From bitter experience during my years in the marital shackles, I always used to find it far less stressful to just fight the inevitable tide for as long as possible to minimise the damage, then buy the extra luggage weight. But the new bird, being perfect in every way, always discusses with me what luggage allowance is included and asks what I’d like her to pack/what I think she’ll need. And she sticks to it.

Nope since I started travelling and realised i might have to carry a bag down a fucking long jetty ( think Hythe pier without the train) I went minamalist and trained the wife and kids to do the same by telling them if you cant carry it you cant take it.
The system works gentlemen.

We’ve been packing for the last 3 weeks for our 2 week cruise down to The Canaries and back. The downside to this is as there are no flights involved so although 23kg suitcases are the weight limit for each we can take as many 23kg bags as we like. 
On top of that we are boarding at 12 noon today and the game KO is 3pm.

Fam C_S mantra is that if it doesn’t fit in the cabin luggage then it doesn’t get taken on holiday.
Also make sure you have airport lounge access and pay for fast track security clearance.
@PhilippineSaint hasnt flown Ryanair much.
23kg allowance each. 
Millionaires only.
We are 1 small bag 40x25x20cm and an airport shopping bag.
We then paid twice tge flight cost to take 1 x 20kg bag

I could say I have never flown Ryan Air and dont intend to. Unless they have free beer and wine and food ( alright included in the price) I can check in go to a lounge and not hand over cash or card for food or drink is the only airlines I will be flying.

Fucking Hell - it’s the Christmas edition
But it doesn’t give off a pine fresh smell - oh no. What is does mean is that you can stack the bog rolls like a Christmas Tree
Just WTAF
All 3 of my chickens have stopped laying, and they are all moulting as well.
Can’t really complain, because these 3 have kept us in eggs for the years of lockdown and after, when eggs have been at a premium.

Going into the office on a Friday afternoon. In the City. Ffs
Yes OK its mainly because of a festive meal event, funded by work. And it’s at the NED, for those that know.
But. It’s still November. It’s a Friday. And who said I like my colleagues
