    I agree. They're not business stays as can be done as a couple, plus they're for Good Friday, too. You're right tg, we're being too logical! I've under 300 points.
  • Tried to call the hotel but it is booked for tomorrow night - on the notes it says Friday or Saturday, but only gives the option of the Friday on the dates to accept. Hope that makes sense.

    Any ideas?

    You'll need to contact them & tell them it's fully booked & see what they suggest. It may be Sat or may be next Fri.

    Just a thought, but for others who can't do tomorrow, might be worth nabbing a job if you can see on the web that its full? Esp if you can do Sat or next Fri? I reckon quite a few might be full, with it being Easter.


    Tg, in answer to your question, it's already been answered on here several times, so no secret. Ring Abai and ask them to add more jobs on.

    I probably couldn't do the hotels tomorrow anyway, as I have to study this weekend, but that doesn't mean I don't want to be able to SEE them! :cry:
    I want to be able to get one next time they come up!!

    Oh, can anyone recommend a notebook? I really fancy one (they're so cute!), and it would help lots with my MS'ing! No more pestering the bf to use his computer if I do a job at the weekend, and I could fit in jobs around visiting friends too.

    I got myself the Archos 10 a few weeks ago & I'm happy enough with it - I only want it to check emails & jobs while I'm away & it's been great.

    My husband bought me a Sony Vaio for Christmas & had a right gob on him when I looked disappointed - he didn't know I was after a notebook because I wanted something dinky to take with me - but after 31 years married he should have known!!!!!

    I knew that if I didn't like the Archos I could return it to QVC within the month which is why I like them.

    So the Vaio has only been used a couple of times - I did take it away with me once but it was too heavy to carry around if I had an overnight bag & shopping as well. I'll sell that one when I get around to it.

    The Archos is ideal - I got that as it was on offer from QVC & loads of extras with it - spare battery & charger plus £80 worth of films to download so not bad.

    I know there are better ones around and the Vaio is far superior but even my husband reluctantly agreed it wasn't bad - and he's a Computer Consultant! :D
    ;)

    I've had my business details verified about a month ago but still don't see the hotels on RE

    Well that screws up my theory :p

    The wicked side of me has often thought how much fun it would be to have a notebook and go and buy a burger in the fast food place with free wifi, then sit and fill in the report while eating the burger. Can you imagine the look on the staff's faces :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    Its not business details, I don't have any and I can see the hotels. I think we are all thinking way to logically.

    Yes, perhaps logic is best not used when talking about RE (but people on the phones are nice, warm, enthusiastic people who made me valued as n individual... wait I think I'm going off on one.)

    May be some ticks a box to see if you can see hotels or not and some folks have been lucky and had them showing since the new site.

    Did the old site require you to put business details in or could you see them straight away?

    Samsung NC10 is a good one then it's a close run between the Acer Aspire Ones and the MSI Wind ones which are often branded to other names.

    Trusted Review and alatest or good places to compare... Did I mention I have a brand new Samsung NC10 to sell? :p:rotfl:

    I used to be able to see the hotels on the old site and I didn't have business details in then.
