Booked a Christmas break!
Fed up with each year having to wait to see who will or who will not invite me to theirs for Christmas dinner, so have booked a four night break at Bournemouth!Off out to see the fireworks in a minute but will say more on my return.
Told my brother, and will tell the others later.
Just need to look into whether London train stations are open (I fear not!), so might have to book with National Express. Have already checked time and ticket prices.
Back after the display...
PS, this AIN'T going on Facebook!!

The holiday cost for single is £342, but does include Christmas lunch and dinner, and all bed, breakfast and evening meal.
Tomorrow I will go to the post office/shop down our market and buy a Senior Card. I'll save £6 in all, but will then have the card for later use. Then I'll book the coach tickets tomorrow. The train stations are definitely closed in London!
I'm satisfied now I've gone ahead and booked. I watched all the fireworks just now with a nice grin on my face!

Re: Booked a Christmas break!
I only EVER get invited to my niece, or her mum (my younger sister). Both have their houses up for sale, but if I go to theirs, I have to think of gifts for all of them (family of 6, plus sis and other daughter if she goes).I'd rather spend the money on myself and have a break away from it all and can escape out of it if the going gets tough. If sis or her daughter drive, we have to wait till they want to go home which could be about 8-9pm. Last year niece and her husband sat about in their PJs while sis sat in the armchair ready to stay for the night, it seemed. I felt so sorry for them, but we had to wait for sis as she was driving. Younger niece was away with her fiancé.
