    Good morning all!
    The sun is shining here.
    I am happy to be back to normal after Easter Holiday. We've been to a Hounslow farm, which was fantastic :) Also lots of trips to museums in central London, swimming, playing, sleeping :)
    I wish a good day to all- time to get ready for some playgroup with my LO

    Oo forgot to say its worth registering with cruise.co for their cruise dates and price lists.

    There is a ship called Oceana which all summer is going up, down and round the coast of Italy, 7 or 14 night trips, flights out of London or Manchester included. These are already being heavily discounted

    Yesterday in the cruise.co email it said that they were also only adding a £20 surcharge for single passengers - usually its nearer 100% surcharge.
    - ok it's probably the 7 night trips before the schools break up and an inside cabin but apart from showering, changing and sleeping esp on a 7 night trip you are never in the cabin - far better anyway to spend your money in ports.

    Good morning.

    Another lovely sunny day here today. I have another physio session today for my shoulder. Fingers crossed it gives a bit more relief.

    Have a good day all :)

    Morning all.
    Just had a new one on me, called EE about something, and in the queue I was offered a 'fast track' queue for 50p. So they can charge me 50p to answer my calls quicker.....and what happens if everyone selects the fast track? As it was, my call was answered in under a minute anyway.

    MHOC - Not a cruise this one, well sort of, its just the P&O ferry from Hull, with a self booked hotel. Cheap as chips that ferry, so always good for a few nights away, but it is grubby compared to a cruise ship.

    David. - David, dont know what your slabs are like, but if they are concrete made to look like stone, as a lot of the ones in B&Q and the likes are, there is a factory in Coxhoe that make them and supply to various garden centres, but they also sell direct and are a hell of a saving on getting them from a garden centre.

    Which ship and in which direction are you going? Fly cruise or home port?

    I last booked anything since last October so I'd forgotten what a nightmare it is :)

    We just do Thomsons It suits us well It fly cruise to Greek islands

    They had a great deal over the weekend for the same holiday AI for just under £1000 for 7 days but on 1st May

    Hope you find a B&B

    MOHC- meant to say, I nearly went on a cruise this week with Cruise & Maritime, never cruised with them, but it was 7 nights for £350, cracking price, and it was from Newcastle, so would have saved me another £100 getting to Southampton.

    I have often wondered about these ferries, from the photos I've seen the d!cor looks very much like a cruise ship - how much do you budget for breakfast and meals on board?

    We did a Cruise and maritime one from Hull a few years back - Honfleur, Cove and back into Liverpool I think - only a short one. I think we were experimenting with ports other than Southampton and ships other than P and O.

    Cruise and Maritime still run cruises out of Hull - not dirt cheap sadly. But because it has smaller ships the ports are more interesting so its worth book marking the late availability pages on iglu and just watching the prices and saving the pennies. Its a new ship called Azores or at least new to them

    click on Hull cruises, outside cabin, low to high prices.
