Tee hee - you're definitely not alone OMO . Think your London plans are fab btw, I'm surprised it didn't take even longer to get it all planned out, especially getting the deals as well. Bet you'll have a fantastic time.

I did nothing else, bar going to work, for the whole week.

Once we had decided what we wanted to do, I wrote everything down on small pieces of paper and placed them on a street map of London.
I then made the day plans. Doing this meant we would not be travelling all over the city to get from one place to another.

I did walk away a few times, and say some nasty words.:rotfl:

Most of deals come from the 241 train offers, and the dinners are nearly all tastecard offers.

There are still things I am umming over. I would love to have scones and tea at Fortnums, but it will cost as much as an evening meal. :eek:

He hates golf, awkward git. Trips are a good idea, I'm already taking him and Mum out for dinner for their Christmas present. Struggling to think of trips and things we can go to when OH and I visit though, they live in the sort of area where people visit specifically to do not much at all!

I think he likes/liked music when he was about my age, but already has the entire catalogue of the bands I know he likes anyway. Concert tickets for those bands are only if I won the lottery prices. Just now I thought of maybe guitar lessons, might attempt very MSE roping in of my brother to just teach him!

Ooh hey, I might sound him out to see if he'd ever fancy going to anything like a cheap local gig or open mic night, then if so I can make vouchers for us to go when I'm there. Cheers, you inspired me!

I think I'm going to start an "ideas book" for gifts, then if I have an idea I can put it in there and if I get stuck for someone can check the book and see if I've had any ideas before or they've mentioned anything. Does anyone else do this, and what way do you do it?

Freespirit66 - argh! I meant b!tching! Not the thing with car parks! :rotfl:

Ha i just logged on, it has made me giggle, i did think oh thats a new term for it :rotfl:
