Save up your quidco money, so in effect its almost completly free, if you do that you are £120 there already

tricky one this, half of me says yes and the other half says no
Will it really cost £200, if you could really keep it to £200 I would say yes, but if it is going to cost more than no, you shouldn't.

Thanks for your comemnts guys! :beer:domesticgoddess wrote:Deep down I guess you already know what you are going to do ?!
I honestly don't! I really really WANT to go but I know I don't NEED to go!
Wanting has got me in the proverbial I'm in now which is why it's such a tough decision! :doh:0 -
Check out the pricing of finding a hotel room at this stage in the game ( hostelworld.com/ hostels.com are great Ive found- or ask on the lonely planet message board Find the cheapest flights you can .
use cash back for anything you can ( ie euros, flights) Quidco comes into their own here.
If you can do it for all in less than 300 Id go.
If not, then sell something extra you own to go .
I wouldnt miss this opportunity at all, but Id make sure Id do it the most DFW I could:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
I say go for it. you can cut back next month to cover the cost.
Its once in a lifetime. Good luck in finding flights and accomdation if you decide to goMonth June 06 current debt stands at: Loan with OH £20,000, Egg Card £7324 now £7191.00, Barclaycard £700, Overdraft was £2550 now £2400, Car Loan £297 a month finishes in Nov 06, £9.00 Savings, Piggysbank points 3700 -

Sounds to me like you don't know how much this lot'll cost.
Can't believe that for the Semi-Final you'll get that lot at that price ... there's plenty of interest and that tends to push the prices up.
Check out how much you'll need to part with - my gut feel is closer to £500 :eek:Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac

I thought it would be more than that as well.
SS give me the dates you want and I will have a scour round for you

Well we have a travel company where I work and I can get the flight for £120! So that just leaves 1 nights accomidation. Will share a room with my mate (no, not a bed :rolleyes: ) so that will be cheaper. Then it's just bit of grub and beer! :beer:0 -

Cheers hun. The game is in Dortmund on July 4th. Will need to stay that night coz it's a late kick-off so coming home on the 5th. I know these things work out weird so we could technically fly out on July 3rd if it worked out cheaper but would rather fly out on the 4th! Oh and going from any London airport!
