    Evening guys!!

    I could do with your advice on a "dilemma" I have at the mo. I have a chance to fly out to Greece for 4 days and all I would need to pay for is my flights, which are just over £250. I can get the time off work one way or another, and have done the sums and can definitely afford it.

    Would you go? It's a chance for some very welcome sun, a gorgeous place to go to and I know the people there.

    My only bugbear is that when I went last year I got stuck there as my flight home got cancelled because of the strikes and I swore I would never go greek again. Surely that couldn't/wouldn't happen again???

    It helps to have "someone else" to run this past. It's thanks to you lot (and mr t of course!!) that I don't have to worry about the money for probably the first time in my life :-)

    go pack and go go go :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    seriously, we only need to see one of 3dogs posts to see life is for living, not worrying about things we cannot change :)

    If it happens again (i'd say unlikely, but you never know), then so be it....but you'll never know unless you go.....and it wont be the worst thing in the world if it does happen will it?

    hope you make the right decision ....remember to think with your heart :)

    Hope it's not too sore :)

    Not too bad at the moment but its a real nuisance trying to keep it dry, I'm forever washing my hands. I'm not at all squeamish but when its your own finger its a different matter

    No probs sis it's got your name written all over it lol literally so mum can't pinch it:TI had really lazy day today to recharge my batteries have you ventured out?x

    I am glad you have managed to relax. I went to Mr S got some cakes. I can't do any more shopping until I have emptied some of the freezer.
    Although you will be proud of me I am still eating out of date yoghurt and got some for 18p the other night.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    Guess you'll have this on your radar but it just occurred to me today. Honey nut shred dies are on BOGOF at £2.29. If anyone still has the 50p off vouchers you can use 2 bringing price down to £1.29 for 2 boxes. Then claim JTD at 21p per box. That makes it 44p a box.
    Hope my Maths is right.

    After all that pizza cereal will be a welcome break x
