    Good morning all. Cold but bright here this morning.

    Snap - I'm glad you had a nice birthday with Fourp.

    Bananababe - congrats on another exam pass!

    Bubbs - well done on the six weeks non-smoking barrier!

    Hello and welcome to all newbies. (I still feel like one most of the time)

    Have a great day all.

    Morning all.

    I think even the coal delivery chap has been on a customer awareness course - he knocked on the door and made pleasantries and polite chit chat while giving me the bill (still painful), made sure he was putting the coal bags in the correct place - all the time I am stood in my dressing gown, trying to hold onto my dignity and hoping he wouldn't notice the rank smell as I had not even made it to the shower at that time in the morning ....:rotfl:

    Suggestions please as to what we can do with ourselves in the Lake District midweek in March – 2 adults with a small budget

    What I usually do when we are planning a few days away is to book the accommodation and then I use livingsocial, groupon, wowcher and other deals sites like Deal Zippy for activities and nice meals out etc all within close proximity. But this time I can’t find anything on any of these websites anywhere close to so I am a bit stuck for inspiration.

    Last year we did 3 midweek breaks using a combination of deals so we explored new places and did things we would not normally consider doing, had some nice meals and afternoon teas along the way, all were resounding successes but this time I am at a loss.

    We like quirky interesting places, not touristy, maybe off the beaten track, also very much into history and ruins although OH is not a keen walker. We also try not to go to places we went to when the kids were at home so we are always treading new ground
    I was looking at the lakes Distillery but then I thought I don’t like whisky!
    I’ve not renewed any of my membership cards yet this year – National trust, English heritage, Hi Life, Taste card.

    We will be based in Patterdale so I’ve started by looking at keswick and Kendal – both seem to have Greggs and Weatherspoons which my OH likes( he is very conservative in his tastes, using deals is the only way I can get him away from these places).

    Any suggestions please?

    Don't think I've seen this posted yet. Again, thanks to the dark side - cheap breakfast (if you have a big appetite 10 items then go up again :eek:) at BHS. Ideal for anyone going into town this weekend. Excludes drinks

    Morning everyone :wave: not been around for a while, hope you are all well :)
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    Weight loss 3 stone :D
