 the other ferry company charge, which would still have been £35 of tesco vouchers, but now I can use them for something better value :) I will try to have £37 left at the end of this month to cover the ferry cost.

    There are several places to go on the island that I can use my tesco vouchers for entry to, so will cash some in and then I should only really need to spend money on food and bits and bobs when we're there, a cheap Easter holidays this is already working out to be :T

    And its about time I owned up .... my weightloss is going completely the wrong way, I have just lost all motivation and I know its partly because of cutie but I really want to lose the weight but cant get focused, and the cold weather doesn't help, I need to eat stodge :o:o I have however not had any alcohol all year and also haven't bitten my nails either :D Well done to everyone else on their losses though :T

    Maybe your motivation can be another cutie? Men are like buses...another one will be along soon ;). Cutie will never know what he missed out on . I am recently single and there's no one on the horizon - not that I am too bothered at the moment - but it does wonders for my self-confidence if I'm in shape :)

    Great games win. I wish i could get my head around this match betting :o

    Yes, very much so. :D

    They are old, in poor condition, smell horrible, belch out horrible fumes all the time and take you for a ride. They're expensive to maintain, make strange noises regularly and often stop working for no apparent reason.

    I can see the similarity quite easily!

    BenBEn, I don't know if you can get a good deal but if you can the Railway Museum in York is doing a massive festival in half term in June. Loads of steam trains, chances to ride them , trips into driver cabs etc, etc. Tickets are expensive but it can be done as a day trip or an overnighter at most. Would be great for your son but also OK for you, great shopping and cafes in York.
