    Mmm... watched too many travel programmes yesterday - Long Way Down where they went through Italy, and then the lovely Stephen Fry. Must remember I have BMI miles to use at some point (signed up to their Diamond Club, and you also get extra ones through a survey site thing) - if I remember rightly they fly to Naples.. hmmmm....

    cor..the things you learn on here:D I love Naples:o

    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    Diamond club is here - https://www.flybmi.com/bmi/en-gb/diamond-club/diamond-club/diamond-club.aspx - not sure if they're still doing free miles when you join up.

    And survey place that does BMI miles is here - http://www.e-rewards.co.uk/welcome.do?ln=en&cc=GB

    Just noticed that BMI also do 'treats' such as vouchers and wine.. ooh... choices!

    So debtbusting can be fun too! When I'm right side up, I'm definitely going to pay attention to the travelling side of all of this. Thanks squirrel! Thanks Bob!

    Got to say BMI are a little bit sneaky though - you can pay for flights with miles but then you have to pay all the taxes etc in cash! I've got enough for some M&S vouchers so I'm going to go for them for the Christmas fund instead :D

    Now, I'm not sure how much I 'believe' these things, but after the other day's horoscope about free things, here's today's, hmm...
    You may experience a sense of wanderlust and adventure.
    Routines and daily chores will not appeal to you at all today, and no matter what is said you will not be able to settle to anything. Something is encouraging you to start living on the edge, and the realisation that life is a journey and not a destination seems to make brilliant sense.

    just edit it a bit and go for ' lust and adventure':D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
