    I thought this was interesting for the non flyers - they also do various drink packages

    http://www.cruise-circle.co.uk/cruise-lines/msc-cruises/msc-train-newsletter/

    Not a great flyer? Tired of airport queues and security? Want to travel to your destination and not just get there? This exclusive rail, stay and cruise offer starts from just £399 per person.

    What's included
    Return rail travel to Marseille from London St. Pancras with Eurostar
    A two night stay at a 4-Star hotel in the heart of Marseille's old port area in a superior room
    A seven night Mediterranean cruise onboard MSC Preziosa (Genoa, Rome, Sicily, Malta & Barcelona)




    MSC Preziosa

    28 Nov 15 for 7 nights - 5 other sets of dates

    Mediterranean

    Includes Return Rail Travel & 4-Star Hotel Stay

    Marseillearrow Genoaarrow Civitavecchia, Italyarrow Palermoarrow Valletta, Maltaarrow Barcelona, Spainarrow Marseille

    When
    Travel between the 19th November 2015 and the 25th of February 2016

    Hotel details
    Located in the heart of Marseille, on the Vieux Port (old harbour), this hotel has a privileged location, with easy access to public transportation. The carpet in the corridors was custom designed for the hotel, reflecting the carefree 1950s. The hotel facilities include a lobby with 24-hour reception, a caf!, a bar, a restaurant and conference facilities. Room and laundry services are available, and there is free Wi-Fi.


    Ship details
    The classic design and detailed craftsmanship of our ships include a real stone piazza and spectacular features such as sweeping Swarovski crystal grand staircases and a magical ‘infinity’ pool.

    Award winning favourites such as the MSC Aurea Spa with beauty and wellness treatments melt the tension away. And the secluded luxury of MSC Yacht Club, a ship-within-a-ship of exclusive suites, butler service, dedicated facilities and private decks - all offer privileged access to the world-class leisure on board, including a full-gaming casino and Broadway -scale theatre. Discover services exclusive to MSC Preziosa, like the delicious Eataly slow food gastronomy and the adults-only sun deck complete with spa treatments.

    Dining is a highlight, with restaurants including Bayamo by Jose Garces, which specialises in seafood with a Latin twist, and Food Republic, serving a mix of Peruvian-, Japanese- and Chinese-inspired gourmet dishes (extra charges apply).

    For entertainment, there is a theatre showcasing two Tony Award-winning musicals, a casino and The Waterfront -- an outdoor walkway lined with shops and bars. There are ten bars in total, including a wine bar, Mixx for cocktails and a brewhouse serving 50 different types of beer.

    Activity-wise, there is a rope course and a waterpark with some of the fastest waterslides at sea. For relaxation, head to the Mandara Spa, complete with a vitality pool, a salt room and a snow room (the first ever at sea), or Spice H20, an adults-only retreat with its own waterfall grotto.

    tweets, have a good day at work. You're going to be tired doing the extra hours :)

    Good Afternoon :)

    We had a laugh in work today . Yesterday and today is EID yesterday we had 77 kids in so easy day . Today cook made enough meals for 80ish thinking numbers similar to yesterday. So wrong 10-30am office ring down with numbers :eek: 167 kids :eek: so panic stations set in :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: We managed but a bit annoyed at office not sending numbers down quicker :(

    And to top that off I was going to catch the bus to work it came 10 mins early so I missed it saw it going down the street when I shut my front gate. So I walked it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Then in work with rushing at home , around 9 I remembered I hadn't taken my pill. Don't think I will bother now see if pain stays away or returns.

    :o

    Up late, done washing, spent several hours on eBay trying to spend my £30 on Tupperware for my Mum. Hers is rather old now & it's what she would like for Christmas :o
    It is so expensive :eek::eek: for the genuine items, so many sellers using Tupperware in their listings when it is not :mad:

    Anyway some how or other I ended up purchasing a Liberty scarf lined in Harris Tweed instead for myself :o:o
    Plus an extra 500 Nectar points for a £30 spend

    No idea whatsoever. I've ordered 1 SIM each for me & hubby with no problem. Just be careful you don't add any of the charged for later items as apparently the service works OK for free BUT their customer service (what little there is) doesn't want to take any charges off once you've added them. I'm just hoping that they add free roaming in the US a little later on as the last SIM we had for US cost us $50+. Otherwise we'll send a Freedompop Sim to one of daughters & just make sure we use it as often as we need to to keep it running.

    got it to work by using my main email, not one of disposable emails, wonder why? :o
    Would still like a smartphone on cashback but it needs to be working out free if anyone sees any good offers :rotfl: thanks
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.
