Bargains  – Luxury Leather Reclining chair and footstool £99 & M&S 20% off kids clothing & 50% off clothing at Play

We arranged to drive to Gloucester as Steve wanted to see Mal. It was snowing when we left Margate and it was a really long journey with a lot of traffic. We ended up booking into a Metro Inn, which we have never heard of before. I have to say everything was really nice there and the price also included continental breakfast brought to your room. The room was rather small but everything else was good and tea and coffee in the room.

We then went off to the hospital.Steve has improved since Mal last saw him and he still isn’t really up to visitors but at least Mal managed over an hour with him. Get well soon Steve.

I waited in the hospital coffee bar. On the way back we found a pub where we had a late dinner.

Back to the Metro and decided to have a cup of tea in our room. Well, then Mal and I were in hysterics. He filled the kettle and walked all round the room with it looking for a power point! There was nowhere where you could put the kettle on something and plug it into a socket! We looked everywhere, so in the end Mal had to hold the kettle while it boiled!! There must be something in Health and Safety about that.

Nowhere to put the kettle!
