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.

Sounds fab, very jealous!

I'm sure the seasickness won't be a problem. I used to get terribly ill on ferries and small boats, but cruise ships have stabilisers and are completely different. If not they'll probably have tablets at guest services (they do on disney cruise line anyway, and they're free!).

Is it crossed? if not you can do it at the post office or pay a bill with it, just write your name on

its years since I had a postal order, they don't even look correct now - think I might take it to the little PO to see if I can cash it first

Thank you MHOC.
A box of after eights shelf edge said £2, offer finished last week. Someone forgot to take label off. I really don't understand much yet but will learn. Probably slowly. :rotfl:

Well, I had to get in quick while I had DH in the mood! To be honest, they are only 7 night cruises, a lot of the sailing seems to be at night, if the food is OK I can always get plastered on the included booze (I am currently teetotal after my disgraceful behaviour last week when my Grandaughter had to put me to bed after a session with vodka and a few other bottles - but I can't see that lasting much longer !). I am sure we will enjoy it even if its not quite perfect.

this is what OH takes before we set sail

very nice - the trick now is to be very self disciplined and store them away for Christmas - ideally everything you get for Christmas has to have some sort of glitch, give away, DTD, freebie, clearance shelf or some sort of story attached to it

Me thinking with all this wine and cheese at the moment I think someone should have a wine and cheese party that we are all invited to,

I have the cheese (thanks Bubbs but no fizz:(

Could someone briefly explain the Aero thing as Ive been away and reading back is confusing as some posts say visible trig, some invisible ? Thanks

Mint aero is OOS on a.com which seems to have pushed it into a separate 3 for £1 multibuy

Buy 1 Aero and 2 other chocs in A's 3 for £1 to match Ts 3 for £1.20
or buy 2 aeros and 1 other choc

You pay £1 but it compares £1.80 v £1.20 (72p apg)

If you buy 3/6/9 aeros it will pick up a multibuy so stick to 1 or 2 aeros and 3 chocs total

Too late, I've already opened them. I'll be an :A next time.
I was so proud I couldn't resist.
Going to read back to find out about the wine glitch.
