<<<Feel green when I'm definitely going!>>>

LOL Ruthie I will but at th emoment I am feeling green " just " about the fact you

are thinking about going.. My next " trip " out is to Basingstoke (mind that will

be fun as it is to visit a friend and her dh and another friend and her dh and

kids are coming to ;o) )

Lonnie Phoebe & Eloisa's mama

& expecting a Christmas delivery...

My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what you

start.

So far today, I have finished 2 bags of chips and a Chocolate cake.

I feel better already.

Do you stay with friends then? Because you only get about 1.4 USD to the

pound at the moment which means that to make 'financial sense' you'd

have to spend thousands to cover the cost of flights and hotels - and

they you'd have to pay VAT and duty when you bring it back into the UK.

Admittedly eating out can be cheaper than in the London, but as I don't

eat out every night at home I can't include that as a saving.
