Slattern, list makers and procrastinators, fudging our way into Feb - ..........

[ToccataAndFudge]

everyone welcome (and yes I'm taking a flipping liberty starting the new thread )

Have a look at these rooms

And the scenery here

hmmmmmmmmm I can dream for awhile I started looking for a cheap night away and ended at those although they do have some deals on

Thanks for clearing that up plum

Plum, I was there in July for a wedding, it is fabulous and the height of lixury!

Apologies, got so excited when I saw it that my spelling got very bad LUXURY

{blush], didnt realise the second link was different to the first, I was in Solis Lough Eske

although if I went I would be in the courtyard room, 1600 for presdential suite

A bit out of your price range then? The beds in solis are that big, that my sil had to get out of the bed and walk round to thump her husband for snoring .

Very nice Plum - makes me wonder when i can persuade PIL to have both boys and we can go on holiday somewhere.....

Hmm StreakyFreaky, could be my new name Only one streak, it's a very subtle tan so not too bad (just stinky)

I know someone who writes her list at the end of the day. She puts all the things she's done that day on it and then ticks each one!

It's her way of coping with 5 sons.

Campion - sounds like a plan

Lol StreakyFreaky!

Yeah its definitely the ticking bit I like the best

Can't face going back to my list

have done dinner
and cleared up
and did some ironing, while watching Who framed Rodger Rabbit with ds

He was telling me how much he loved watching bugs bunny in School at breaktimes (when weather bad) and I rememvered we had Rodger on video, he absolutely loved it
I went to see it in the cinema on my 11th birthday
