Hmm, well I'm the last person to be able to offer any financial advice so I'll pass on that:(. I'm sure others will have good advice though.
I envy your access to so many excellent museums and interesting exhibitions. Whatever it costs you today will be money well spent and I hope you have a wonderful time:beer:. Nourishment for the soul is priceless IMO.

Aww CBC - that was so sweet of you to 'track me down' - I've been over to yours regularly reading (using my mobile) but it is a pitb to try and post on the forums from the phone!
KC - the post was nowt much to read - lol - just me wittering on about food as usual as keeping to a budget in that department is my biggest challenge - especially as food prices continue to creep up & I'm pre-destined to be a bit of a hoarder, coming from more wintery climes!

We haven't got much planned in the way of days out until the spring. Since we retired, we've been fortunate to have a holiday each year in February or March, so we haven't got into the habit of booking any outings at this time of the year. This year we haven't got a holiday booked until May
It will be really dull if we sit here until April without any days out at all, so I will have to have a look and see if there's anything we fancy doing.
If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough
Thanks both - I have to say, it was **fantastic** - I hadn't mentioned it before, I wasn't too sure about it, but it was just as witty and just as pointed as Ian himself on HIGNFY - there are little shots of him wandering about the nearby streets and homing in on the museum too, it was adorable :rotfl:
Don't worry about financial advice CBC - its all over the forum, after all!

I did thanks, CR - I even had enough energy left at my train station to not run for the train, but instead take the next one to have a little wander around the shops I haven't been to for years. Felt like I'd rejoined the human race.
