Now I am confused I make that £45 and I do still need to get back to Bangor I was just suggesting warrington instead of Crewe.

Oh dear, that's how glum I am - completely unable to add up!
:rotfl:
Ok - in that case:
leave Glasgow 16.00 (or 17.36), change at Crewe
= £11.50
Crewe to Bangor (arriving either 21.23, or 22.22) = £23.60
I *think* (and you might want to check :rotfl:) that adds up to £35.10. So add *that* to the Saturday morning £14, and that makes £49.10 - only 10p more than the (wrong!) other one

What I'm trying to do (after a quick lie down and read of "The Secret") is to come up with the words that shift me from "blind panic" that I will not be able to get a nice buzzy full room in Leeds to the place where I can attract all the right people into the room.
So can you help me come up with the effective manifestation mantra?

Oooh Mantra's, I don't speak Ssanskrit, but do you mean something like. There is no failure only feedback0 -
No, I didn't think you were being rude, it was me thinking aloud about where the actual line goes and trying to work out where they cross each other.tellmeitsfriday wrote: »I wasn't being rude... sorry if it came over that way...Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

DT enjoy the shop, do we get piccies

I don't do photos had a horrible shock last week when I started at the clinic they took a frontal and a sideways on shot and I hadn't seen them before they are terrible now I know why I don't do photos and that was in my new clothes that I thought looked OK:eek:scottishlass wrote: »Ok - was just wondering if we could use Club 55 but no which is annoying as to Wigan its £16 return.
But I get £49.50 (I'm guessing the same trains as Cherry Daff) which do go all the way to Bangor - just an early start/late finish

Oh well I am in no hurry to be 55 I have a new career to plan
Which site is this and do I need to buy the tickets separately?
Would I be able to catch the later train back the 15.36 one I don't want to lose too much shopping time :rotfl:
Thanks so much everyone for the help you are definitely experts

The new site doesn't seem to want to load from my activation code link. I'll try again later.
There seem to be quite a few of us on here around the 52 mark - mind you I was told by our plasterer this morning when he found out my DD was 27, the same age as him, that I didn't look old enough to be his mum, so that's a result.
Having missed the start of the hundred days challenge, I'm definitely up for a 50 day one, especially as I'd established an exrcise pattern which I've totally abandoned and am desperate to get going again.0 -

Another option - You were planning on 2 nights hotel so how about an early start saturday and come home Monday - May give more options on trains and give you time to go back and but some bits you were undecided on the day before :rotfl::j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -

I did mine through Virgin - just the straight Bangor to Glasgow no split tickets and yep 15:36 would be the same price. Cheery Daff got hers slightly cheaper so check which site she used.2020 Mortgage-Free Wannabes #20 £1495.03/£2760 OP0 -

Thats even cheaper than scottishlass:T
Same question really which site and do I have to buy separately.
Thank you for all your trouble

Sorry MG got a bit distracted with train fares...don't really have any mantras but what I did do after reading the secret was to put together a positive song list on my ipod which when I'm feeling negative I switch on and it helps me focus more if thats any help.2020 Mortgage-Free Wannabes #20 £1495.03/£2760 OP0
