    Sounds great! When are we all coming round? :beer:

    You should definitely treat yourself to a swimming costume. Hope you have a lovely time whilst you're staying there :)
    Asda's 3 miles away... I might pick one up tomorrow. Too kn4ckered after the interrupted sleep, car loading, drive, unloading, driving to hotel, unloading... then a big walk in the hot sun.

    Pool's tiny in all honesty.... probably 10'x24'

    It's a foodfest today - spotting/looking, not eating. Walked round town, clocking what's there. Not sure I did the whole town, I had no idea where I was. I didn't know Ben & Jerrys had shops. Saw my first Wagamama, went in Primark, found Lidl and Wilkinsons, they've got two Bon Marche and a Peacocks (although there's the possibility I saw it from a different road and didn't realise). Just about every bank you can possibly imagine! Never seen so many banks.... and most all in one road. Also loads of jobs agencies.... typical jobs that I'd call "fairly low level, but requiring a bit of nouse, that I could stand a chance of getting" were priced at £8-9/hour.... so as that was just a glance in passing, there's hope of getting proper muneh for a proper job at some point. No rush though, is there.

    I went into Iceland - gobsmacked at the food they have in there!! Nearly bought something but it's frozen .... I have the use of a microwave and mini-grill in the kitchen, which is handy... and fridge space can be made for me if I need.

    I'm not really slumming it as this is a nice house in a nice road in a nice area. House'd probably cost £600-700k at a guess... and I can see Sandbanks if I pop down the road.

    I had a peek at the menu, brain registered: noodles, £8-10.... and I shuffled on :)

    I ended up getting a £1 chicken sandwich from the Co-Op.

    Me too. The ginger chicken udon is my favourite. I have to make myself try different things (but then I wish I had stuck with my old faithful).
