Flights and other bits and bobs

This week we have been investigating flights from London to cape town and then from Cairo to London the prices we came up with on-line weren't bad but we wanted to have a full shop around so yesterday morning we popped into our local travel agent he sticks the flights and dates into the computer and comes up with a "very fair price" (his words) of almost double the average price we were finding on-line now I always knew the old travel consultants charged a bit of commission but I feel that's a tad excessive I'm sure you needn't be told but we have decided to buy on-line......

Nerves



This week my days off were supposed to be peaceful relaxing calming stress free days but alas instead I am practically a ball of nerves! for two reasons but mainly one! first of all yesterday I was required to vote now this should have been easy- walk into polling booth- tick box -leave. all pretty basic except this is me! I have never voted before so it would probably have been helpful to read the instructions printed out in big bold letters but I just followed Leigh who strode into the station I didn't want to be left behind so I scurried after him I did feel a bit panicky and nervous but did successfully cast my vote!







Onto nervousness number two this afternoon we are off to the travel clinic to see about getting us some jabs it strikes fear into my heart! I'm in two minds about the whole thing on one hand I hope we have to wait well they order some vaccine putting off my pain for another day but on the other hand I just want it done!.....HELP!!!....
