    It was, you gave me a real fright with that DVT! Glad to see you're better again, but definitely keep looking after yourself <3 
  • Oh amazing, I sailed on the Uganda too back in 81 @Cornish_mum and it was brilliant
  • Hi All,
    Oh group cruise! put me down for that in 2046🤣 once the kids have left home. I can’t remember what the ship was called; but it was fun and we saw a lot of different places. It was around 93 and in the Easter holidays.  I had to save up my Christmas/birthday moneys & pocket money for about 18 months for my share of the tickets and my grandparents paid half of the costs. I was a MSE from a young age🤣. 
  • PS SC hope the new is going really well. CM

    I kind of like the idea of a cruise but DH was well against them until he realised the Disney have their own cruise line :lol: Now he want's to go on their Norwegian / Scandinavia cruise which is one of my bucket list items.  Might leave it for a few years though for when we can't stomach going on anymore rollercoasters :lol:
