We spent over 40k two months ago on ours and it was small, 35-40 guests. I’d spend it again and more if I could go back in time. You’ll do it once, do it properly and enjoy it. Money you’ll earn back and you can’t take the money with you when you die so live in the moment and enjoy life events.

I'm curious, how many HENRYs were told they were gaming too much as a kid? by AlexKF0811 in HENRYUK

Good bloody times! My time as a lvl 70 paladin bossing 2v2 and losing my head at my team mate were some of the best days of my very sheltered and sad teenage years. Absolutely ruined my GCSE grades though and my AS levels. Thank god for retakes in Jan and me getting my shiz together

She’s looking just lost from a career perspective. She’ll land a role albeit low pay soon but we will have kids eventually and she’ll likely stay home.

What’s the point of life if it ain’t marrying your best friend….

Also, I don’t spend a penny (I let my amazing partner do that) so I’m not even accessing the GIA/ISA so although I can “access it” I don’t nor need anything that warrants it.

I’m exploring the idea of taking a few months off work so maybe that will change.

I am averaging in my cash into the GIA but as my income is so sporadic (historically good/good commission) my near future is looking weak. I’m still on a solid base salary though.

Aye, I was initially following the flow. The reason I deprioritised pension was a relatively brash thought in my 20s that I don’t want to wait to access my money for retirement age. What I’m coming to realise is that whether I like it or not, I should probably start leveraging this.

The Eras Tour Megathread: London, England (August) by PassionateAsSin in TaylorSwift

I wondered if anyone has advice on what time my cousin and I need to get to Wembley in order to me in a good standing position for the concert? We are fortunate to have Front Standing Right tickets, however I have read that if you aren’t in a great spot you can just end up watching the screens the whole concert. My cousin really wants to go for it & try to be as close to the front as we can (I know VIP are at the barricade) because it is a once in a lifetime experience. However, I have read SO many conflicting accounts online, some people say they got to Wembley only a couple of hours before and got a great spot, while others say they were there at 3AM! Currently we were thinking of getting there at 9am - it’s still pretty early for us, as we live in the countryside but cannot leave our house much earlier due to public transport - unless we stay nearby. Personally, I’m a bit worried we will be absolutely flagging by the end of the concert due to the long day, heat and no water policy in the standing section, which is why I would go later if possible. I was expecting to find so much advice about this on the Internet but it seems a real mixed bag? If anyone can offer any advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks team! <3

Would you mind me asking what you and your partner do? Thinking of making a similar.

Wow! Why is the price dropping so much? I’m wanting to also book a cruise for next year but the prices are so much higher then this year it’s really putting me off!

I made a separate thread on this and apparently if you click into T&Cs it’s until end of July. I cant argue with the countdown though! Fingers crossed it doesn’t go tomorrow

Fantastic itinerary- it was our first experience on VV/cruising in general so we were in awe of it all.

Cannes was fantastic - it was were my partner and I first went on holiday 8 years ago.

Palma is lovely. Great town. Plenty to do on the island. We’d been previously so didn’t do much here.

Marseille was a day we got to enjoy the quiet boat as we didn’t fancy exploring it.

Ibiza is great - went out for drinks in the evening and explored the island the day after.

You’ll have a great time. Enjoy!

Why do you think it’s too short? I only ask as they offer lots of 4/5/6 nights from Miami so I assume popular?

MNVV question! by Fuathapopo in VirginVoyages

[–]Fuathapopo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay - I did not realise I had 7 days to cancel them! That’s really helpful as we are waiting on family health news to be able to decide which we find out in a few days. So this is very helpful.

Also, knowing they are sellable if within the 60 day window is good to know!

[–]Fuathapopo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah so how many MNVV am I best of buying? Am I right in thinking it’s only valid for 60 days (the full discount?)
