    Thanks wingo but nothing planned for the moment apart from staying at Carlisle on the 11th to see The Proclaimers which I got for £19 with Premier Inn. I am too scared to book much in advance in the Winter after having to cancel some things because of the weather in the past :(

    Love your rain pic FF!

    DD just been showing me some phones she would like for Xmas and they are only about £65 which is a nice surprise! Means she can get the prizes I have won and saved for her without it looking like she is getting too much. :D (Didn't realise the hairdryer I won a while ago was worth £100 and she is sure to look it up)
    Don't know what DS3 will want though and I have only Calvin Klein boxers for him that I bought with a voucher.

    DD was organsing her prezzies last night and writing a list of what she still had to buy! :eek: DH was at me this morning about what I would like - I am terrible to buy for and worse now that I win things.
    He is watching a DVD of Fawlty Towers just now, no matter how often you see them you have to laugh.

    I won a £100 Littlewoods Prize last Nov and spent it nearly all on jerseys for myself as there were 3 for 2 offers! :o (I did let DD pick one cardi) I still have loads of jerseys so thats another option for prezzies gone.
