morher in law taken to hospital and kept in yesterday.Not sure when or possibly 'if' she will be coming out.

We are supposed to be going to Jersey on Friday.

Flights paid for.
Parking paid for at Gatwick.
Hotels paid for, both in St Helier and the night before at Gatwick.
Cattery booked and will need to be paid for.

If we don't go and anyone fancies taking advantage of our misfortune give me a shout.

Hilton Gatwick booked overnight Friday 21st, flight early Saturday morning.
Return flight from memory arrives Gatwick around 9.30pm Thursday.

Everything is transferable.

Throw me a PM Andy with the details / £.
I’ll have an answer later in the day but don’t hold it (if that makes sense).
Good luck with the MIL....

You would find it tough fighting off the women, signing autographs, posing for selfies, etc.

Sounds great, but it is wearing.

That's a shame. I was going to start a bet on how long it would take for you to get kicked in the nuts from commencement of impersonating Beaker.

I have tried everyone I can think of and can't get a taker!!

In summary;
  • Hilton Gatwick booked overnight 21/22 June
  • Avoca Villa Guest House in St Helier double room booked with breakfast 22/6 check out 27/6
  • Flights from Gatwick are around £75 per person return (cheaper than changing the names on ours which is 4x£50)
Obviously an earlier flight back could be booked if required.

Give me a shout if interested.

Accommodation cost around £567, I am expecting and happy (!) to take a hit on this.

I was thinking the same thing, the only down point might be if she is suffering from an on going illness which she had prior to the trip being booked
