    Tete is nearly correct. The reservation system opens up 12 weeks before but the cheapest tickets are something not available till 10 weeks before you have to keep your eyes peeled.

    Lets see what I can find for the moment.
  • Yep, there were squillions of trains from Brussels to Bruges when I was there a few years ago, stupidly I went to Maastricht instead....

    Hi Gembob - wow! Sounds like you're working really hard, good luck! Do you have a DOTD for us?! :D

  • I think we need to give Poolie a salary!

    Am experimenting with Dr Gill's fave quinoa for dinner, made it up as packet said - 50g is a portion, and I only had mushrooms and onion in the house so that's all that's in, 50g doesn't look like much at all and I've just put it into Food Focus and my whole dinner only comes to 75 calories! I think I may need to supplement this or drop dead!

    Aw, isn't Poolie good - being put to work!

    Hello Gembob! You ARE working hard; I felt tired just reading it - good luck with it all :)

    Poor Flower, sounds likes you're having a tough week, but you're doing so well with your debts and your moving pot is shooting up quickly too. Yay! Hope you're feeling less dejected today - everyone knows job hunting is a 8ugger... Chin up x

    I am actually at work for a change today and it is very quiet so have a chance to hit quidco and catch up with you ladies (and NIM). Don't mind helping people out to get the best deal.
