Hi PaP - Slimbridge is open all year, so there will be other chances - and it's not too far from you, so just concentrate on getting rid of your cold.
I'm suffering myself, but it's 'hayfever' so I can control it with tablets.
Take care, PaP. :beer:I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Hi all, thanks for the encouragement. Unsure id huge losses like that will last but as long as I lose 2lbs a week I am not too bothered. Rog I did go to slimbridge and loved it, as always some pics for you... this is an albino frog, its a new exhibt there called toad hall
and this is your classic awwww picture of some ducklings
Ohh and I also wanted to share this. I hardly ever purchase anything in the shop on the way out and if I do its usually bird seed or a pencil but I saw this great bag... on futher inspection they also has purses/wallents. Now I have seen tutorials on the web to make these yourself and I will try one eventually but I had to have one. Now my weekly budget didnt allow for the big shopper (tomato sauce) I wanted but I managed to buy a purse (milk-o blue cow). I have found them on the internet though so I will be buying the shopper on payday :rotfl: the best bit though is they are made buy a womans cooperative in the philippines, so not only is it recycling waste but giving them some money too 0 -

indeed they are raph, and they are really strong too, I tested the bag in the shop. Also I dont think they are that expensive, yes they are when you think you can get a shopper in asda and the like for pence but they arnt saving the planet are they
anyways I will be getting the tomato shopper on payday... ohh and I may just buy a lunch bag too, just to get free delivery you understand
