I'm glad you got it sorted planehopper, isn't it always the way when you arrange things for other people :?

I've only done DIY once, first time this year and it all went amazingly well, I've booked a holiday for next year DIY but I've booked direct with the hotel. When I e-mailed the booking over to them with my credit card details I quoted the wrong price so they did my booking wrong which was completely my fault so I ended up phoning the hotel to sort it out, they were brilliant and within a couple of hours I had a new e-mail sent to me with the correct accommodation booked.

I did dial the wrong number when I tried to ring the first time and got this poor Spanish lady who said she didn't speak any English, on telling me this I then rambled on in English trying to explain that I needed to ammend a booking, I was met with an awkward silence at the end of the phone, she must have thought I was mad :lol:

I hope your family enjoy their hols :D

It wasn't me that time shell! Goodness knows why we do it. :? I think we start off quite sensibly, but then when we feel things starting to go wrong, desperation sets in and all signs of intelligence flies out of the window. The one consolation is that you gave the Spanish lady something to talk about (thank goodness you can't hear what she's saying!) and I went to bed with a stupid grin on my face.
I like you anyway! :P Jenny
