    Hi MuffinTops, London Eye by night would make a great gift for our DD, I'm just looking up any offers. Thanks for posting about it.

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Hello Tilly,
    I'll add this to your diary too but there is currently a 2 for 1 deal going on if you travel by train (doesn't give the discount with an oyster, you need a train ticket with the little rail symbol on it). I'll find the link and pm you.

    Thank you ztan. I'm having a lot of fun juggling mortgage OP's and finding cheap events to enjoy. I'm always happy to share ideas.
  • Hello,

    Your mum is a very lucky lady and I am sure she knows it. Well done you.

    Well last night was lovely. I sorted the Eye tickets and had them printed off so when C arrived a little late it was no trouble as we had everything we needed. If anyone goes to the Eye I recommend you buy tickets with the Print@Home selection if you have a printer. So easy!

    Going around the Eye was lovely. We had a 6:30pm appointment so the day was light enough to see clearly for miles but as it was dusk there were lots of things lit up and it was all just beautiful. I loved it.

    From there he had booked us dinner at a really nice restaurant. Coincidentally it was the hotel I waited outside for the London Time Tour bus on Sunday, so knew exactly where we needed to go. I've been so lucky recently as the restaurants I've been to have had great service and last night was no exception. The service was outstanding. The food was great and C's company is always brilliant. So a perfect evening. C paid for dinner and said he was shocked that the bill was a lot lower than he expected so a bonus all round! :D

    I've not seen C since he bought me tickets to the Olympics back in July so a well overdue meet up. He's also told me about a few unique places that I'm going to look up and see if they're worth trying out.

    Tonight will be a quiet one as I got home quite late last night and need an early night to catch up. I have nothing planned and have been loaned a book I'd like to get started on so that's my evening sorted! :)

    Happy Hump Day! Is it really the middle of the week already? Nice blue skies and not such a biting wind out there too, so I'm feeling really upbeat! Bring on the day! ;)

    Loving the positivity :T. Blue skies here so think I will join you :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    It's good to hear others are feeling positive and happy too. Makes me feel like the whole upbeat atmosphere will last.

    My quiet and restful evening has just been taken. Work have asked me to do more overtime tonight and as OT = OP I'm happy to do it. It's going to be a really long day as I was at my desk at 7:30am and probably won't leave until 10pm, but it really is worth it. May even get dinner paid for me too! Hmm, I wonder if they'd give me the money instead??? :D

    2nd buyer on eBay paid so I have another few pounds to request and send off to mortgage OP.

    Food time!
