nixy

Well, just found a flight home for next wednesday and subject to availability should cost me £24 to change my existing ticket to that flight. Found some flights back again in March for only a tenner and NO TAXES. So looks like that's what I might do now. Incidentally, on the 180 mile trip to Stansted I saw four 911's, 1 ferrari, 2 aston martins and NO ZED's which is why I love having one so much................ Although Harl said its because nobody likes them!

he's already hung on through so much so never give up hope. we won't either x

Well it seems I had the only decent day so far for travelling to airports yesterday. Stansted was no problem and the flight here was fine. It had been 18c yesterday and was still about 14 when i arrived (yes about 58f in old money). Beautiful morning today, blue sky looking over a valley. However, I am here to be with my mum while my dad has a serious op and would you believe it, the minute I got here they cancelled it! They have re-scheduled it for march. SO i am now thinking of coming home again so I can come back in March - that's if i can get a decent/cheap flight which is not looking good. Nightmare! Mind you I can think of worse places to be stuck................

Congratulations on having a big semi Dave! Not playing poker on your birthday are you?

but surely you'd have to be mad to bid on it unless you were just happy to give it all to charity. It's probably a right old banger despite having an MOT

believe it or not i am not a big drinker other than the odd gin and slim or glass of rose.

cheers Mart, was just going to text you for a traffic and travel report. I'll be around. Nothing else to do in the middle of nowhere but they DO have broadband..........There's only so much reading and walking I can do on my own.

That amused me rather a lot............and I can see why others were laughing. Sorry.

brilliant snowman! Is that a manu scarf? They will get their fans from anywhere!

don't turn your back on her she's probably still plotting the revenge attack!

they were bound to get it wrong eventually!

Thanks for that...........not until tomorrow morning so hopefully no snow by then - just the driving to contend with!

nearly all melted in York - still mega icy in the village but I made it ok!

yep correct! They said 5 - 10 cm's in York city centre alone forecast but in west yorks huddersfield etc up to 30cm. And it will drift.

forecast to freeze over and then have up to 30cm dumped on top tonight!

highly recommend the fine wire wool.

very pretty car. Keep the roof up - you will look a prat otherwise......

Mild and sunny apparently........

still coming down here.......... Just printed my boarding card for the airport - hope I get to use it......

photos?

I would get my own back eventually! When least expected.............

no, all alone today!

in my experience when you use a broker instead of going direct (as flux and bennets are) its always trickier!

thats what I said/meant

will totally depend on the credit agreement. Some companies use third party companies so it's almost like a loan where you pay interest up front. this happened to my son when he cancelled his bike insurance with bennets. He had paid monthly but still ended up owning them over £100 as his annual insurance payment had been treated like a loan. BUT if you paid in one lump up front that sounds wrong - although some charge £50 cancellation fee or even more. Will be in the small print.
