Sun cream cheaper abroad?
Hi, I was just wondering if it is worth waiting and buying sun cream in Spain, rather than buying it here and paying all the VAT that is applied. With fair skinned husband and kids we will be needing lots at a high factor (they wear factor 50 most of the summer in the uk). I’ll take one so we can get going on the first day…

Fast track for child's first passport?
Does anyone know how to get a first passport quickly?

USA driving coast to coast
Has anyone here done this? Off the back of a random Facebook post yesterday, my OH and I had the idea that we could visit 2 specific locations either side of the States.

Can I still use my current passport whilst applying for a new one, if it is still valid?
My current passport end date is 16th June 2024 so I know that I can use it (I believe) up until 16th January 2024.

So I am thinking about the…

Loss of deposit on a sold villa
Help! We booked 2 villas in Cyprus online on 05/06/2021 to stay 25/05/2022 to 05/06/2022 and paid a £1100 deposit. It took us an awfully long time to find the villas because of the number of people, 11, the age range, 0 to 62 and we needed to be in or near Larnaca for a wedding. Even booking a year in advance, most of the…
