morning all - I will come back to my crisis much later

In the meantime on FB this morning someone gave the www address of an American cruise company which is worth registering with as often US prices are cheaper than what we pay

(you just have to check that they will sell to someone resident in the UK)

so I put in my details and it came back with this one - it starts and finishes in Southampton.
check the prices against the ones that Iglu quote
- and it includes some nice OBC

Nice one mhoc, I can recommend Vacationstogo, we booked our Caribbean Cruises last year and this year with them - just three weeks to go:j WooHoo:T
Very helpful and knowledgable - and cheapest prices we found. Although we are Royal Carribean Gold Members (after just one cruise!) their prices were better than direct with RC.

Mrs_stinkface

Mhoc- sorry I didn't reply to you yesterday. Hope you are ok.
Did you order the necklace in the end? Have you had an confirmation email yet if you did?
Someone has already put up a piccy of theirs that was delivered by courier this morning so it's looking good x

Decided to replace my glass high balls as they were looking a bit cloudy and scratched. Given this is recycle week, aside from throwing them in the recycling bin, any ideas what I can do with them. I have 12. (OH is never keen me putting things on freecycle for randoms to appear and case out the house.)

Going out now to pick DP up from work.

Passing another Sada so going to get some more simple and pick up my CC for udi's from a store that never seem to have them in stock. Shame

Will also buy the same chocs again to see if the multi is still missing. May sub the twirl for twix, just to live on the wild side!

My mystery fizz:

2 x Moët & Chandon
2 x half bottle of Veuve Cliquot
1 x vintage Cordoniu Cava
1 x Plaza Centro Prosecco Treviso
1 x Ogio Sparkling Zinfandel Rose

Never done mystery fizz before, just the white, so pleased with my first attempt. Or as DH put it, after the Moët, all the rest is gravy :rotfl:

If you haven't got a dispatch email then you probably won't get now as they are now sending out cancellation emails.

IMHO Veuve Cliquot is a better champagne than Moet. Is it orange label?

Do you think they are heat proof? They are dishwasher proof.
