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?

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.

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!0 -

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:

Morning all
Just a quick post before swimming lessons. Hugs all round esp to LL, sounds like a tough time but I hope there are things that are making you smile.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
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:Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang

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!)0
