    five nights there then on to Thailand.
    We did a trip like that a few years ago, we did Bangkok (where I had to wait for a couple of days for my suitcases but clothes are extremely cheap :D) followed by Phuket then Hong Kong on the way home. We bought a few electronics there but it was cheap enough not to go over the limit :D

    we're going to chiang Mai for 3nights, bangkok for 4 nights, then on to Koh samui for 6 nights, Koh Phangan 5 nights, Koh samui for 3 nights.
    then back to heathrow via Hong kong,

    Thanks for reply, we have a small hallway, 4 x 4 m living room, and kitchen/diner, so you come in to hall and have to go through L / R to get to kitchen and back garden, it's a small house about 30 years old, hey ho only 2 of us and the cat, we just want a nice carpet that isn't going to flatten and will still look good in a few years,

    We got a Scottsdale Twist, it has been down for 4 years and has not flattened but not a massively deep pile, the only thing I would say is it has faded a little in the sun. Bear in mind that the underlay is very important for the feel of the carpet, it is not worth cutting corner on that.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    I've got 2 nights to book - trying to figure out wether to do 2 seperate Saturday nights or if to just book a Friday and a Saturday together - I wonder if you stand a better chance of an upgrade with 2 nights ...

    We are also looking at London - I was wondering about doing early November when the lights get switched on.

    I've also seen a meal deal on groupon/livingsocial??? - for one of the London Hiltons - not dirt cheap but I thought it might be nice

    But booking it at the top of the To Do list for this week

    Oh, I might have to have a dig on living Social. I booked the Conran, looks very nice, and it has a coffee machine in the room, always a bonus for me :)

    I have just one walkers left so if some don't come tommorow it will be crisis time - I used 4 today, its surprising how easy they are to use.

    I honestly think there is just a delay in the system but if the worst has happened and no more is to come - well I think I've already had more back then I spent on crisps.

    Quite a lot of my crisps have gone to the food bank and incidentally I also took quite a lot of other things at the same time - exactly what others did as well so we spread the love :)

    I do normally buy a few extra bits when I do my big muggle shop :rotfl: buy a few nice treat items and also drop my fillers off at my local centre. Those of us whom can afford it should try to help out now and again :)

    I'm an 80/20 too and I dare not say how long I've had the carpet :eek::eek: suffice to say it has 6 of us plus a cat trampling over it, it does need replacing now though.

    Yes get the best underlay you can afford as that makes such a difference to the feel under foot and helps the carpet live longer :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
