If anyone got these they could look delighted and tell their OH they were going up to bed ahead of him and not to put the light on when he got into bed as there'd be a special surprise for him.

Then they could arrange the mop and bucket strategically in the bed, retreat to the spare room quietly and lock the door!

Think I might put the bucket on his head, and the mop where the sun don't shine :rotfl::rotfl:

On the subjet of city passes, has anyone had experience of the Roma Pass please?

I've never bothered with passes in Rome. If this is for museums etc, I find I don't do enough to make it worth it but I am a very lesuirely tourist. If it is for public transport, then even though I stay near St Paul's Outside the Walls, I still find a pass not worth it. When you buy a ticket it is valid for something like an hour (do check that!) and you can use it on bus, metro and tram (I think) so it is enough to get you to where you are going. Then I tend to walk so just need another ticket to get me back again. You can buy tickets from newsagents and small shops near metro stations etc.

If you want to get into St Peter's you might be well advised to avoid the queues (which can be horrendous) and book yourself the scavi trip (excavations under St Peter's) via the official Vatican website for it. As long as you are steady on your feet and not claustraphobic, they are absolutely fascinating. You have to do it in advance and there are a limited number each day. But once you have the tickets, it's a special entrance where you do security with a very short queue if any and afterwards you exit up into St Peter's, thus avoiding the long queue which can last for two or three hours or even more.

Re the Viking and Nectar offer do they need to be showing on ones Nectar offers please and do you have to be a member of Viking also ?.Thank you

You have to have an account with Viking and link your Nectar card to it using the business link. Then you just search for the item in the Viking site using the reference in my previous post and also spend £30 (before VAT). You don't need to have it showing on your Nectar offers. I think mine showed because I have loaded previous Viking offers to card even though I have not used them.

Mind you, I'm just assuming it will work but as always, Nectar takes time to credit your account.

Thank you Lovelies ♥







When you vote you have to vote for 2 trees...
Once you have placed your 2 votes (other on low ranking tree )
at the bottom it has a button VOTE (not donation/vote) - that takes you to fill in your email address.
Then you have to verify email & that makes vote count

I can't recall being asked if I had a business? I did register a while ago though. If they do, you can be self employed (just starting out )..
