the site where you can book stuff at the last minute? *hint* They generally have really cheap deals on for London, especially at weekends, we went to a 5* thingy for £35 each last time...

*laughs*
hey I'm always completely precise and to the point, I've never met anyone more succint than me! In fact I can generally say in 4 words what would take most people hundreds to say and it's not like people can't understand me, I'm just economical with my wording, I say what I mean straight away with rambling or waffling, thought to be fair I do like waffles but thats another matter, what I mean to say is that I'm a very concise person, idle chatter is not what makes great minds you know...

*runs away before anyone finds her school reports which every term stated that she needed to waffle less*

Being poor people, we have gone for the nearest (we think) St. Christopher's hostel.

Honestly, prices in London. £80 a night for a B&B!! That's not a B&B, it's a bloody four star hotel- at least, it better be! Around here, a B&B is a pokey house that charges £20 a room.....
