    Hi guys, Bails, I had to respond on FB, as I was locked out of MSE! Not sure how, as I only attempted logging in the once and it said I'd used up all my attempts, so maybe someone was trying to access my account? Who knows, it's all reset now, though. :rolleyes: If any weird messages do start to appear, someone please PM me to warn me. Dunno why anyone would want to hack my account, though. :confused:

    Waiting in today in the hope that the foam arrives then that will let me get the futon done. I'm afraid there won't be any piccies, though, as I'm a bit funny about what I post. :o

    SM, another wonky duck? :rotfl:Are you suggesting Phoebe, Monica and Joey are wonky ducks? I mean, I know poor Joey has his bandy leg, but he manages perfectly well waddling around the place. :rotfl: Right now he's watching one of your hens digging along the back fence in among your raised beds. Sorry, she had absolutely no intentions of going back in her run, so I've had to leave her a while longer. Cheeky bird that she is, just hid behind the shed knowing I couldn't get in there without first getting my wellies! :rotfl:
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    Sorry you didn't get the job. I'm sure fate has another job planned for you.

    The only good thing about Ry@n@ir is the departure time and that it's a non-stop flight. Easyj3t doesn't even fly the week we need at all. Grrrr...trying to organise a trip home with friends and their kids in February. The prices seem to go up everytime I look. Plus if I want to buy all 6 it's 118 per person, if I just buy theirs and then ours (4+2) it's 93 per person??? Never mind all these additional charges. In the end it's almost more expensive than Lufth@ns@/KLM only that they fly late in the day and take all day plus a stopover.:mad:

    Does anyone know what the chances are of the prices coming down closer to the date are (but with added risk of no seats left I guess, as we are rather limited by the dates of school hols).

    As far as I know, the budget airlines always have their cheapest fares when they first release the dates and the prices rise from then on getting much more expensive near to the departure date. If you can, I would get them sooner rather than later

    BF and I have used Ry@n Air alot. We used my electron card to book it, but now thats not going to be accepted without a charge. etc. We went to Portugal, 4 of us for £220 with all the charges.
    Every flight has been either on time,or only a few minute late. Perhaps we were lucky.
    DGD has just filled her nappy again, after having just changed it. I am trying to get her to use a potty but its not happening yet.
    Before she arrived I had hardly anything in the bin. Now its filling up regulary!
    Got to go DS wants a lift in mums taxi. Must remember to charge him the cost of petrol!!!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
