Josy1953 Posted August 22, 2023 #49101 Share Posted August 22, 2023 It looks like another warm sunny day. I need to go into town for a couple of things so I am trying to decide whether or not to walk in, it is only about 2.5 miles each way so good for getting a lot of my steps in early. Have a good day everyone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I hope Sharon is on the mend now after such a painful incident . Also credit where it's due to @Host Hattie for looking after the board as well as her own Cunard, on top of her own personal and working life, well done that woman .🙂 Lots of posters seem to have drifted away and I hope @kruzseeka is keeping well.🙂 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalos Posted August 22, 2023 #49104 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Today I think we could do with the help of P&O cruise Laundry expert @DamianG😉 We called by at our Granddaughters home (the eldest who is with child) She is in the last weeks and massive and in a lot of pain even more so trying to bend to do the washer . Nan being Nan ,to the rescue has brought it all to ours so our washer will be earning it's keep today . They tell me the baby is almost engaged (not into all this maternity jargon ) I wanted to know who the boyfriend was and had they chose the ring yet .🤣 Hope you all have a good day take care . 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to manage the installation of call centre systems for my employer when I was working all the headsets had acoustic shock prevention set on the headsets at around 100db, a whistle emits from around 110db upwards. We also recorded calls, so anyone who abused a call agent would not only have the call recorded, but the number dialled from. We have Call Guardian on our landline, so anyone who is not in the phone book on the phone has to announce their name, most scammers or robodiallers will hang up. So if I am rude to some person trying to scam my money ,I get put in their black list for abusing their staff?. .. Result. 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted August 22, 2023 #49109 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Well I have decided to start the new day with a positive attitude and stop moaning and fretting about the dining arrangements for January on Britannia. I am going to get into the Caribbean swing if things, and channel my inner Boy Marley from now on. (Nothing dodgy!) Have mentioned this to hubby who gave me the knowing look only a long suffering husband can give so the challenge is on.. Found this and love the cartoon and with a foodie theme.... enjoy https://youtube.com/watch?v=HNBCVM4KbUM&feature=share7 Edited August 22, 2023 by Presto2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Presto2 Posted August 22, 2023 #49112 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Ps Have decided to go expecting the worst and plan a strategy. Then we can only be pleasantly surprised. There is logic in this somewhere ... have read too much Winnie the Pooh and Eeyore ;-) 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Presto2 Posted August 22, 2023 #49113 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Any idea what time the ship will leave Barbados Megabear and how long it takes to get from the airport to the ship?

Hope they are all well and enjoying life and that some might pop back in from time to time for a catch up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. We are due to land at 3.50pm like you I think. Usually sails around 5.30 to 6.00pm. The minibuses are travelling in convoy nowadays. Depending on traffic 40 minutes to an hour. Saturday's are usually not held up too much by local traffic. One point - as PE you will alight the plane first as do we. Therefore you'll be on the first couple of minibuses but due to the convoy don't be surprised if you and I end up at the back of the queue to check in at the shed. Make sure you have your phone handy, you should be able to do the log in to app bit from outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, I was getting really uptight and muddled because I couldn't understand the breakdown of the cost of our NCL trip. OH has the attitude it's paid now so what. I got uptight that he wasn't bothered! I don't like to feel ripped off. I think now that the breakdown might be right but if not it's all paid now enjoy the warm up to the cruise. I am not going to moan or investigate anymore, just enjoy looking forward to it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
