A little advice when posting a new thread

When you want help try and put a little more information in the post to start with it saves all the posting trying to establish what you're really looking for.
For example

Cheap whats cheap 1 persons could be £200 for a week in spain but someone elses could be £300.

Hot my hot is 75 degrees but my husbands is 100.

Short flight do you mean less than 4hrs or only 2.

The list goes on but you get my drift.

    Just bumping this up as MSE are running a bit low on mindreaders atm :D

    To add to the above: departure airport, number of people travelling, duration, date range, preferred board; are all rather helpful bits of info that will help others to help you ;)

    And a decent, descriptive title please.

    Posting "Help!! Please!!" could relate to anything and I sometimes ignore posts with similar titles.

    And a mention if you are young and single and like bears may also get certain people responding.

    LOL! Well I'm single and I LOVE bears... particularly polar bears! :p

    But young? Well how young is young?! My idea of young is someone born in the 80s (or later!)... but I don't fall into that category! :o
    If I don't respond to your posts, it's probably because you're on my 'Ignore' list.

    Nah young to me is someone born in the 70's, I guess im trying to hang on to my youth and convince myself im still young and hip.

    Guess im getting to a stage where im more hip op than hip hop.

    Polar bears are wicked, tad too solitary for me though, give me a grizzly or a brown bear anyday

    And if you find the answer to what you are looking for (which couldn't be answered here - Usually because i didn't see it ;))

    Please let us know how you sorted it, that way if someone else searches for the same topic they will get an answer.
