The very thought :shocked:, so sorry Jay :sorry:

First world problem I know, but trying to get Mrs G to decide exactly what she's wanting from a holiday so I can make some calls and start getting some prices together.

So far it's either Dubai or Dubai and Thailand, or Las Vegas and San Francisco and somewhere sunny (Mexico or Carribbean).

If you are going for a fortnight, can I suggest 3 days in Vegas, 3 days in Los Angeles (kids can do Disney), then a week in San Diego (SD is always sunny) - nice driving routes as well.

Another tip if you are flying to/from the USA is to fly from LBA to Dublin, then get the flight to the States from there - you clear Homeland Security at Dublin Airport (takes 30-60 minutes max), and the flight is then treated as an internal flight for the USA, and you miss out the 2-4 hours it normally takes to clear Homeland Security when you land.

I highly recommend Rhyl. She'll love it.

I’ve been to both San Diego and Rhyl - both nice in their own way, but preferred San Diego…

We did New York some years ago via Shannon to clear customs in Ireland.

We love Las Vegas and will never get bored of going, it's so tacky it's actually quite classy in a funny sort of way.

We've done northern California but never the south so that's something to think about.

Will only be the 2 of us - daughter is married and can afford her own holidays these days!!

Have an elderly Aunty in Old Colwyn so Rhyl is somewhere we've been, maybe I'll leave this one there :erm:.

But being serious, Thailand seems to be off as Mrs G's vegetarian but nearly vegan so food might be an issue. However, it's now looking like Dubai & Goa but the flights might be a nightmare so probably looking like 2 weeks next March in Goa and another trip later next year to Dubai. And we'll also probably end up having a sneaky week in Turkey this September.

7 texts since 8.30 AM from Capita reminding me my PIP assessment is tomorrow. 1 or 2 is plenty haha

Incredibly stressed. Capita was meant to call at 9.15 for my PIP assessment and no call. I have called them and they say running late. How? 9.15 is gonna be their first call. Anxiety through the roof

Don't take this the wrong way Jay.

Just try to keep calm and composed Jay as you will need to be when they eventually arrive as a clear mind is a focused mind.

kinda resigned to it not happening. I have called Capita and it is still on the system but they try to contact the "health professional" and are getting no reply. They are trying to say they are running late. IMO it is unacceptable leaving people for over an hour now with mental health issues and not at least letting them know

---------- Post added at 12:07 ---------- Previous post was at 10:19 ----------

Still no call. Capita say it needs to be investigated. I told them to make sure it is noted that it is not my fault. I have to call back next Tuesday. Which is endoscopy day so more fun

A bit concerned that I may have been slowly poisoning myself.......

I bought a new Brita water filter jug as the old was looking rather lime scale grubby on the outside and got a good deal for £12.

Took the old jug apart to dispose and found a green film of algae smeared around the top 3rd of the inside of the jug!!! I've used jugs for 10 years and this is the first time I've experienced this. :Yikes: :disturbd:
