Thanks for the tip about the timing, I'll have a proper look at flights nearer the time when I've sorted out the important stuff of the trip (ie taking my niece to a Chelsea match ) and I'm sure we can sort something out in daylight
yeay it'll be fabulous

White is my preference too, that and gallons of Prosecco.

Clocks will go forwards here at end of March so day will be lighter and longer.

Looking good

Plus a bit o' cheese and a few breadstick things

Let's get this party started girl.


Now then! Any tips from anybody who knows Poll personally? What do I need to do or have to make her stay in Italy the best? Is filling the drinks fridge enough

I knew you'd be one of the first to chip in being on a similar time frame and all that. I can do the drink and manage the power points .... by which I presume you mean plug sockets?

How many gadgets can the woman fit into a simple rucksack?

If that's what she wants she'll have to bring her own .... and not make me gip at the smell of Marmite. Maybe she'll make do with a great pizza and litres of wine.




What Berlusconi! That twat! I hope she doesn't spout as much shite or make as many false promises !
