Bridge camera. Any recommendations?

Hi all
After recently coming back from our hols in the Isle of Wight (thanks to everyone who gave suggestions of places to go), it has become apparent we need a new camera.
I like the look of the bridge cameras and have a budget of around £100. £150 is absolutely max and anything above won't be considered.
Is it possible to get a decent one on this budget? Any makes to go for/avoid?
Any recommendations?
Pictures will be mainly of our kids and maybe a few landscape ones.
Thanks

I've got a Fuji HS 10 which is great for the money, but they aren't sold now.

This link looks like a great buy though with even more zoom.

A lot of people don't like them being powered by AA batteries, but for me it is a benefit as you don't have to worry about running out of charge.

I've had a Fuji finepix S4500 for a few years now. It's been great (though I'm no David Bailey)
Amazon have them (for a lot cheaper than I paid too!) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-FinePix-S4500-Digital-Camera/dp/B0082B35W4
