How much room have you got?
I have four bedrooms (but only two have beds in ).:)
Bring your air beds, you'll be fine. But don't fly into Gibraltar, too far away!(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0 -
sorry youve probably been asked a million times before , but what is a ski-er or skat -er?
(Repeat of post 839 :rotfl:)
Spending Kids' Inheritance
Spending Kash And Thoroughly Enjoying Results (for those who do not have children)
It's about using your money to enjoy yourself, not just hoarding it up for the next generation and having no life yourself. It doesn't have to be about travelling and holidays, someone has recently mentioned buying a new dishwasher.....
....which I did last year for my UK house. I'd never had one before. The Bliss.
Or it could even be helping a young family member with a house deposit for example. It doesn't mean you can't spend money on the next generation. Providing it is what YOU want to do with your money and that it does not diminish YOUR quality of life.
Hope this helps.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Oh, I see! I had a very paranoid vision of a forum full of wannabe Torvilles, Deans, and Eddie "The Eagle" Edwardses! Thanks very much, seven.

Join if you want to, we are always glad of members! Just stick the number in your signatures. I've lost track of the numbers but I think the next one's 15. So if peliroco and pinkduvet want to join they can be 15 and 16.(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Spent hours on line yesterday trying to book a holiday!
DH has become soooo cautious! I think he wants something for £350 with change!
We're also limited on time for various reasons. Grrr!Member #14 of SKI-ers club

Booking this one was a bit of a nightmare for us, so you have my sympathy!pollypenny wrote: »Spent hours on line yesterday trying to book a holiday!

We were in a travel agent being semi-tempted by a cruise (it had a sauna and an internet lounge but looked exhausting!) when I said I hadn't actually phoned this place. Didn't expect them to have vacancies but they did, so here we are!
However I'm not doing too well. I meant to bring a book I was given for Christmas, only I picked up the 2nd in the series not the first. Then realised I had failed to pack any bras! :rotfl:
Spent this morning trawling the nearest shopping centre, but no joy. Do larger ladies not WEAR bras in the Canary Islands? Will have to ask the caretaker's wife where she gets hers, she's no more sylph-like than me! As she's Bristish, I'm expecting to be told she stocks up when she goes 'home'. :rotfl:
Fortunately I have been taking some detergent leaves on holiday for the last few years, so some of them will finally have to be used! :rotfl:Signature removed for peace of mind0 -

Lovely joke on Scrubs this week. Older patient to lovely young doctor who had complimented her on looking well:
