Sorry Sunflower, I think this was over a few weeks ago and several of us were sent some vouchers through the post. Can't for the life of me remember what the offer was though..:o

Ok, thanks for letting me know

Great tip, I nearly always get a mushroom as a filler. Now it'll be minus the stem - cheers

That was the plan bubbs, but to drive about 110 which would be about half way. Nice bed and full English in the morning doesn't seem to do it for me. I just panic at the thought of driving all that way.

No chance of sharing the drive DH is like yours, he just does not drive. It's times like this when I need another driver :mad:
