Thanks CW - we haven't had any rain but it'd definitely colder. I don't want frost or snow - not good for my veggies
On the plus side, roads are a lot quieter now the kids are off - I finish on Thursday for 10 days - off to Hilton in Edinburgh next week courtesy of Clubcard vouchers.
We had a lovely birthday meal at Italian restaurant yesterday for DD1 - all 11 of us really enjoyed it
No shopping/couponing for me today but I have some CS's I need to use this week for T's and A's.

Would love to know how your stay went jeferey and total costs with T's as an option if fancy abit of posh I had a good stay in a travelodge in Edinburgh pretty central basic and cheap handy for visiting family. Have a great time and fill me in when you get back are you using the tesco clubcard vouchers for meals out also, although we making good use of the DMR tastecard atm trying to use the ones with 50% rather than the 2for1 but handy having tesco for fri/sat as these tend to be excluded on tastecard;)

Happy Birthday:bdaycake:to DD1 glad you had a lovely meal out:T

Thanks AH - will do. We went last year and had 2 rooms so we could have DD1 and DD2 in one while we had FD in ours. We ended up being upgraded to a Junior Suite after first night which was lush due to an incident with a shower and DD2.

The breakfast was ace and I think it cost £112.50 in CC vouchers for 2 rooms B&B for 2 nights at Easter. Used Family and Friends Railcard (which I got for half price through DM) which made 2 1/2 hour train journey under £100 from memory, it's better than me driving 240 mile each way with 3 kids and OH in car, getting there kn4ckered and then having to pay to park plus DD1 doesn't travel long distances in a car too well (sick). Diesel alone would be over £60 so easy decision for me

Really looking forward to it - we've got £50 CC deals vouchers to use at Camera Obscura which gets great reviews.

pair tomorrow if they are....

Sounds great value not sure where the Hilton is situated but they have a fantastic bus service that is really cheap for getting around without car and paying parking costs;). The Camera Obscura sounds brill never knew about this:beer:

I know Bully...I am really thrilled and I would not have got them without the help of you guys especially Blue :A :T:T:T

I am going to put them in my Christmas fund for the children I would feel very guilty spending them on me
