    My main grip is with all inclusive hotels as not as if you could spend much per head anyway.
    I am going to have a look at a really posh hotel out there and see where is near and cheap to eat. Really fancy the posh hotel but would have to be room only.

    I just think single people should be encouraged to travel more and it be made easier and correctly costed.

    I get a flight, perhaps book the first night but then just go round hotels and see what the best deal is. If you ask to see the room they show you the best one and you can often bargain. If you are also able to check internet prices (or research before you go) that is helpful. Most 'turn up' queries beat the internet but there are some occasions, especially with a cashback site, where you do better saying you want that room but will book online unless they are able to beat the online with discount price. This does not work at peak times near the sea, but apart from when we bumped into an unexpected festival (and just went on to the next town) or found ourselves in a two-hotel town, it has always worked for us. We book single rooms.

    Does anyone know, please, where I can get a heavily discounted fibre optic Christmas tree suitable for a window-sill? Tesco online are still only half price...

    Morning. M&s trip done. £34.70, down to £10 for two meal deals. Also, it didn't ask for the coupons to be inserted anywhere and I still had them in my hand when I walked off (didn't plan for it but was juggling tigercub, my card, my vouchers and my shopping along with her shoe that she had flung across the shop!) Key is to NOT press total. Scan coupons as another item after your shopping
