    OH - well done GG you've just reminded me that I need to sort out airport parking for our weekend in Dublin in January. Ridiculolus - we're 11 miles from Stansted yet it's STILL cheaper to take the car than get the bus .

    If you're only 11 miles from Stansted you might as well walk - that's closer than their long stay car park isn't it? Am sure I went over the Dartford Crossing in the airport bus last time :rolleyes:. I like going from Stansted but hate coming back there - too many late night flights arriving at the same time so nightmare passport control, long wait for bus, trip to car park goes via Bejing. Won't be going from there until they sort out passport control. Emailed chief exec of airport to tell him & got nice reply back, but it's an awful end to a holiday.

    Just picked up a load of MS including casino for next Sat (at least I will have it when I ask them to transfer from DD's account - was picking up jobs for her as well :o). Only need £13.41 more to make £1500 in fees for 2009 :T. Original target of £1500 was for income including expenses so well & truly blasted that :j. None this weekend as DD nabbed them :rolleyes:.

    Just off to clothes sale with DD :o

    Not when said sale involves queueing for at least an hour outside. We abandoned after 5 mins :D

    Nice one GG, what do you do in the run up to Christmas re. MSing? I have not taken too much on (not that theres been a massive amount to take anyway) but the thought of fighting for a parking space then getting stuck in massive queues for the sake of a few £ does not excite me!:rolleyes:

    I have a few over the next few days then 2 in 1 town on Sat. 1 will be parking outside (fast food), the other 1 I need to park in main car park. Hmmm, hadn't thought of queuing aspect :eek:. Still, will need to finish off Xmas shopping so that will spur me on to be organised. Hopefully :o.

    Will see what turns up after that, won't get too stressed if nothing much. Although could do with some petrol ones as running low on loo paper :rotfl:
