We are flying on emirates on the 8th january from Manchester Airport :) .

The very best of luck.

I wish someone would buy our house :mad: . No luck selling after being on the market for a couple of month's now. We,ve had our visa for a couple of weeks and desparately need the sale of the house to fund our move.

We have even transfrered the cost of the flights onto an 0% interest for 12 months credit card! Then this weekend we had a mad rush of viewings and were lucky enough to sell.

We know how you feel and wish you best of luck.

P.s whre is it your heading for ?
