    Takes me ages with a peeler and I normally end up catching or nearly catching my finger :(

    I cant peel with a knife, see we are all different:D

    Could it be Jose perhaps :) Can't you just tell mum you can't come that day :rotfl:(I know it would be more than your life's worth):rotfl:

    Sure is Jose :D

    Wish I could tell her I wasn't going but its not worth it she would keep ringing me to check I was ok and when she rings I have to put tv laptop etc on silence or it takes me 10 mins explaining what the noise is :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    opodo is a well known site

    edreams is related to easyjet, think they may be owned by the same people.

    try expedia.

  • I spent £12 on a tin opener brilliant.

    I'm left handed and really struggle with the normal ones OH can't understand why. I said I would get a left handed one and he said how is he meant to use it? ummmm the same way I use the right handed one - with difficulty.

    Got this one in the end https://www.amazon.co.uk/Joseph-Can-Do-Compact-Can-Opener/dp/B00LN718XM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470489569&sr=8-1&keywords=joseph+tin+opener
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)

    Thanks had not thought of expedia. Will try it now. Want to avoid the extras they try and add on. May take the excess insurance out from UK, but not decided yet.

    I do most of my shopping in W these days. The fairy and ariel glitch comes around regularly and the Pepsi one. I usually go at bargain time and do really well. Also free Newspaper most days and cup of tea. To top it off the staff are really lovely much better then my local T.

    Can I please ask about these glitches?
