    That's my big worry with the flights too, I love the idea of going something different, but couldn't afford to be out of pocket by £100+

    My last expense payment for flights taken in JUNE was due to be paid in JULY.
    I got £2.40 instead of £2488.00 :eek:

    After a few emails and phone calls :rolleyes: I've finally got the correct balance.
    So I had to wait about 8 weeks to get paid.

    So the flights with BARE are not for the faint hearted or cash strapped.

    BTW
    My next expense claim is only for £1770.00 ;)

    Best of luck Timmne and Mrs Timmne to be.

    We shall miss your little quips and helpful tips. Ooh that is almost poetic.

    I can picture you arriving at honeymoon hotel. Now what is left and right. Clerk checks you in and gives you room key. You clock his/her name and description. Did he/she make eye contact and greet us in a genuine manner.

    Breakfast next morning. Is that crumbs on the table cloth. I asked for my eggs easy over and they are well done.

    Not easy to switch off from this MS lark is it.

    There will be store assistants all over England breathing a big sigh of relief though eh.:rotfl:

    LOL! That's so funny - but sooo true. I find it seriously difficult to get out of MS mode. :rotfl:

    Chelseagirl - you'll get used to HP and her humour; a self confessed Lily Connelly - although I'm sure (I hope) she doesn't have that colourful beard!

    I do feel like carrying out a few scenarios on some shops tomorrow one last time, not being paid, just for the fun of it! :D Go into gapburger and order a meal, nip into gapcoffee and get a small latte and then a quick trip into the petrol station because I just HAVE to use the toilet, even if it's a tin in the back room.

    That'll rock some boats.... ;)

    I think RE are having problems with their search system, it's saying that I'm 10 miles from Edinburgh and not the 300+ miles that I actually am! i'm not sure the £xx will cover the travel! :rotfl:

    What is even funnier is I work part time in Asda as a checkout colleague. I am the only person on this planet who MS's the customers.

    I smile politely and pleasantly with the "Good afternnon do you have your own carrier bags or would you like some of ours"

    And you get "Hmmmph the profit you lot make don't tell me you are charging for carriers bags now"

    A man said last night to me "You lot must be on some bonus" Not at all sir Asda wanted to pay me £15 p/h but I said no I prefer working for the minimum wage.:mad:
