    If you don't want to travel so far, have you considered Edinburgh?
    We've just come back from a weekend there and it was brilliant, there was so much to do/see and everyone was so friendly. 2 days wasn't long enough, we'll definitely go back for longer next time.
    Flights to/from Stansted (a little over an hour) cost less than £60 each, but we saw flights to/from all London Airports on the board.

    Thanks all, some great suggestions and lots of thinking for me to do. Without being boring, my other option was to do London for the weekend as she's into musicals and 'The West End'

    Any advice on London? Cheap but nice places to stay? What to do?

    Have you any connection to the armed forces, the police, fire service or civil service? If so, and they're the right connections, I can point you to discounted accom in a couple of very good locations.
  • Rome is good, we're going to Nice on Saturday that's been £350 each

    Some of the sites we've seen good deals on are

    travel zoo
    easy jet holidays
    low cost holidays

    You need to decide on what temperature your happy with.
    The cheaper operators like ryanair fly to Rome florence and the weather there could be ok, pleasant. Or would you cope with something colder?
