    Greenbee - advice is travel in comfy t-shirt type top, with a smart jacket (hides creases when you arrive. Unless you have creasefree trousers or skirt - change into spare pair just before you land. Go American with accessories & bright makeup and no-one will know where you've been!! Posh shoes & handbag are also necessary? :D

    Seriously though - capsule seems to be the way to go and layer up/down - time for a little shopping out there to add to your outfits? And I second or third the you need nightwear - I've been evacuated from a hotel for a fire alarm at night - since then I always think of what I might be seen in! :eek:

    I'm very envious - Florida is my favourite place and I love the shopping malls. Enjoy, the most exotic I get to is Kingsway in London these days.

    Moam

    and no she doesn't work in Egham or in reseach - but now I'm wondering exactly who you work for..

    Thanks for this! I'm going to clear the spare room and start my packing when I've had breakfast. If I do get the extra time in Florida I'll be picking your brains (I've never been there, although ironically I did edit the National Geographic travel guide to either Florida or Miami about 8 years ago!), as I'll need to find something to keep me occupied!

    I'll PM you in a moment to let you know where I work... not far from you, and not far from where I used to work!

    Morning and Happy Birthday Fedup :beer::beer::beer::j:j:j

    have a lovely day and enjoy spending your money.:T

    Need to get going but not sure what to do, think both girls are out later and OH is away so I'll have the house to myself.:D

    Really could do with sorting through DD2 clothes as I'm sure loads don't fit anymore.

    Got to clean the bath...again, looks like the sealant has sealed.:D

    Love your purty numbers Valli.:T:D

    I did wonder if the lyric "it's hard to get by when your !!!! is as wide as a small country" had something to do with it.

    It's the best lyric isn't it? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy birthday fedup :bdaycake:

    Update from Johanne - its not Pumpkin, it's her BF's little boy

    AnWsMum will be at work no doubt, but thinking of you as you arrange your stone for OH - hoping some of the wedding box memories are making you smile hun!

    Correct, couple of days down at t'cross and even doing an extra one next week :eek: It was great going through the wedding box, also looked at our wedding pics which was great :D My niece who is now 14 was 2 when we got married, she had a teddy bear in a copy of her dress, firgured that was better than flowers for a 2yo, Miss A thought that was great.

    Catching up with the thread by skim reading but will have to finish later.

    Have a good w/e one and all :hello:

    Happy birthday fedup

    I've just got round to checking baggage allowances. I'm so used to flying cheap... The size of the hand luggage allowed on Virgin is VAST. I have to go and buy a new suitcase! It doesn't say anything about laptop bags, but does about handbags, so I'm wondering if my smart leather laptop bag could count as a large handbag? That was I can keep everything I need for the flight in there, and most of what I need for the trip in hand luggage, which will save me checking anything in!

    I really MUST start making piles of stuff now (oh yes, and put the washing on!)
