    Evening Elite friends :beer:

    Hope they finally get DD2's paperwork sorted TS

    Another question about Airport Lounge. I'm told you cannot take food and drink onto plane from outside, can only take what you buy duty free, shops etc. So, when in airport lounge, can you take an extra bottle of soft drink from the lounge onto the plane, and mayne something to eat. Thinking :money: here ;)

    I always take sandwiches with me, no problem whatsoever. Buy a drink in Boots/WHS. Soft drinks in the lounge are usually on tap. If you are flying on a Monday, remember o2 priority. ;)

    We sometimes get the police helicopter overhead at night. :eek:

    They can see planes in the distance from where they live now but not really hear them, comes with living in the commuter belt I think.

    If we ever get a helicopter... we all go out to look!

    Everything crossed here that your DD's paperwork gets sorted out in time TS.
    Mhoc, love the idea that a year's worth of Aldi biscuits equals a night away in a hotel :D
    Finally got my cheesy wine email today :beer: and also got the latest cider in T. Emails for vests are also in, so will collect those tomorrow.

    Ditto but won't be here to receive it. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Pah, All this talk of the IHE made me fancy the good food show, so checked the Birmingham dates, so I could use the cheap train travel in the newspapers, nope, train offer finishes a week before it is on. Then checked Londinion one, and cheapest fare is about a ton....Looks like it is Sainsburgs deli counter again.

    Over last few months I have ordered a few different tops in the sales size 14 and 16 as they were so cheap. Couple 16s have fitted perfectly as well as 14s and last time a 14 was massive on me and I had to order the 12 luckily the price had reduced further by the time I did. :D So not sure what is going on with their sizing. :eek:

    Absolutely no way that you are that size. You are Tiny.
