    f) which doesn't actually matter as it's going to be too cold/wet to do anything anyway

    Seriously fed up with this weather. Doesn't help that:
    a) it's a BH and I've not gone to Spain
    b) the weather is good there
    c) my mate has gone to my apartment
    d) Mr GG away for the weekend

    _pale_:eek:_pale_ Just seen on Facebook bmibaby are probably closing - we have 3 flights with them _pale_:eek:_pale_. Checked their website and our flights are ok. However they are closing 2 of our best routes :(. Still, hopefully that will be more incentive for Ryanair to keep them open.

    Nearly had kittens for a moment though :eek:.

    Edit: Not 100% convinced they won't change their minds and close them earlier - and one of our flights is the last one out for the summer anyway :(

    Fingers crossed your flights are safe Gally. If they close, I'm sure you will be covered? xx
  • Looking on the bright side if you flew out on the last flight out and they closed you might be *ahem* "stranded" in spain for a few more weeks of the summer.... :beer::beer: every cloud has a silver lining and all that! :D

    hope it all works out tho and fingers crossed for sun for the bank hol!!

    Yes we would get money back but then be faced with trying to find an alternative flight which would be dearer as a lot would be trying to book. TYO - the opposite way round I'm afraid - it's our flight out - we're coming abck with good old Mr O'Leary.

    Get the girls round to help with the decorating and make them bring some wine! It may not look brilliant by the end of it but at least your weekend wont be quite so glum!
