    I think, on balance, I'll not go this time. Having registered, if I cancel it means I get to be on their list for the next one... so I'll do that this time. Go when I am closer and things are more settled.


    As long as next time isn't round the Olympics. All the other threads are burning with complaints of hotelprices in the summer, with rooms for 2 -300 quid (and more) per night.:eek:

    Without wanting to dig the subject out again as clearly doesn't require revival just wanted to appreciate LydiaJ's long post from a while back and say I thought it was an interesting read!

    POSH ALERT!!!

    I've never been skiing. Nor have any real life friends ever been skiing.... but I do have 1-2 online friends who have been. You meet a much posher person online than in the sort of dives I frequent in real life.

    I love my electricity monitor.

    I do it in money rather than the other numbers, i find that more comprehensible.

    Got my dad an electricity monitor about three years ago- it was nice to get him something he is obsessed with for once rather than a pointless paintbrush- but I can't say I ever pay attention to our bill.

    I have no sympathy at rooms for 2 at £300, since most of the time rooms for one are probably £150 and so for 2/£300 it's the same. Couples are just used to getting life on the cheap :)

    "Next time" in my instance might be 2014
