se - what a shame about the luggage! Sounds like you've coped well, and the journey sounds excellent - that whole lorry park thing on the road towards the tunnel is getting a bit crazy, isn't it - I've often used the M25 past Heathrow, where its 5 lanes in each direction. When they were first built, it was fantastic, loads of space - now, you wouldn't know it was anything different.2023: the year I get to buy a car0

Tell me about the M25 at Heathrow, I'm there every morning and evening :mad:
Glad you got home safe Se, bah to missing bags though. Will you get it back?
Operation Stack on the M20 seems to be an almost permanent fixture. If they aren't holding them there because of strikes in France it is because of delays to ferry's caused by the weather!
Another one that works better to tight deadlines
Interesting about the starts and ends, I walk away from my desk to make Tea or have a ciggy (yes, bad girl) a few times a day and find it helps me move from one task to the next if I have a proper break between them, even if it is only 5 minutes. :j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -
Ugh to M25, motorways as lorry parks and missing bags, but hurrah to underfloor heating - always think that sounds fab, if a bit odd to get used to I suspect! I wonder if the cat will take a while to get used to the feeling or warmth under-paw, as it were?! :rotfl:🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Good morning,
Hopefully will be reunited with the bag tonight, as we're due to fly out of Heathrow this evening, that's of course assuming our flight doesn't get cancelled. Checked yesterday, and most flights were ok to there, just some had major delays.
Hope everyone has a good day.0 -
