    Oooh CMD I think Barcelona is so cool. It must have been lovely to get married there. When we went there I had a great guide book called 'Le Cool' (which I would heartily recommend). The food was so amazing. Would love to live there for a year - the way it's going with our Spanish classes we'll be comprehensible in time for retirement!!! Where did you have the service and reception?

    Tete - Olive oil yum, you must have loved working there for staff discount and freebies! I went to Granada last year and really loved it. We hired a small flat which was really reasonable on price and took some great bus trips to the mountains. We were supposed to hire a car and go to Seville and Cordoba but there was a big fuel strike, so we were stranded.

    BTW what's a 'return rate' on Dooyoo? Is it etiquette to rate people back that have rated you? If so I am in troooouble . . . *runs off to Dooyoo*

    Also I had such a cool time in Stoke On Trent today. I got the full tour of the south of the city and got to see our bone china products getting made.

    best i can find is king.gif


    I don't think you have to return rate, i just felt mean getting lots of ratings and not giving any back!

    Tried to do a review on dooyoo but i'm nodding off, oh lord.

    I'd love to live in France for a year. All I can say in french is hello, I'd like a tuna sandwich, One coffee with milk, thank you and goodbye. I think I'd manage fine!

    Hello all, you've been covering quite a range of issues over the last couple of days! My internet has been down which is such a nightmare when I'm job hunting. Also, I need my regular fix of news and MSE! and I was just about to get started on Dooyoo - thanks for the add btw Tete x

    Dinah - your thread is a bit like Loose Women (only not rubbish) with lots of good advice and bonhomie flying around :) I think you're spot on with your views on marriage. Too many people (girls especially) seem to be in it for the opposite reasons, with the emphasis on the wedding rather than the marriage. I've been engaged for the nearly 2 years now, and we were planning on getting married this year - we started saving, looked at some venues, started buying wedding magazines etc but we decided to buy a flat instead and change our focus a bit.

    I still totally want to get married (and maybe have an amazing dress) but not for £20k! And I can definitely live without Bride magazine at a fiver a pop... Anyway, I'll stop babbling now - this is what happens when you're at home all day - but I just wanted to say hi to everyone and good luck with everything xx

    Hehe, yeah we babble! Hi poddle. You know I bet you can get an online subscription to those magazines for half the price. Can probably get quidco cashback too...

    Lots of onepoll surveys today, done those now waiting for the 6pm bell to toll. So go home, eat dinner, have a bath, wrap the last parcels, then tidy the room. Sorted.

    Thanks for reminding me of Onepoll Dinah, finally managed to get past £15 :rolleyes: also half way to pay out on global test market, although I have given up on STP. Really not enjoying it!

    Off for my tea, have a nice night everyone! And have fun cleaning your room Dinah. If all fails, kick it under the bed.
