    I had to pop out and pick up a prescription this evening, popped into Asda for some potatoes and may have ended up with 36 mullers, 30 bakery muffins, 12 giant cookies, 15 donuts, 8 pain chocolate, and some Danish pastries and a few dozen rolls and a chicken spent £12 ish and got £11.40 back.:j:j

    Has anyone holidayed in Morroco? I might be going on another holiday with DD2 this year but she doesn't want to go back to Turkey even though I do. :(

    Not sure about being 2 lone females...

    Also looking at Mexico, Greek Islands, Bulgaria and Croatia. We want to go AI as do not want hassle of managing money while on holiday, do enough of that the rest of the year. ;)
    I love the Greek Islands, but would never do them AI, You meet peeps and get more for your spend when you stay Sc or b&b

    Yes, but it's a while ago....:eek:

    I went to Agadir with a female friend in 2004 to celebrate our 50th birthdays. Brilliant time, camel-riding one day, and another day we did an evening trip into the desert to see a Berber village, with sunset, traditional tagine supper and drumming and dancing, rest of the time was souk, hotel pool, beach, shopping, massage etc. And lots of food.

    Ate out every evening, intending to try different venues but inevitably we found a favourite early on, and at the end of every meal they presented a red rose to each of us. Hotel had nightly entertainment, quite a variety, juggling, traditional singers etc, followed by disco, and the waiters were very polite and friendly, always made time for a chat.

    Taxis were cheap and we had no problems. Apart from the night we locked ourselves out of the room, we had gone to sit outside in pjs and the door slammed shut in a breeze, so yours truly had to wander through the disco dressed in my best Victorias Secret, looking for staff. Then we had to wait while they got ladders to send someone in through the window as the key was inside the lock...

    And there was a guy we met in the souk, but that's another story...

    All good fun. :D

    We made a point of dressing respectfully to go out, long summer skirts/trousers, but hotel was very relaxed.

    So sorry but couldn't help but think of camel toes!!

    Talking of droid I got a sumup reader, arrived today but my account has been blocked by security until I explain how my business will be using it. Sadly this means that if I do try a transaction it beeps on the phone but then gets transaction declined :cool:

    Oh what a shame lol

    What a b'gger I must have bought a couple of dozen of them a couple of years ago, thanks to you!
    The following Christmas everyone got their present in a 'Shaw's bag'
    I still use them and have at least 6 unused in the cupboard from hell!

    I don't think I brought them over, I seem to remember it differently :o but I do have rather a stash of them at the mo :D every time I go past a Shaws, which to be fair isn't that often, o pop in and buy 10 more :rotfl:

    I would never do AI in Greece either, though lots of Germans and Russians do when I've been. I like to get out and go where the locals go :)
