    what to do with €50 voucher

    This might sound like a long shot.....but you could always take it back to budget and ask them if they will cash it in for you.....knowing budget, they probably won't, but i know of other agency's that will do this.....they will deduct a 10% service fee and refund the rest to you......it's worth...

    Housewarming gift ideas?

    A friend of mine has just moved into a new house. I have no idea what to buy for her. We would be relatively close but not best buddies or anything. This is her second home and i did the candle and wine present thing the first time round so I wanted to think of something different to buy for her...

    Big black house spiders.

    Oh my god.....don't tell me they're nesting in my house! We don't like cats and i'm allergic to them anyway. We have big dogs so a cat wouldn't last very long.

    Big black house spiders.

    Hey Clubman, it was really huge.....it was about the size of the palm of my hand.....and i'm not saying that i have huge palms but i thought it was huge for a spider! I met another one in my bedroom last night.....identical to the one the night before......i'm hoping they're not nesting...

    I agree with Sammie110.....i stayed in Los Cristianos a few years ago.....i wasn't too crazy about it at all......didn't like Veronica's strip in PDLA either.....but the area where the Parque Santiago 3 apartments are is gorgeous......and they are really nice apartments......i would definitely...

    Cost of hairdresser for ladies

    I get an all over colour now rather than the highlights.....i pay €75 for the colour but it is twice the price if you go for highlights.......if i go in for just a trim it's €65 but if i get a trim with my colour it's €75....doesn't make sense but that's the way it is! Women are being completely...

    Abbey Travel Charging for Consultations/Advice

    Re: Abbey Travel charging for quotes I don't see the big deal with this really......okay maybe €35 per person is a bit steep, but to be perfectly honest I think that agents should be charging on enquiries like this......if it's a straight forward booking then obviously they don't need to charge...

    Accommodation in or around Kinnitty Castle

    Thanks for the opinions......ideally she would like to stay at the wedding venue but it's pretty pricey and she has heard so many mixed reports......if everyone said it was gorgeous she would jump at it but a lot of people have said that there's a creepy atmosphere, not great food and quite...

    Where to stay in Lanzarote - Oct '07

    I wouldn't recommend the Morana or the Kontiki....although they are nice apts they are up cardiac hill! The Fariones is really nice but maybe a little over budget. The Costa Volcan apts are a perfect location and very clean.......the Puerto Carmen apts are pretty good.....Caleton Blanco are nice...
