    The dongle thingy is fabulous!! Wish I had got one yonks ago :o

    Racing for today is over, and we are safely ensconsed in the travel inn nearby. There is a beefeater type thing next door which does cheap meals if you eat before 6.30. Given that the children want to be back in the room by then to watch Dr Who, I think we can take advantage of that one! Yummy!!

    DFW wise, it was bloomin freezing where we were, so although I took a flask of coffee, I did buy a few hot drinks for us in the coffee shop, so have spent a little more than intended, but foodwise, our pack ups were more than plenty so no problems there.

    I hope you have all had a good day!

    Well work received a shipment of dongles described as "Doogles".

    All of us started humming the theme tune to the Magic Roundabout everytime the bag was opened...

    The place I am staying at offers a "Good Night's Sleep Guarantee"........if my sleep is disturbed because I am humming Magic Roundabout in my head, do you think that counts for a refund :confused:

    Just had an excellent meal in the restaurant for a bargain price - I had steak and salad (very good for the diet, had no chips so got extra yummy salad) for £5.99......after 6.30 it doubles in price!

    Just me and the kids.......if OH were here, the whole travel inn would get a refund under the "good night sleep guarantee" due to the loudness of his snoring :eek: Not good for business - he has probably been banned :rotfl:

    BOING !!! Time for bed...or will be soon as I'm FREEZING
    Got a cold-voice faded fast at work today so signed myself off sick and sent myself home....All of 5 steps.
    Have been waiting since 1pm for the gas to come out as my meter has failed-apparently there are "a lot of gas leaks in Kent today" hence the non arrival of engineer GRRRR Off to ring them AGAIN <sigh>
