    So, the only thing I did end up doing is a water change on the tanks which didn't take long. I've been playing on the xbox nearly all day now :smile: I've had to stop as my head is hurting :lol:

    Morning all.

    Not got much plans today thought about going to santander later but I'll just do it Friday whilst I'm in Cardiff. Plan on taking the dog on a walk later on, have to post some parcels also and I might wash the car if I can be bothered :lol: I do have to clean the house though as usual, busy busy!

    So, tried to book Alton Towers but failed as they're fully booked! So I've booked Thorpe Park instead. Got 2 for 1 voucher and then one fully paying adult so split across three of us was £30 each! :smiley:
