Hi Jackie,
I have all sorts of ideas - going to do this then, and that then....
and I've done nothing! :rofl

(Except fret over the baggage handlers strike - if Manchester decide to join in the same dates
as Gatwick then we are up the Swannee..... :cry )

And it doesn't help that hubbys workplace have now changed his payday so he doesn't get paid
until we are already away! :banghead:

Youngest is plagued with ear infections and yes, he isn't well again - so,doctors at 10.15 today :(
My mind is just whizzing if I am honest....

Other than that everything is hunky dory! :rofl

So, 9 days / 8 sleeps for us - if the baggage handlers allow.....

this baggage handlers strike must be so worrying for everybody who is flying out at that time, it can be so disruptive for all the holiday makers, after looking forward for so long to there well earned holiday.... :(

milly molly, hope your son is better by the time you go away!

Looks as though Manchester is striking on Wednesday August 27th and Monday September 1st.

Thanks Clare. :kiss

Well, I know it makes me sound like a right cow - but I am so relieved that the Manchester strikes
are not going to be on 29th...

I am so sorry for people who will be affected, I really am.
(But, to my shame, I must admit that when I read the dates, the feeling of *phew!!!" was overwhelming! :( )

Lets hope they can sort something out before the dates given so that nobody gets delayed/flights cancelled.

One sleep to go!! Just started my packing and having a dilemma... :que

Normally I travel in jeans and trainers, but I know when I get to Mallorca the temperature at the moment is about 29 in the day, and 19 at night, so I can manage without both whilst I'm there. (Or can I?!?!?) However, if I travel in flip flops, are my feet going to be cold on the plane ?!?! I know that sounds daft, but I hate having cold feet!!

I land at 6am when I get back, so although it will probably be freezing and raining, I've decided I can manage for the short time it will take me to get home. Have thought about taking a pair of socks to put on during the flight?? I know I'll look daft, but I'll be sat down (unless I'm next to the passengers who spend the whole flight walking to the toilet and back!).

So, do I leave them behind (jeans and trainers I mean!)???

(and take some socks for the flight home - nowt worse than cold feet - it
starts at your feet and spreads right up - well it does with me... )
