    Hang on Zig. Are we talking 2 or 3 people?

    Link does not work.

    You are still looking at £50 per person return!

    There is a train at 20:45 but that might be a push.

    3 people! Sorry that I didn't make that very clear! It's annoying that it's the trains here that are proving the hardest part for me to sort out! :rolleyes:

    Zig,

    Best options are 04:47 to London at £30 per head.
    21:45 from London at £20 per head.

    So you need £150 in total for the whole journey if this is for 3 adults.

  • Hang on, I see a deal in the travel agent and now it would seem everyone's booked up to go and I'm not :rolleyes: Hoorah for all the good deals though, looks like we'll be getting the £189 one as OH's a birthday grinch!

    did anyone (Cinny?) end up getting an icing gun? I've just got an Amazon voucher from Toluna and I was thinking of treating myself :)

    I got a syringe type effort very cheap in Wilko's, but I find it quite messy to work with/clean out and a lot of the icing seems to remain inside it - I want to replace it soon. I don't know whether this is just because it's a cheapo one or whether it's the design of them in general though..?

    Thank you Poolie I love you!!!!! I tried putting a bear into the CD drive but I think I knackred another computer.....

    Is my formula for working out depreciation right do you know? I know price bought - price after 3 years is right, but making it into a percentage fuddles me.

    I hope NIM know that this is only a love because I have fixed your spreadsheet. Plus I am a happily married man!

    Why were you trying to put a beer in the CD drive - not a wise move.
