well i have found the place on google maps and am looking at nearby hotels Very Happy

aww newby, isn't it horrible being sensible? Sad

your kids have a lot to be happy for Wink

**Sausages** Mon Sep 28, 2009 12:45 pm

Sensible sucks! Mad

I've been sensible all my life and look where it got me! Time to be a tad crazy, I think...

I'll wear black socks with trainers tomorrow Evil or Very Mad

Go on, be wild, I dare you!!

ha ha! I'll have the fashion police after me! silent

I do think, though, that being sensible isn't all it's cracked up to be. I mean, sure, you have to meet your mortgage payments, and your household bills, and debts etc. But why save for a rainy day? It's always raining in England! Spend what you can, when you can, I say. So long as you meet your regular payments, stuff the rest of it!

And that's really not a sensible thing to say, but tough Razz

I actually think that is the MOST sensible thing to say and I really couldn't agree more. Very Happy

Right, I must away to college and then work I'm afraid. Hope to catch up again later. *note to self... no blood to be spilt at work this afternoon.... least none that belongs to the four foots anyway* Wink

Good luck at work, Newby! Hope you come out of it without any battle wounds at the end of the day! pirat

Afternoon all. Smile

**vickyxxx** Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:28 pm

afternoon lovelies Very Happy

i dont do sensible,which is probably why im always broke but im also pretty much always happy Smile

**ian_d** Mon Sep 28, 2009 2:38 pm

I occasionally do sensible, it's crap. Laughing

Who wants to go to the supermarket for me? Sad

**Sausages** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:00 pm

Sometimes we do need to be sensible, but I've come to realise that sensible is boring. Why go to the grave having been sensible - but bored - all your life, when you can go out happy?

Ian, one of the sensible things that *must* be done is going to the supermarket to buy food in order to stay alive so you *can* enjoy the rest of your time! So go!

**ian_d** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:09 pm

Could I just buy chocolate? Very Happy

**Sausages** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:27 pm

I suppose. It won't kill you - or I'd be dead many years ago! Laughing

**Newby** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:31 pm

buying chocolate is very much allowed and should be actively encouraged. I finished college early and went into work to see if I could cope starting an hour early (unpaid of course) decided after 30 seconds it was a bad idea. Have come home for what now amounts to be 10 minutes so I can enjoy my chicken wrap in peace. Shame I've got to go back, it's sunny here and I could have a lovely afternoon out in the garden with the animals.

**Sausages** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:33 pm

I suppose pulling a sickie an hour after you first appeared and disappeared from work would be a bad idea? Laughing

**ian_d** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:35 pm

Chocolate it is then, and I'll buy stuff to cook for dinner tonight.

Lasagne and potato wedges sounds like a good idea to me.

**Newby** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:37 pm

hmm I do think the idea may be flawed slightly; possibly something to do with me being symptom free an hour ago? Laughing

bugger, it was a good plan too, now I've wrecked it. Rolling Eyes

Lasagne is good, potato wedges with it is bad. Salad is good. Very Happy

**Newby** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:40 pm

right, that's 8 minutes gone and it will take me two to lock he house and get back to the car, so time to say bye again. Sad

Have a good afternoon all. Very Happy

**Strive** Mon Sep 28, 2009 3:43 pm

hello people.

have found a hotel near edinburgh zoo which will do 2 aduts and 2 kids for 2 nights for £158 total. kids eat breakfast free it says. and it has a swimming pool. was considering a hotel near the party in the borders (like peebles) but think it would make more sense to have a late night but be closer to the zoo. rather than having to waste valuble zoo time travelling to the zoo. bounce

have emailed other half, but hope he's up for it. i used expedia. pretty good. all the other hotels were way over 200 quid and they were awkward about kids.

**ian_d** Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:16 pm

Hotels in edinburgh can be quite expensive.

Have you had a look to see if there any suitable B&Bs just outside of edinburgh?

**Strive** Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:26 pm

hello ian

it's the edinburgh park novotel, not the dead centre one i think Smile

i shall have a look at b&bs. was just thinking the privacy of a indoor pool would be nice for my kids. and i am am prepared to go hungry as long as they eat for free Embarassed

**Sausages** Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:30 pm

If you're only there for a night and a day, do you really think they'll get much use out of a pool? I think Ian's cheaper B&B option is a good one Very Happy

**ian_d** Mon Sep 28, 2009 4:34 pm

Ah, that's reasonably near the zoo too, 2 or 3 miles away at most, with I think only 2 roundabouts.

I don't know if that bit of the town is being cocked up by the tram works just now though. Suspect
