    So how do you get round the car hiring issue Rich? Cash deposit?

    Hi Neko, we always have to take one of our daughters with us, and she pays for the car with her credit card....;) ;)

    Damn! What do single, barren people like me do? Can I borrow your daughter when I go on holiday? :D

    Seriously - you might want to set up some sort of 'loaning' service. Could make a mint I'll bet!

    EDIT: I suppose your daughter eats...this is already sounding more expensive than I initially thought :(

    I'm afraid so Neko,:rolleyes: and drinks like a fish; just like her mother.:D

    Funnily enough, she split up with her boyfriend last year, and she was desperate to get away for a holiday, but all her friends had got partners and husbands at the time.

    I'm sure you'd have got on well together, as long as you're a man hungry party animal.:D :D

    Just out of interest, on Quidco just now, the SUN , is offering a pre pay card, £5 cash back and £5 on card with first 'top up'(min of £10). The cost for the card is £6.50, (minus the cash back = £1.50 outlay). Have not really read up on any of the other cards on offer so cannot comment on the charges................... might interest someone lol

    Just had a look at this as I have decided to Quidco everything this year. But I have to say when I had a look the snob in me came out " but it's got the Sun emblazoned all over it, I can't use 'that'." *shakes her head in disgust at herself*

    Hi Rog,

    Italy must be different to Spain, because we couldn't even pay for the car on line with our pre-paid Mastercard, and the car hire place at the airport won't accept cash under any circumstances.

    It probably is, Richard. :rolleyes: The annoying thing is that my mastercard was accepted when I paid on-line (through the BA website) for the actual hire - special offer of £105 for one week, yet was declined by 'Europcar' at Marco Polo airport at 11.00 pm - I had no alternative. :eek:

    God it's cold.:snow_grin :snow_grin

    I certainly hope it doesn't happen, NZ, as I need to 'drive' my delivery van through the lanes of Wiltshire. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    They did say it would get milder tomorrow. :T

    I have a 5 year old who is very anxious it does happen. He's stood at the window looking at the sky with tears in his eyes saying "please daddy when will it snow?"

    But as you know Rog Wiltshire is an odd place for weather, it sometimes seems to have it's own micro climate to everything around it :)
