    Good morning all, the sun is peeping out from behind the clouds and it is actually dry. I am hoping to get a couple of loads of washing dry :D



    I know this was sorted last night, but there is a fantastic tool in Windows 10 (and in Windows 7) called SNIP. It basically takes a photo of whatever you frame on screen. Just ask Cortana for Snip to bring it up.

    Thank you so much ! The screen shot thing on the iPad was easy but the googled instructions for the PC were too fiddled for my tired brain last night. I haven't set Cortana up yet but I searched Snip and it brought up the ap. I've tested it and its superb - I can see lots of uses for that.

    Thanks again

    Please double check T&C's are the same, particularly cancellation terms. I always take out their insurance (about £1.49, I think) just in case. That has always been refunded as well as the parking/hotel/lounge after I've used the service. Good luck.

    Thank you - I'm not too worried about cancellation as the difference is only £3 and, one way or another, I have to book a hotel and parking and I can't find a better deal anywhere. So, if they refuse the pay back I would still be OK with the HE booking.

    Its the same hotel with the same parking details, the same transfer to airport charge, breakfast is extra on both websites. I don't want to book breakfast in advance anyway as SAGA are messing about with the flights like they did last year and I may well have to be at the airport by 5am anyway.

    I do need to book 1 nights accommodation at the same hotel when we return but I was planning to phone the hotel direct to do that so as not to interfere with the HE booking.

    I have't got anything to lose if it doesn't work and it MAY be a good deal.

    Just had a survey email from Handmade Burgers, complete the survey and get a voucher for a free burger - voucher I imagine will arrive tomorrow

    it only lets you complete the survey once :(

    but I forwarded it to the ipad which has a different address and I've also done the survey for OH - fingers crossed we get 2 vouchers now :T

    incidentally don't automatically dismiss the survey monkey emails that come in from things like magazines - despite what must be ludicrous odds I've had 2 voucher wins doing these :T Usually they have quite short expiry dates so do them on tea breaks :)

    Have you thought about booking the hotel on return separately? Compare the hotel only price and if that is the same, if they agree to your outward leg just book the same for the return but don't use the parking element.
