    Right after making an error earlier I'm going to find a dark room and lie down! New figure is £4,937.29 amount paid off is 34.63%

    I'm never ever going away with 13 other people again keep finding bruises all over my body!

    Leaving Liverpool at 7.20 am on Saturday, Land in Amsterdam at 10am straight to the pub! Breakfast, drop bags off, pubs, pubs, food, me passing out, out again, crawl into bed at 12. Sunday wake up, pack, pub, breakfast, pub cafe (well I had to see!), pub, pick up bags, pub fly home at 10pm last night, bed at 1am after dropping a load of people!

    One of those weekends!

    That sounds like an AWESOME weekend... I can see why you're hanging and those pub cafes are something huh?! xxx

    The whole thing was just surreal, certainly taught me a lot about the different culture! Though I'm surprised anything ever gets done out there!

    Tell you what though we don't half have a lot to learn from them!

    haha love it! My boyfriend is a dutchman and yes it is crazy how anything does get done over there but I am yet to meet a horrible dutch person :)

    My mum and dad went last month to Amsterdam for the first time, they loved it and went into the pub cafe things... mum said it was the best she slept after that! xxx

    A friend decided instead of paying a load of money for a party at home he would rather have a weekend away so we all got flights and accommodation paid for. All we had to do was get there. Hence why we have holiday money left over. Bought quite a few drinks! It was coined the Birthday boys 40th - 40 hours of madness seeing as we were flying and all in the airport for around 40 hours as well!

    The dutch are so nice, but by heck they love their pastries! If we hadn't walked so much I could easily put a stone on with all the hot chocolate and pastries I've had!
