    Brugge for a few days. Love the place.

    Never been but looks lovely. Did Bill Bryson write about it in one of his early books? Hope you have a good time :)

    Think I better not do this running total thing - I would get lifted!!!

    No seriously I would rather spend the wombles on grub etc and keep any excess money I might have in my offset mortgage account;)

    It is a very good idea though if coming up to the end date of the apg and can't think of anything to buy so good one:)

    Any APGs I get from glitches etc stay mine and keep food on table, but have decided wombles are excess and can save up. No decided whether for next xmas, a holiday or mortgage overpayment, maybe will see how I'm doing at end of month 1. Will add running total too

    If you womble and haven't got a Ipad or whatever and have to use your home computer/IP address, who's name and postal address do you use?

    I use mine, my sisters and my MIL's but, are they likely to trace the IP addresss and could you get prosecuted for wombling?

    My sada has an ipad and printer for you to use in store. Staff say either use the check@store email or just hit few random keys (now there's a novel idea, he..he..):D

    wendyak hope your OH is ok. When I had to stay in a Greek hospital for a couple of weeks my husband's firm made him use holidays to cover his extended stay! He couldn't fly home & just leave me!

    Bill Bryson 'It is a rare place. I walked for a day with my mouth open. I looked in at the Groeninge Museum and visited the famous Beguinage, its courtyard lawns swimming in daffodils, but mostly I just walked the streets, agog at such a concentration of perfection. Even the size of Bruges was perfect -- big enough to be a city, to have bookstores and interesting restaurants, but compact enough to feel contained and friendly. You could walk every street within its encircling canal in a day or so. I did just that and never once saw a street I wouldn't want to live on, a bar I wouldn't like to get to know, a view I wouldn't wish to call my own. It was hard to accept that the place was real -- that people came home to these houses every night and shopped in these shops and walked their dogs on these streets and went through life thinking that this is the way of the world.'

    Have a lovely few days away davemorton, guess we will all get a bit of a break too without the worry of you doing a davemorton (c). ;)

    Have a safe trip and you can do a dave (c) telling us all about it when you get back. :)

    Night all, one very sleepy Tinyshoes here. Very weird only my left eye wants to work, right eye has given up. :eek:

    Sleep well my friends. :):):)

    Could definitely use a glitch on healthy food right now!

    Wasn't too bothered about missing out on the choccies glitch as it was too dangerous!
