Not at all, Amy. I used my landline on the 0800 number, so I presume that’s free. The 020 number was the one which answered after 100 minutes, called from my mobile phone, where my contract includes unlimited minutes. So I can put the refund towards a bagger oregano crisps for me and a new tin of furniture polish for Vera - her visiting hairdresser isn’t coming now so she did her own and by mistake picked up the Mr Sheen instead of the L’Oreal. Oops!

Janey I think the sooner you start the better your chance of finding the dates you want - somebody else may be wanting them.

i was looking at next years prices etc with tui and jet 2 tui would only bring up 7 day holidays and said technical issues. i looked at jet 2 didnt fancy any of the accommodation but i thought if i get cheap enough would stay 2 days so they got paid , then move to angeliki more expense, but still cheaper than booking flight only. Jet 2 only go from birmingham though which i hate when EMA so close TUI have ema but tech issues grrr, need something to look forward to.

Isolated and bored.
I've created and posted a video in the 'Video' section, if you're interested.

is everyone on here well ? ive had a weeks leave and it seems ridiculous to me im supposed to stay in, not see family or go to shops much, but when i return to work tomorrow at the hospital, we are packed in my office like sardines, have to share phones, i work part time so when im not there other staff using my computer keyboard. We had sanitiser on every desk, bought by ourselves ,thats been stolen ! if we travel by public transport cant distance. luckily im going by car and the council has suspended on road parking charges for all hospital staff, if you can find a space. So its ok to go to work but not see family, crazy.At least my clinics cancelled. Rant over. spent some of my weeks leave looking at holidays for next year, we have to have something to look forward to.

Cariad you put me to shame. All I have to do is stay at home and I’m struggling with that. How selfish of me.
THANK YOU.

Rant over. spent some of my weeks leave looking at holidays for next year, we have to have something to look forward to. I agree with everything you say.....it does all seem a bit ridiculous. I am frontline staff also and am ward based in a busy hospital.I am proud of the job I do and enjoy it(most of the time!),but the very nature of it means that social distancing is impossible,but as soon as I arrive home I am in lockdown. My personal opinion is that all frontline staff should be tested although there does not currently seem any urgency for this in most areas of the country. whatever jobs we all do,frontline or not,please everyone try to stay safe,and look out for people who may need a little bit of help. Very best wishes to you all.

On a completely separate note,we have decided today,very sadly, to cancel our holiday with TUI. various factors came in to play,including financial.but we decided it’s best for us to cancel. Out outstanding balance was due and we didn’t want to take the risk.
hopefully after all this is over,we maybe able to rethink. take care everyone.x

Bizarre at the moment.
The school is closed...
...but still open to kids of key workers...
...but I’m a key worker...
...because I work in a school.
So technically, my kids go to school to be babysat, so I can go to school to babysit. This cuts down on meeting more people than necessary, apparently.
In reality, so few kids are in, that staff are on a rota to come in once a week. Only even fewer kids are in than expected, so that’s been cut to once a fortnight.
So we’re not working? No, we are. Teachers are glued to their computers setting, checking and marking work. I’m not teaching, so I’m on the phone, checking the kids in my year group are okay.
