    It's a very densely populated country so they have to make room somehow!

    Only joking. It's a cracking city that will feel like it's foreign and familiar at the same time. We stayed in a room in the Hotel Singel ,

    You can put placemarkers in for your lists though I bet you've already thought of that.

    No, I'm sorry: although I'm "Savvy", I'm not really computer savvy about all these things yet but I'll get used to it!

    Sorry Savvy I meant making a few posts at the beginning of your thread "reserved for AvT" and so on until you have time to copy your lists across to the new thread. Sorry not making myself clear I have the lurgy and using dh's mobile which is a pita :). Hoping this makes sense will be great to see your new thread.

    Evening guys, I have just got back from a break to Amsterdam, we went on the boat on Friday night and came back this morning, boy what a busy place that is!!!



    So, whats been happening in the world of the elite?
    i am going to have a quick catch up now but notice the soft and gentle still happening and now the potatoes with herbs again, are we heading towards the merry go round again? ;)

    I see all this talk of Amsterdam tonight, if anyone wants a cheap getaway, P&O Ferries are doing BOGOF at the minute for £79 for 2 people with 2 nights on the boat and a full day in Amsterdam.Sailing from Hull.
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

    I'm not sure I'd want to stay in the smallest room with the radiator like that :eek:

    Can you recommend a good place to stay, centrally? I've got the Elite on a mission for me, Easter weekend for less than £250

    Hope you had a fab time :D

  • Wow Savvy, you just keep on coming up with the goods, don't you??:T:T

    I really must apologise for doubting you when you joined the Elite a couple of months ago. Unfortunately, you joined during a period where several AEs were posting and your style led me to believe that you may be one of them.

    However, you have proved yourself time and time again since before Christmas and I must admit, your posts have been invaluable to a lot of us in our quest to save loads of cash.

    So, given that Nannylalla can't start the new thread, how about you, Savvybuyer? Without a doubt you deserve the honour of doing it. Does anyone else agree?:D:D

    here here :beer:
