Ilovetoshop....
What about trying something like this. I just put in a width of 1 tile, and a length of 30 to get an idea.

lovely colours but I would be a bit more random and not put all the small bricks together in a line, saying that I would probably have to draw a plan first to see what the various options looked like when finished....im awful at making decisions!!!

if they are the same size both ways I would at least rotate the small ones 90 degrees to give a different look.

Help needed please.

I have generally not taken any notice of the HE posts, since I dont fly.
But just booked another cruise this morning, and fancy going down the night before. I have looked, and there is a Holiday Inn (West) listed. It is £96 on HE and £86.40 on the Holiday Inn website. So far looking good. When booking with HE, I can not see the option of paying the extra so that I can cancel, where abouts is this option please?

Edit: Found it. They have the same hotel for £119 and with that one it is possible to pay the extra to cancel. I am more confused about this now, as how come the same hotel is even more?

Do these 2 look like they compare please?

dm your second link wont' open for me so can't compare. Is the rate on the holiday inn express site flexible or non flexible, thats the first question? Also, is there a discount on the holiday inn page (£86.40 is an odd rate, makes me think you are getting a member discount or something?)? You can't have any discount on there.

Edited to add - I've looked myself and that is a member discount rate, so no it wouldn't work. The standard rates without the discount are the same or more expensive that HE. Sorry.

I will see if this link works, its the second one down. The price is just a reduction on their usual rate.

Edit: that just takes you to a page of the hotels, so no good either.

Thank you for MyLocal heads up - got lots .

Alcohol also now included - £2.50 for 4 packs of beer, £5.99 for 10/12 packs (not as good as we get that price on offer!).

Did you see my edit on my post? Won't work if its a discounted rate basically, and that seems to be discount for being an IHG member (well, thats what showed up on my computer anyway when I searched, and I am a member).
