I've got a hen weekend to go to in Newcastle in March. There are 22 of us in total. I think I know about a dozen. It is friends from work which I know would horrify some people but we all get on really well.

It's my first girly weekend in years and I ridiculously excited .

I'm going with my mum to the Chelsea FLower Show. I did it last year and it was so much fun we're going again. I get to travel down by train (on my own with magazines, cakes and tea - bliss), stay with my best friend for a couple of nights, have a lovely day with my mum and then dinner with my girlfriends then back the next day.

Ooh I've always wanted to go to Newcastle , it's meant to be ace for nightlife

[feedthegoat]

Thats what we're hoping for compo! A few extras are just coming for the day and are going to catch the last train home but we've booked a hotel. We've already had the scrum over who is prepared to share beds with who. I got my outfit this week and I can't wait now!

I don't like Newcastle.

Deffo London - go for afternoon tea and hit the shops; mooch around the V&A; go to the portrait and photography galleries (good for cake too).

Not a weekend away but me and friend are going to Lady's Day at the races this summer.

Going to Lisbon for a few days in May with a mate, and to Corfu for a week in August with another mate. There are some upsides to single parenthood...
