I think that is why this is the most widely used interpretation, as with most old sayings there is no written evidence as to their origins. I like this site albeit there are usually contradictions elsewhere. https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/till-may-is-out.html

It has been a fair day her with plenty of sun but a bitter wind. I had another stint with the new power washer and my little pinkies were frozen, no chance of putting big coits away yet.

Quite possibly, we have done two 35 night Caribbean cruises on Oceana and didn't perceive any inside space issues during the cold and wet days. I would imagine money was one of the main factors.

I have the Stocksperk app on my laptop. I have a Chromebook. I do have some apps on my tablet simply because they will not load on my laptop as I get the same app not available message.

I wondered why they kept Aurora as they are both similar in size and were built around the same time. I have cruised on both and would have been hard pressed to pick between them. Maybe it is because Aurora is so popular with P&O customers, but that is only a guess.

I much prefer apps to web pages and I don't own a phone. I have my apps on my tablet which has the advantage of the bigger screen, some apps I do have on my laptop where needed. I think it will get harder to deal with some things without the apps soon as that is the way we are being pushed. I noticed yesterday that the best one year ISA's on one of the money sites can only be accessed via the app. Plus of course the Stocksperk app which will likely soon be the only way to access the share OBC, personally I prefer the app to the old method but realise it won't suit everyone for whatever reason.

Absolutely Kalos. You win some you lose some. We will look at a cruise and weigh up how it fits with schedules and needs. If it is a bucket list cruise that we really want to do we book at release for additional benefits and to ensure our place, this has worked well for us to date. If it is a nice to do but no big deal we will watch and wait and pay what we expect to be the best price, if we miss it, no big deal maybe next time. Sometimes we will get an email with a cruise that just takes our fancy at the time. Great when you are retired and you are half packed all the time and no commitments.

Here's one with Brian stood up

We are visiting St John later in the year. See Toms port guide, may give you inspiration saint-john-new-brunswick-cruise-port-guide-toms-saint-john-new-brunswick.pdf

I find the staff on the future cruise desks are very knowledgeable and know how to use their system which some onshore staff aren't. We rebooked the same cruise that bobstheboy is on and got 10% plus triple OBC. We expected that we would loose the deposit to rebook but the lady we booked with used that deposit towards another cruise we were booking. Some of the low deposits have been removed from longer cruises and the £50 has been upped to £100 which is still good. There are sometimes flyers that come to your cabin with special deals.

It will indeed, we have actually booked an Intercruise coach for this albeit our usual out of town hotel had rooms available.

+2 @Josy1953. Good luck

We have some gardens with magnificent trees, ours is quite small and I cut it back every year to keep it in control as they do easily run away. I have noticed the forsythia is also in abundance this year. It is quite nice here and very mild, it was 13oC as we were driving to Barnsley for a spot of breakfast. I decided to start the power washing this morning as we have a fair bit of patio and block paving plus I like to blast the moss off the fence where it has accumulated behind some of the bushes. Got changed set it up and lo and behold water was pouring from inside the machine. As it is a sealed unit there is not much I can do other than get a new one, probably only a washer/seal that has blown. It seems that they are following the path of all electrical gadgets and gizmo's where mending it yourself is not an option. More expense, grrrrrrrr.

A lovely sunny day here, warm enough to sit out in the garden for a couple of hours, our Magnolia flowers have opened today, this is the earliest it has flowered.

There is a facility to email them in your profile tab in the app, maybe worth a try. I sent a photo of my latest share certificate which is dated 2008 and that was approved. They may want a download/photo from the broker site/company that holds your shares that is less than 3 months old as not everyone has a share certificate as that is a bit dated now.

There is a list of ships available for sale, mostly the ones bought during covid, it is a mixture of rumour and best guessing as to what the outcome will be. If the ships for sale were smaller I would risk a shilling each way that Ambassador may take one but not sure that they fit the model.

Anyone with a few quid to spare? Seajets have these two old favourites. The company is advertising for staff and word is they could be launching their own cruise line. Watch this spave.

Is that the kids club? It is quite dull and damp this morning but mild. Happy St Patrick's day to all our Irish friends, my granny was 80% Irish, they called her Iris.

We are also trying to shed a few pounds in readiness for the next cruise, however we have fallen and have just finished a big bag of BBQ beef teriyaki sensations, washed down with a large rum and coke. Oh well, diet tomorrow. We have just finished watching Masters of the air directed by Spielberg and Hanks, this has been an excellent series based on a true story, there is also a documentary film out "The Bloody Hundredth" which we will watch.

I cannot speak for Selbourne but we find it no different whether it is 14 days or 40 days and whether it is a cruise or a land holiday. We recently returned from a 6 week land holiday and albeit we have the memories life just falls back into a routine. We then start planning for the next one.

I pulled out a nose hair this morning to see if it hurt. By the look on the blokes face sat next to me on the bus it does

I just got the email from stocksperk that my OBC was added to September cruise.

Good news Bob as we are on the cruise after you so mine may get approved soon. I was wondering whether they were applying the 90 day rule at Princess.

I have received a couple of emails from TA's, one of them at £824 for the 14 night cruise which isn't bad for 2025.

When is the cruise you have got the OBC for please?
