    Wait till Nelski gets back from the hen weekend she's on at the moment and I'm sure she'll be up for joining you :D The Trafford Centre is I think her second favourite place in the whole world after Cheshire Oaks :D

    I live 20 minutes away from Cheshire Oaks :D:D:D

    Thank you everyone, i really am thrilled with my win, just wish i had them now!!! Lady said they would be with me in a few weeks - once i have them i will be able to see if i can use them on line, but must admit, i do love the idea of swanning around the shop feeling rich - when we went to London years ago we went in and felt a bit scruffy and poor, so i would love to go in feeling like i was allowed there!!!

    Merlot - I hadnt thought about selling them, that might be a good idea!!!

    Charlies mum - i enter hundreds of competitions every week, i would say i only have a small win rate compared to how many i enter, but every now and again a desent win arrives and makes it all worth it!!

    Rzl - will have to look into that sort of accomadation when i know when we are coming up, hadnt thought of that sort of place!! Im looking forward to trying the museums if we do come up!

    Hester - dont think much of your work collegues not letting you know about the chinese, enjoy your wine and early night!!

    Jackie - would raise a glass but im not drinking at the mo, but will raise a virtual one instead, have a lovely holiday as well, you deserve it xx

    I still havnt caught up properly, but have a lovely evening everyone!!!

    Evening all, I have a bottle of Cava opened, a glass poured all ready to raise for JackieO but it sems to be evaporating. :rolleyes: I think I'll have to put earplugs in at 7.59 and 59 secs. I think I would here the CHEERS from every-one !!!!!

    Candygirl the same happened to my Dad, in the end he dug his heels in and refused to be tested on, saying he would rather go coherent than doped up.
    Thinking of you and your Dear Dad. xx

    CRANKY40 - I live nowhere near Cheshire Oaks, but while visiting Nelski recently I managed to blow the whole clothing budget for 2008 there :o and got such fantastic value for money.

    catowen - there's also a hotel deal in Hoxton which often comes up on Martin's weekly email... amazingly cheap hotel rooms. Not the right bit of town for Harrods but let's face it you'll probably need to invest in transport tickets anyway, so not a great difference. There's a family deal ticket you can get for daily unlimited travel on the tube (think it's: buy a Day Travelcard, get the same for your kids for £1... or something...)

    OK, confession coming up... it's nearly 8pm and the glass of wine in front of me is the last glass of the bottle, not the first...
