I actually looked at Hull fly but wasn't sure so reverted to the old favourite.
I don't take the car will probably have a taxi for this trip as too much stuff when daughter is with us.

What's it like shopping/sight seeing wise in Hull?

Good on both accounts OC. Also, Premier Inn(Opposite 'The Deep') is only 5/10 mins walk into the centre.
Over 90% of all computer problems can be traced back to the interface between the keyboard and the chair

Finally given up the booze and fags so out of rehab next month then New Zealand for 6 weeks.
They say giving up makes you live longer.  Don't believe it, it just seems longer.

Good man. I was beginning to think that Roberts was Welsh for kamikaze...
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Even as we speak Pam I have a Nicorette microtab under my tongue - tastes bloody awful..

Booze sorted by accident. Had acupuncture to stop smoking but it stopped me drinking...  :-?

Thanks for the comments. (Pete, the Welsh is Allllllcoholig ).

When I finish my rehab I calculate that I will have saved £3,640 on booze and £1,908 on fags, more than enough to get me away.

When we have the next meet up you can laugh at the guy drinking the funny green drink (Soda and Lime) but you will save money as it will only cost you 60p to buy me a drink.

Have just booked a Sun Tokens holiday for July to Hunstanton.  It's not far from the Norfolk Lavender fields which are a photographer's dream, so I can't wait for that.

We decided not to drive too far this year.  In the past we've done Dorset, Cornwall and Devon with the Sun Tokens, but it's a hell of a drive to get there and back as we seem to tire quicker these days.  Stopping off half way in a hotel gets expensive, so this year we thought we'd try somewhere within a three hour drive.

Have started my first jolly of 2016. Am currently sat in Kuala Lumpur airport. It's about 8 o'clock at night and the temperature is in the 30's. (What a time to give up drinking, I could murder a cold one at the moment). Ah well only another 14 hours to go to my final destination.
PS, don't forget to put your cardies on tomorrow http://chesterfieldonline.org/Smileys/akyhne/snarl.gif

Finally made it to New Zealand.  After 12 hours solid sleep I've spent the whole day in shorts as is only in the high 20's today.   It's a hard life but someone has to do it.
