It’s been way too hot so glad it’s a bit cooler today, still meant to get to 23 degrees here which is just perfect. We have a busy few days ahead, four grandchildren coming to stay for three nights, it will be tiring. Going on a helicopter flight later today with them( belated Xmas pressie) then Pizza Express for tea then Monday booked to go see a show in Blackpool with a meal. Hope it’s going to stay warmish so we can get on the beach. Have a nice weekend everyone and stay safe Michelle 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had forgotten that the girls were born on the same day to 2 nurses who had met as students and became best friends as well as colleagues in the same department at our local hospital after graduating together. The girls will be going to the same high school in September, hopefully continuing their friendship there. That’s so lovely Josy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Hill Posted July 24, 2021 #23761 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Spent part of the day trying to get UPS to track down where they delivered my parcel,to yesterday afternoon, it wasn’t to our house. They tried to say he left it in safe place in porch, but when I told them that we don’t have a porch and neither the video doorbell or the security camera recorded anyone dropping off a parcel yesterday afternoon. Then tried to say the tracking number was incorrect, but it was one given to be in 2 emails from supplier. I contacted supplier who has now raised a complaint against UPS, see what tomorrow or Monday brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your photos are great and you look very happy. But it would be my idea of hell! Don’t like hot weather, don’t like beaches, don’t like sitting on the ground without proper seating and my husband and I would have gone stir crazy in 6 minutes let alone 6 hours! I like your idea of sitting in the car better - I could cope with that. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand that to a certain extent, but lying on a sun bed, under a straw sunshade, with a warm blue tropical sea lapping your feet, and sticking a flag in the sand when you want another ice cold beer, does have an appeal! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SarahHben Posted July 25, 2021 #23765 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Morning I've been wide awake since 4am so I watched Britannia sailing into Southampton, bringing Zap home.

They said we could go about an hour ago, but we are staying. We are back on in 2 weeks, so hardly seems worth going all the way up the M3 and then all the way back again. We may stowaway.🤔 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted July 26, 2021 #23774 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I gave in and bought a tiny fold up mobility scooter which folds to airport hand luggage size, with a trolley handle, to use occasionally on our Staycation in September and for days out... then we read that we could only take it if we had an accessible cabin, which we haven't. We were a bit upset because it isn't the prettiest of things, quite ugly in fact, but did what we wanted it for and the folded size was good. It was bought mainly for future cruises and days out. But if it was just days out we would have bought a different model. I just happened to glance at P and O welfare questionnaire again today and we were wrong. We can use it in the type of cabin we have. I don't know why I looked at the papers again, we were both sure it was a no to taking it. So the moral is, read everything once, then again to make sure. Feel better about it all now! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted July 26, 2021 #23775 Share Posted July 26, 2021 My mother bought one that folds is able to fold up to the size of a suitcase for days out, etc. It is heavy and awkward to get into the boot of my car. She isn't really happy with it as it doesn't like uneven surfaces, even ridges where carpets join, so is not taking it on our cruise, instead opting to take her folding wheelchair. The plus side for me is that when she used a wheelchair on our 14 night Caribbean cruise I didn't put on even a pound in weight😁 I hope you get on well with yours and enjoy your cruise and it enables you to enjoy days out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
