    Yorkshirechick - I'll have to look out for the one at LBA. East End park is ridiculous for parking (lack of); Wetherby is a bit of a pain to get to (A1M) but is more car booty than markety and once we're at Wetherby, we tend to go on to visit Rufforth Park's boot sale as well (just cos we're in the area).

    LouiseJ - I was told by an image consultant to head towards the charity shops in the 'high income' areas of town as they usually have a better range of high quality clothing than the shops in the low-income areas! Some of my best buys have been from charity shops (one even had the original price tag still attached).

    Bathgate - where are you off to on your hols? 50 days will fly by x x

    I hope so! I'm off to LA courtesy of a prize win from back in October. I've been counting down the days from about 170 days or so - now it's a little over 7 weeks away (or to put it in MSE terms - 2 pay days away!). Luckily everything is covered in the prize right down to insurance and transfers so it's really spending and eating money I need to take, although we're staying in the 'Pretty Woman' Hotel so guess we'll be eating out each night!!!

    10 years has been a long time to wait for a holiday :eek:
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Oh Pania, have a coffe instead of trying to get hold of the banks:coffee:

    I have to confess that I always phone the lost&found number when I want to get to my bank (either that or the 'new account' option tends to work fairly fast!

    Thanks! Will drag Stu up there on Sunday for a look, and then we will get one done. I'll have to have a look in the spiderloft and see what's up there.
