    We went one better and bought some cheap fizz, mixed it with orange juice to make us some bucks fizz to drink! We celebrated the fixing (oh dear God let it be fixed) of the toilet! Time for bed in a wee while though...up early tomorrow to start the tiling after OH gets back from the dentist.

    That does mean I have to get up in order to get him up to go mind!!! :rotfl:

    Ok so here is my vote order (1 is top of the list)

    1. Fairfield - I like the idea of loft space but I REALLY like the sound of the airspa bath and rain shower, plus you had a reply
    2. Boundary - Lovely room, bit of history that isn't to do with Beatrix Potter, you had an email and they have the rain shower, bath and in case it gets cold or your feet do...under floor heating. (Only 2nd because of the hobbs room which looks nicer)
    3. Number 80 - I like the room even though the decor is plain and it is a good price
    4. Laurel - not much separating this from Number 80, price is good but preferred the other room
    5. 1 Parkroad - they may have replied but I can't find a pic of the room, I may be being thick. Even if I aam it is not easy to navigate and for that price it should be.

    Is this for OH birthday? If so and money is not an option I would go for 1 or 2 and if it will be cold then go for the underfloor heating. There is nothing worse than getting out of a lovely warm bath and getting cold feet.

    It's for DH's 40th and our 2nd wedding anniversary. We've had a tough old time over the last few years and very very few indulgences (except the honeymoon and going back to visit where I used to live in the US - but that was on the cheap). So I really want to make it special for him.

    None of his mates turned up to our wedding so I want to get him away for the weekend so he can't even worry about it.
