    Afternoon all.

    Update on my car:-

    Still not fixed, garage phoned not long ago, to say got another hitch, I said "another one".

    Apparently Ford, wont guarantee the work they have done on the car so far, because they never asked for authorisation before starting the work.

    Great, the car is only just 12 months old, so it is covered by warranty, this is a Ford garage I have taken it to, cant understand what they are playing at, its so annoying.


    I have been busy at work today, and could really do with some cheese, but got zumba and clubbercise tonight and cant be bothered afterwards to go, too far aswell, and going in the wrong direction doesnt help matters.

    Hope all the Elite that are unwell, are soon fit and well, take care.

    I messed up one of my cheese shops last night by being a smart A and only having 8 different items ... for some reason Wispa is missing from the receipt so only 7 items and no comparison :o.

    Schoolboy error - and all because I was in a rush, 20/30p of extra fillers has cost me £8 :(.

    A reminder to all to have a few extra items in case one fuller is missing, doesn't match or whatever.

    Forgot to thank bubbs for cheese :) xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Firstly, thank you very much Bubbs for the cheese tipoff!

    Secondly, I have been swayed by the offers from Thomson (and the very helpful comments from several people on here about Thomson Cruises) and I have booked 2 cruises, one for May (DHs birthday) and September (wedding anniversary). Both are in the Med, ne from Palma and the other from Dubrovnik and have the £75 discaount plus AI drinks packages. Interior cabins (cos if I am sea sick I want to lie down and suffer in my cabin without seeing any water through the window!) but on decks 3/4 and 4/5 so not right down the bottom.

    We are complete Cruise Virgins but I don't see how we can go far wrong with these (especially as we can fly from Exeter which is only an hour or two up the road from us). Thanks guys.
