    I just realised I have £31.34 in paypal (just withdrawn to my back account). £50 in yougov (need to withdraw) and have £38 due to be paid from one of the MS companies. YEY! :j Early christmas pressie for me I feel.

    Unfortunately I'm still in the red in my current account though. I refuse to take money out of my ISA to replace it though. I'll be back in black next month I reckon...it was OH's birthday that put me in the red. Boo.

    Was well worth it though. He was really surprised and said he had a lovely time. Yey!

    It was AMAZING! The breakfast was lovely, the bathroom was AMAZING (with it's 2 person bath and massage shower (also fit 2 people in easily). The bed and floor were covered in rose petals and there was champers and chocs on the bed. Brilliant. OH was made up! :D

    Excellent. Hoping to go back to the Lakes for some walking next year so I may consider it, it may be the thing that gets OH there (he doesn't really like camping).

    I don't understand why people don't like camping. It's awesome. I'm thinking we probably won't get back there for a good old while now - what with us going down to Wales all the time. Not that I'm complaining.
