o/t- where should I go on holiday.
okay, this is majorly off topic, and I will also post it in the travel forum, but since you are all stylissh and well travelled I thought I would ask here too.
I am supposed to be going on holiday next week, however, due to having to find a summer job and being a bit uncertain whether they would definitely honour it, it is not booked yet and at this short notice everything is much more expensive. Therefore we can no longer really afford our week in Rome.
Therefore any recs for other great European cities for two young twenty-somethings to spend a week on a budget of 600 pounds for flights and accommodation would be great.
The other option is to go somewhere like Rome or Paris, and stay in a nicer hotel for less time, maybe just two or three nights.
Any suggestions welcome.

Re: o/t- where should I go on holiday.
Have you thought about Barcelona? The cost of living is fairly cheap compared to the UK and there's lots to see during the day, shops, beaches, nice bars, nice restaurants...
You can get cheap(er) flights with one of the budget airlines (though at last minute they can be almost as much as regular airlines :rolleyes: )

Answer:
we went there before for la merce and really enjoyed it, ideally would go somewhere new but have no idea.
the advantage of going there again is that we would know where to go and what to avoid.
Answer:
Prague is cheap and beautiful - although slightly ruined by drunked stag/hen nights that flock there for the cheap beer.
Vienna is an amazing city - one of my favourites - very romantic too and great nightlife.
I agree with Barcelona - for that beach city combo
Eastern European cities where the likes of easyjet fly to might be nice cheap too. Slovenia, Croatia Budapest, Bratislava are all really nice to.
Answer:
Is Rome totally out of the question? Me and my OH went late June and it only cost about £400 each for flights, accomodation and everything else while we were there!
We only paid about 10E for accomodation each p/n but you could afford to stay somewhere nicer and closer to the city (we stayed in a cabin on a campsite which suited us fine, but might not be what you're after).
Otherwise, have you checked out last minute deals for elsewhere?

Cheap but good sports bras?

Cheap but good sports bras?
Anyone know where I can get cheapish but good sports bras that are possibly sold in a two pack?
Answer:
Don't skimp on a sports bra, saggy boobies are not a good look and jiggling does half hurt :( I highly recommend lessbounce.com for a great choice of sports bras for all sizes and sports.
Answer:
Already got saggy boobies :).Thanx for the tip but I am not internet shopping savvy
Answer:
What pansymouse said. Enell bras from lessbounce are probably the best money can buy.
Answer:
Lessbounce produce a catalogue. If you'd like to get it without any further internet interference, you could phone, fax or write to them. :)

I've not tried the Enell bra myself, though many have recommended it. I find a ShockAbsorber Level 4 (the top level) works for me.
The LessBounce website is helpful, because it has a good guide to working out which bra will suit you best - interms of cup size and exercise impact level.

Silver elle flip flops - B'ham New street
Just to let anyone know who wants them inthe Birmingham area....
There's loads of just silver ones in the WH Smith in New street (millies cookies side)
Answer:
Doh! I was at New Street twice last weekend.
Never mind, I do already have some black flip flops with a silver strap. I've had them for a few years though and the silveryness isn't what it used to be.
Saw some great silver flip flops in New Look, but £14 for flip flops...
Can't decide whether to keep these

Can't decide whether to keep these
I was in TK Maxx last night and found a pair of black calvin klein drainpipes. They fit like a dream and I love them but the thing that is putting me off is that they don't have proper back pockets and usually as a rule I won't buy jeans/trousers unless they have back pockets. I just have this image that they look a bit scuzzy, I don't have a big bum but it always reminds me of people that have 'sexy babe' written across their backside! Help me decide.
PS. excuse my ugg slippers, didn't realise they were in shot, lol!
Answer:
Keep them! Finding drainpipes to fit properly is a nightmare. I just got some gorgeous ones from TS and they don't have proper pockets either. I doubt very much that you will find any which have proper ones AND are flattering as they tend to make your bum look much bigger and stickier outtier. Seriously, keep them! xx
Answer:
Keep them!
They're great, just think of all the different outfits you can make up with them!
Answer:
You see, I knew you girls would be able to help me out :) . I think I might wear them today and then I won't be able to take them back!
Answer:
do it! i really like them, i wish i could wear drainpipes :(
what are you going to wear them with?
