Where did you find that? The cheapest I have been able to for October going the other way is like, $1000

Well my sister found it really. She was looking on cheaptickets.com yesterday, and found that when she put in the dates they wanted, it came up with the aerlingus + virgin combo as costing around $840 or something, but when she clicked on that itinerary, it says 'we found an even better deal for you: $475.

We could only book it for 2 people, so we took a risk and went ahead and booked it for 2 people, and then went back and booked another one, luckily we got that ticket at the same price. The flights were monday to Thursday, i think 19 days in total, don't know if that made any difference. I know that when I looked at the london - lax leg separately, there was nothing as cheap as the deal that they got.

It's crappy here today. Overcast, and the forcast is rain all week. Miami, here we come!

Thanks for the tip. I need to find a cheap flight to see my honey. I miss him too much.

Watched our wedding video at the weekend really miss MN

good morning everyone!

Morning Charles

Congrats Muffin!

September is a good time for cheap airfare. I wish I had the time to take off work to slip in a quick UK visit!

Not long now though - are you going to be off as soon as the visa is issued?

kinda slow here today

surprised u would admit that about yourself charles

Mornin........feeling good today and the deer ran right across the front of our building forst thing

Flat is looking refreshingly empty - it got to a stage of cleared outness about yesterday afternoon, that I really liked. I wish I had got rid of loads of the clutter ages ago.

The boxes are off tomorrow...

Just got a text from SMS, visa arriving tomorrow!


Stu

I know and love that feeling



Fantastic news. Congratulations.

Nice one stu,

Poitin im Jealous i love de cluttering but DW wont let me until we are closer to the date. i think its because she hasnt moved as often as i have.

Well we are only 1 day away from our shipping stuff being collected - I tried to to some before, but I wish i'd done more. Ah well, it's getting done now anyway.

don't make me superglue your walker to the floor.

good morning all.

Ahh...visas on the way and decluttered flats. Sounds like things are going well here in the off topic area!

Its too hot in my office i need a fan or even better to go home

That's amazing news!! Three and a half months!! Wow!! Congratumalations!!


Wow - that is amazing!! My mum can only find like almost £600 for around Christmas or Easter. She's restricted to UK school holidays which might be the problem


Hahaha - tell me about it!! We have the aircon on full blast most of the time here and last night I don't know what was up with it - I just couldn't cool down It's supposed to hit 108 today but getting hotter throughout the week... I never thought I would be able to live in this kind of heat

In other news!! I have applied for my SSN as of yesterday and Jeremy and I also got a joint savings account and individual checking accounts with WaMu as BofA royally screwed us over ($300 in overdraft fees when he never even went overdrawn we're taking it further... any suggestions welcome ). It's nice because I feel like things are finally getting more "real" like I have a life here and it's not just a holiday. Cards (SSN and bank) should be here in about two weeks

I think I need to go here - anyone been?

I'd say Post Of The Day, but it was yesterday. So, Post of Yesterday.

Muffin ~ Congrats on the GC!

Bit out of the way for me but looks awesome!!!

Hey everyone! glad to see lots of posts here today.

Just sent off our desk office chair, side table and shelves with the lucky gumtree buyer. We could have tumble weed through here now!

*makes swishy wind noises*


No, not THAT type of wind noise.

I met my hubby 4 years ago today here:

Happy meeting day anni, dev!

Maven says hi to Uk VJers & she will have the internetz in a day or so & be back posting in no time, with tales of moving, I'm sure.

Happy anniversary Dev, we celebrate the day we met as our anniversary too!

Happy Anniversary Dev.

Ours is soon too 18th of august

Thanks everybody.

It's not our 'real' anni (that's the legal wedding 11/10) but a day to go out to dinner & raise a glass. The cool thing about today as well is that our nephew was born a year ago today!

Congrats on 4 years Dev! Where is that bar? It looks wonderful.


We celebrate various anniversaaries too, not just wedding - any excuse to raise a glass. Though we don't remember the exact day we met

Aww - well I don't think I could tell you when we first met online, but first e-mail contact was 4th October... 2001 I think and first meeting in person was New Year's Eve 2005/6. But I am sure we will still celebrate when Jeremy comes home from work today (once we sort out our dire finances) just because we aren't bored of being together yet

We always celebrate our meeting day, which was 16 Sept. 2004. i can't believe its nearly 4 years ago! And 5 months today that we were married! Time sure does fly.

Well it's only three weeks til we make our February wedding official Then we can truly celebrate - three days after will be our six month anniversary

Clerkenwell- tucked in a nifty passage!

It's a Belgian bar with plenty of moule frites.

Oh how I miss London......

4th October is my birthday.

ours just passed, 14 july, Bastille day, and we were in New Orleans so it was cool.

Having a problem - although my shipping boxes are only going to the port, they need to have a destination address for the customs form, do you think I can put on a hotel address or something? I thought of this too late to call them today, and they're coming for the boxes tomorrow - anyone know? Or can think of an address that would be ok to use?

I know the shipping companies I checked with offer storage at the other end - you could do that for a day or two perhaps? Or arrange to have a storage locker and put that address? Or put a relative's address then change it when you move?

They just filmed our office for an into for an NBC show to air in 2 weeks.

I didn't even try but I'm right behind the speaker (center of the shot)!

Damn, looks like I am missing out on Belgian beer week

Poiteen - Ask the hotel - if there a lot, I doubt it....

C's family is in Miami, so don't think that's such a good idea. I will call them in the morning, but i'm annoyed with myself for forgetting to sort out this before

I think hotel address will be fine (is that where you are staying?). I put my temporary address and then told them to deliver to my permanent address when the stuff arrived at the port.

truth is i don't have a hotel address yet. Having been running around doing so many other things, i've been putting it off. So I would be booking one tonight just for the address.

Tried calling an old college friend that I know that lives in Venice, nobody home. Grrrr. Why did I not deal with this sooner.

Is it friday yet? Good morning

Morning all, time for coffee and toast. Boxes being picked up in an hour, and our cable, internet and phone being cut off soon too. So see you all in a few days!!
