LOL Bubbles! Do you think I should print that off and stick it onto a card for her?! Ooooh that's mean....:o

Dooo it, Do it!

Hope it goes well tomorrow *crosses fingers* And that the speech comes out instead of Sir Alan!

But only 249 days till you go?! I'm all excited for you! And slightly jealous, no chance of sun for me any time soon - but I'm thinking of saving for me and him-indoors to go to Disneyland Paris for our 3 year anniversary I heard the rooms in the pink hotel smell of MAGIC! Seriously, someone said that!

Maybe there are only 4 more available to that holiday company, others might have some more allocated to them

I think Thomson will be OK for people who can fly on Tuesdays (like my brother and SIL as her brother is getting married on the Saturday we fly out!) but for the teachers who can only fly out on Saturdays (since it's only half term i.e. a week!) it looks like there's a problem. Just been having a look on the Thomas Cook website and there's nothing for that week left. Eeek! I've text my teacher friend who really wants to come and she's not text back yet but I also e-mailed the friend who's staying with her and she's now having a mad panic looking all over the internet for a holiday company with flights available on the 19th Feb!

I'm very intrigued by the magic smelling rooms Cinny! We've been looking at Florida for next September and we keep having a Disney vs Universal fight! I want to stay in a Disney hotel and do all the Disney parks (as well as everything else) and OH wants to stay in a Universal hotel and just stick to the 'grown up' parks... I'm hoping we'll come to a compromise i.e. not stay at a Disney hotel but do the parks, or at least some of them! I really want to wear the honeymoon mouse ear hats!

So I'm now having a major freak out about people getting to the wedding as 2 couples that booked to come out for the second week, flying on the 19th have had letters saying that their flights have been cancelled and they've been offered different weeks or a refund!!!!! :eek: The 2 weekers are OK but this is a complete disaster for getting the one weekers there! I don't know what to do! OH is going into the travel agents this morning to ask what's going on and to try to find an alternate flight for the people (one of whom is his brother so it's pretty important!) but what do we do if they say that there is no alternative?! Argh, major headache time!!!!

Hi Birdie,

Try not to worry too much yet. Your OH might be able to find alternatives at the travel agents. Has he been there yet?

Birdie85

OH has just called me and for some reason Thomas Cook has just cancelled the half term holiday :eek: he's managed to get his brother and his other friend sorted with Thomson flights (and he haggled a fantastic amount of money off so actually saved them a fair bit) going on Tuesday the 15th-22nd so the wedding has to be brought forward to Friday the 18th or Monday the 21st. This is OK but… half term is 21st-25th so my oldest friend who’s a teacher and limited to school holidays won’t be able to come. I’m gutted! We can’t change everything for one person but I’m really not happy about not having her there because I know that she’s really excited about coming. I wonder if the school will let her take a few days off outside of school holidays… is this possible?

I'm going to be sending one of my cross letters to them about this... maybe I can wrangle my Disney tickets out of them!

bubbles0169

itl be down to the school so hopefully when she explains what its for theyl say its ok but if they say no then they are REALLY mean!!
