    I have to say it had one of the best beds I've ever slept in.

    We've recently bought a Premier Inn mattress! We stayed in a local one for 2 nights when we had a gas leak back in the winter, and the bed was certainly wonderful :)

    I spent a couple of months in a Premier Inn, including over Christmas, in 2005. Some b@stard even sent me a Christmas card there!:rotfl:


    You weren't one of the Buncefield evacuees were you? There were lots of people in that situation that year.

    You can buy the Premier Inn bed. I may do it when we move.

    I had to move to be near my elderly Parents. Although I own several other Properties, none were close by. I actually rented for the next four years and oddly made a profit out of the experience!

    A friend's daughter in law recently completedagraduate training scheme with premier inn. Sound like she has had a great experience, and has recently been involved in opening a couple of new hotels and has been appointed manager of one.

    Friend does mystery shopping for them and is very impressed with their quality standards, I think if she finds three hairs in the bathroom the hotel fails.

    We recently stayed at a Premier Inn when we went to a christening in Gtr Manchester.

    I lost one of my favourite pair of earrings (i.e. one of the pair) while we were there. It fell on the hotel room floor and we were quite unable to spot it among the busy pattern on the carpet!

    I stayed at the one in Retford a few times and had an excellent experience. No frills but cheap, clean, very comfortable and good service.

    Premier Inn North Terminal is a great, cheap hotel if anyone is flying out of Gatwick. We previously stayed at the Arora, which was much more expensive.

    Who has their tree up?

    We bought one on Saturday - it is still naked. I bought some lights earlier but CBA to put them on.

    I'm too busy looking at brussel sprout baubles online :o

    Ours not done, was supposed to be this weeked but kids were told it wouldn't happen till they cleared up junk and did homework...so it hasn't happened.

    Did want to get a 9 foot tree this year but the 300+ price tag was a bit off-putting for an artificial, I do like real ones but am a bit allergic and it seems pretty un-eviromental.
    I think....
