    Bob, Bob, Bob! As a long time admiring of your contributions to the board do you have to have a Jimmy Savile moment?

    Yes, because 3am is such a suitable time for 3 under 5's to go to bed!!;)

    The niece is 18 and on holiday, at that age would you have gone to bed at say, 10 oclock?

    As a 'guest' of the OP, I might have negotiated some baby sitting duties to allow the OP some quality time with her partner - which is what she hoped for in earlier posts.

    I'm hoping they seperate us on the flight
    Might be the only way I'll get some peace.

    Good call - make sure you have some 'refreshments' on hand to enhance the tranquility!:o

    If Jimmy Savile had stuck to 18 year olds there wouldn't be a problem ;)

    Hi Dememted Housewife,

    You have my sympathy! I can't believe some of the jerks on here.

    I would

    a) Phone the Travel Agency, speak to the store manager. Tell him/her if they do not sort this out, you will write to the managing director and make a formal complaint.

    Or

    b) Phone/email hotel directly and speak to the manager there.

    I applaud your destination choice. What idiot suggested Jamaica was an "odd choice" to take kids?? What, should we all be going to Malaga?

    Hope it works out!

    SFG x
