am even more jealous now - did you let them know it was your birthday?? lol

yeah we did Jan lol it had been a long day and we couldn't be bothered to go far from the hotel - first place we found round the corner (Broadway and Dey St) was TGI's lol P.x

well if you did bet it wasnt as fun as when we all went...... fanx for my pressie to its under the tree xx

omg you didnt go to TGI without me ????????

Good to 'see' you back! xx x - one cautious one for Little Lucy.

actually they do sound nice :0) glad you enjoyed yourself

Julie ! One is Hugo Boss (white with blue/lilac stripes), the other Kenneth Cole (stripes of various shades of red), so yes, they're very nice. Two nice ties too, and a few other bits. Sharon has bought a couple of DKNY tops, a few more non designer tops, two pairs of shoes (both pink !) and a Guess handbag.... Oh and one other thing about the trip... we spent a really enjoyable couple of hours at a Carol Concert in St Thomas church on 5th Avenue...

Oh and I forgot... also went to Grand Central Station (fantastic), rode the subway (didn't do that the first time, Sharon was a bit nrevous because of the reputation it USED to have), and also the PATH train (which is how we got back to WTC when we were stuck uptown because of the transit strike), which I'd never even heard of ! Of the shopping, I would thoroughly recommend Macy's, and Century 21 is OK for bargains, but... didn't really like Bloomingdales much. It's OK if you're loaded and/or have the physique of a model, but otherwise... it's nice to look round, but we had a hard time finding something to buy... oh and Jan... guess where we had dinner on my birthday ??? lol

REALLY nice shirts??? are you sure lol

glad u had a nice time :-)

Hi, Sorry about the silence this afternoon - *%$% broadband connection keeps going... hopefully it'll stay up long enough for me to post this. New York was great. Cold, but sadly no snow. We did most of what we wanted to - we took a helicopter ride around manhattan (fantastic!), went to a broadway show (The Lion King), did lots of shopping (and I bought a couple of REALLY nice shirts), and did lots of WALKING - through Central Park (went to Strawberry Fields), chinatown, soho, tribeca, greenwich village, the financial district and across the Brooklyn bridge. Went up the Empire State Building at night, the lights of New York are fantastic from up there... oh and we also had lunch in Katz's Deli - I've never had such a big sandwich in my life lol All in all - very enjoyable. Only fly in the ointment was the transit strike, which meant that on Tuesday/Wednesday getting around was difficult - yesterdays trip to the airport was 'interesting'; for a while we didn't think we'd make it to the airport in time - in which case we would have still been there, as everythings booked solid for days... Had about half an hours sleep on the plane, so have been feeling a bit fragile, but I think I've now gone through the tired barrier and should be OK for a few more hours. If the broadnabd connection stays up long enough, I'll also get around to answering the 30 odd emails waiting for me... Paul

Hi Paul Glad you had a good time - are you going to post a report then? Love to Sharon. Daisy xxxx

I wondered why the board was so quiet - forgot you'd gone away!!! :-)))) Did you get to have that helicopter flight you were on about?

Think he has succumbed either to unpacking or jet lag lol

Welcome back Paul and Sharon, thanks for the card XXXX

Hi m8, buy any loud American shirts? ;))

Indeed it would Paul, indeed it would. Now, my pills.

Err - are you calling me a weirdo ??? :O( Didn't see anyone give the addy out - I had it already from you :O)

that would be quacking surely ?

Throw him some bread :-)
