Hi all, can anyone help me with this please? We want to go to Amsterdam for a couple of days end of Feb or beginning of March as its OH GD 3rd birthday. Have spent all day looking but cant find anything that looks good. TIA
Give us a clue as to which area of the country you'll be travelling from, rosie.Also, would importing cheap alcohol be of interest?

I've decided my household is a dysfunctional one, and I mean other people in it and not me. Washing machine has been temporarily out of action, as the pipe froze, so some shirts at still at the cleaners (to be picked up mid-week). I thought I'd buy a couple of new shirts anyway as I've had all my current ones for quite some time.
The news on the T 4p ones came excellently timed, but it wasn't to be. I went to look round elsewhere but they were on full price and more. Thought I'd heard the washing machine being put on this morning and that some of my shirts would therefore be waiting at home, washed and dried.
The reason I say "dysfunctional" is because I have some other shirts but, after the pipe problem, the other person took them and all other items waiting to be washed and put them (temporarily I assume) in a bin bag in the back yard and covered them with a piece of carpet. Then, separately and later in the week, they put all junk inside the house, blocking the back door.
So I've come home - to an empty house as they've gone out - and opened the tumble drier and, not only has the drier not be put on long enough, so that the clothes are still a bit wet and ready to start smelling:eek:, but no shirts at all!:mad:
I've moved all the junk out of the way and of course the shirts and clothes in the bin bag in the yard are soaking well through and extremely heavy, filled with water and stinking badly. There's at least two washloads. I've now put one of them, with all the shirts, on - the other can wait - and put the tumble drier back on. They turn it off when it hasn't dried the clothes - and don't start me on the ineffective dishwasher setting they always choose despite being told numerous times, and time again, that it doesn't work!!:mad: Absolutely dysfunctional!!:rotfl:
I think I will move house (a bit drastic maybe, but a solution) and apply the only rule - if you want a job doing right, do it yourself. Others simply won't accept they have a problem that needs sorting. And until they do (which they never will), it won't be solved. There's absolutely no point mentioning it to them - the 'problem' I've had in the last few minutes - as I have already sorted it out now and time to move on. They can have their dysfunctionality to themselves as far as I'm concerned (rant over folks).
