    What's your problem TRAVELMAN.. I think savapenny has already answered your questions in 440.. I totally agree these boards are for moneysaving but as long as everyone plays by the rules then what's the problem??:confused:

    Savapenny and sloppychops give a lot of time and great advise on the travel board and it would not be half the place without them.. They have both helped me out many of times and hundreds of other moneysavers..Sloppy gave me the confidence to do a DIY holiday two years ago and I've not looked back since.. So I for one would like to say a big thanks to Sloppychops and Savapenny..

    I'm off on one of savapennys moneysavers tomorrow... Cyprus here I come..

    I HAVE NOT made money from people off here I can 200% guarantee and if anyones want Cheryls number to ask her I will more than happy give it. If you recall I said that her dynamic packaging prices wasnt as good as since she moved company there for I wouldnt pass people on to her now unless I was sure she could beat the net and even them I DO NOT earn anything since shes been with Elite (part of Hayes) because her commision margin has dropped and shes been with them well over 12mths maybe closer to 18.
    Beside the bouquet of flowers I recieved from 1 member is worth more than cash any day.

    I second that Edna ...have a brillaint time

    Had a PM from Wood kitten she enjoyed her £45 holiday we found her :D

    I did clairfy how may I said I made about £50 in total
    3 bookings for my sister
    1 for her hubbies friends at work
    2 for her hubbies brother
    a good few for my mom before Thomsons hotels started doing the Matias
    1 for someone of HT when I worked on there which I havnt now for 3 years

    Now I have justified myself can you please Justify your self by a telephone conversation we had about the people on here being "waster"

    I think advertising is classed and "call me for a quote" and Idont think we need someone to coome on and cler it up your post about setting up a thread JUST for travel agents as been removed ...GET THE MESSAGE

    As far as I am concered this is closed I WONT be posting here (this thread) anymore no matter what TM says and unlike TM I mean it
