So there i am doing a bit on my new gazebo roof while the sun is shining. Missus arrives home and waves through the window, then i see she is on the phone. Next minute she comes out into the garden to ask me if i can go to Lanzarote.
Friends of our were going to a James Villa in Lanza' for a fortnight along with two other couples. Thing is both of the other couples have had to pull out last minute (one with a sudden heart problem the other with a sudden grandchild)
So they are claiming on their insurance leaving just our friends in a 4 bedroom villa.
Half hour later and we've got return flights and carpaking booked for under £300. Jobs a gud'n.
Thing is
