    Good question!

    Yes, provided you only have to do it the once... :eek:

    You didn't see me after my mum died Mr Z. I used to start laughing....start laughing hysterically.....continue for a good five minutes (by which time most people had left the room) and then start crying hysterically.

    They should not have left the room. It's not rocket science to give someone a hug. They need a good kicking.

    I think it was a bit frightening. I found it a bit frightening, put me off laughing for a while (some of you will find that VERY hard to believe!!)

    N.B. Before you scan this message and think I have a decision....DO NOT GET EXCITED cos I haven't!!!

    So...apart from having a wee challenge with myself this week to eat my way through the fridge and freezer and try not to buy any food, I think we should focus back on nice things and NOT waiting for the underwriters to underwrite (or whatever they do!). Unfortunately / fortunately as luck would have it, as we (sorry back to the Royal plural!!!) wait for them to make a decision and try to ignore the sensation I am being watched/monitored, I am going away :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    away to Berlin :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    to see friends of old (rather than old friends) :T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    and have ein bier bitte :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
    (or maybe Zwei) :beer::beer:

    I will try and keep a lid on it Mr Z. I don't think I'm allowed to get totally trollied on the travel insurance.

    Shall go back to my FAVOURITE FAVOURITE ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE Bar in Berlin (which my friend has just referred to as 'a bit dingy' :rotfl:) The Tiergarten Quella, faithfully fingerspelled in my sign language exam (Yes, lets forget that subject too).

    Have decided to drive to the airport and booked my car park.
    Have also had a look on the forum and booked a free walking tour where I will tip (Gets rave reviews - so will have to check the other tours for an indication of how much they are for tipping purposes).

    Very very very excited.:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Right better go away and work out the budget for the month. There is potentially a weekend away back up north at the start of next month so need to check that out too. Not sure whether to book now or leave until I get back and have a decision on the house (it may look like I have completely forgotten the meaning of the word frugal :D

    Can book the train as I have vouchers :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Food is tastier than what your fridge and freezer are made of.

    Thankfully not undertake.

    So what makes it so good for you? (I looked at google and people just went on how large things brought to their table were. I'm sure you're not awed by size alone...)

    More a case of determining how potential potential is. The earlier you book, the easier to get a cheap room.
