    ooh, Elli, Madeira?? That's somewhere I fancy. Bournemouth have flights to Funchal but they are never particularly cheap.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    yep :j 3 weeks tomorrow. Then Portugal in October. I love free flights I do, I'm such a cheapskate :rotfl:Need to pick the accommodation for Portugal. I'm going to choose a privately owned apartment, something I've never done before, it's even cheaper than the best deals for hotels/complexes etc I've found and the quality is much better than a big resort hotel. I've got a short list of about 6 apartments in various places, but I need to get away from the most expensive being my favourite. :rolleyes:

    Is it a year since you went to Majorca? Blimey.........I guess it must be though as it was just after we went away last March!
