    Hi everyone,

    I am sitting here with sore feet and legs aching a bit as we have walked for hours today along the canal, into Morecambe and then bus to Lancaster and then walked back to hotel along river.
    We did loads of walking yesterday too when we went to see Aira Force waterfall and the daffodils where Wordsworth got the idea for his poem. Weather today even better than yesterday - had my coat off at one point!
    To answer the pudd fans we had coffee and mandarin gateau with cream last night. We booked in for dinner as we had such a cheap B&B deal and they only had a 3 course with coffee menu. We got huge portions as well and were naughty and had a bottle of wine.
    Felt we had spent more than normal but we got a discount as we were Platinum Best Western customers. (only because we are Gold with Holiday Inn) Anyway the bill was under £50 so not too bad.
    Brewers Fayre tonight - free dessert voucher to claim :D

    Well done on the lovely win Bella.

    Nice to have internet working here although it is slow.

    Not a great day today as i'm thoroughly peeved with work and even more peeved with the tax credits people who won't even think of helping me, seems that only one person can claim for the kids , unlesss both people do and it goes to a tribuneral and i've worked out she has them a grand total of 8hrs more over the whole week than i do, yet gets about 12K a year on top of her wages. Can see why people go on the dole.

    Rant over. Going to have a drink and sulk

    Nice to see rose and bella having a perv over BT engineers, well done the rest who had wins, better luck next time on those that didn't

    I does seem unfair sax especially when you both share the childcare too. Hope you manage to be able to compromise for the kids xx Good luck for a nice win to cheer you up!

    That sounds like my idea of pleasure Bella, nice hot bubble bath! ;)

    Sheils, glad you're enjoying it! I saw your fb pic of daffodils....lovely pic :) Is that where Wordsworth got his idea of wandering lonely as a cloud....etc, etc?

    As far as I can make out that pic is in the area of where Wordsworth based his poem wingo .

    Just been to Brewers Fayre and DHs steak was over cooked and no-one came near to check on anything or brought my desert. I went and made a fuss so got 2 large glasses of wine free. Felt that was fair enough. For the pudd enthusiasts I had a raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake.
