    Good morning all. I've been MIA since Saturday night as it was my birthday yesterday. Just had a mega catch-up and am so sad to hear the news about Princess Melody. I'm on the late shift at work today so won't be home until after toast time, but will be raising a virtual glass at 8pm.

    Have a good day everyone.

    I had an iPhone 4s and got fed up of it in general so decided to go with samsung. It, and the android system both me to are better than iPhone.

    I can't advise on contract because I bought them both outright and have a sim only thing with Virgin which costs me £13 a month

  • Hey All,

    I think it was Savvy who said she never knows when is the right time to comment in the midst of these moments. I again am in one of the moments, where my predicament seems laughable considering others lives right now. However, that said... I want to try and lighten the mood so here goes.

    Considering OH and I have both decided to quit work on the same day with the aim of growing our business now has to be the worst time to find those bargain flights to Florida for the beginning of June.

    Since the flights first came around in April at £199 I think it was, I've been too-ing and frowning with the idea of going. Our schedule from July onwards is chaotic with the business and means were going to be unlikely to go away again until February time.

    Before you go oh poor you in a sarcastic tone. I work ridiculously hard, 12 hour days, 7 days a week. If you own a business you'll understand it's very hard to switch off, you've always got to be thinking, on the ball etc. So going away for us is a time to switch off.

    So I've managed to get the flights for £250 (we're taking hand luggage), the tickets to the parks for £300 and looks like a half decent hotel with a shuttle to the parts for £300.

    Our ESTA is still in date from NYC in January, and we can eat at the diners etc relatively cheaply. So for 2 weeks, were looking at around £1,100 each all in.

    Do I bite the bullet?

    My other half is going crazy with me, I'm such an indecisive person and the smallest decision can be a real tough one, so this rather big decision that seems very irresponsible given we've just quit work is a very hard one to go ahead and do.
