Plastic packaging which spreads chocolates and biscuits around so you think you're getting a big box but there's hardly anything in it.

And along the same lines, big crisp bags which are full of air but have hardly any crisps in them.

Hi Keefy - I've been looking in regularly but not always logging in completely - just trying to limit my use because it stops me doing housework. :oops: Oh, sod the housework, it's much more fun on the forum.

We are flying to Dubai next week to join Arcadia to sail back to Southampton. Not one of our better choices with everything that is going on in the Middle East at the moment. Not being helped by plane crashes, ISIS attacks and everything else that is going on at the moment.

I think another thing that should be uninvented is 24 hours news coverage because constant news coverage of some of these atrocities doesn't do a lot for my confidence. Sometimes ignorance is bliss. I have already decided that future holidays will be cruises from Southampton, no flying, and nice gentle holidays to the Canaries or Western Med although I wonder if anywhere is safe nowadays.

Hi Maureen,

Most would be apprehensive considering recent events but unfortunately being in the wrong place at the wrong time is something only fate can determine therefore try and put all negative thoughts to the back of your mind and enjoy the fasinating places you'll be visiting.

Btw...eat as much as you like.....the second instalment of the onelife pinch-an-inch diet starts soon....not that you will need to go on one l'm sure :)

Regards

Oh dear! Someone hasn't been trained to dig a nice little hole and then cover up the do-do. Sorry to hear that.
