In a little over a week Em and I shall be winging our way back over to Blighty for a 3 week holiday. I've got in touch with most people to arrange a catch up and hope we can see most people whilst back.
Ash is sorting out a weekend in the Lakes (mainly because I've been a bit tardy with helping to sort stuff) so we should have a good couple of days on the hills if the weather plays ball.
It turns out that it is another friend's birthday party that weekend, so the trip may be cut short to accommodate that, but even if it is, we should be able to see a few more people at that!
I'm hoping that the seats we were given when I booked are as good as they say and we don't get unlucky and stay awake all night. This is because although the seats are rated highly on seatguru.com they are also 'bassinet' seat. This means that there are baby 'tables' attached to the bulkhead in front of the seats and could well house some small people who will be intent on keeping us awake for the 13 hours we are on that flight. I shall be packing my headphones so that hopefully I can hear the films over any crying. It makes me wish that noise cancelling headphones were cheaper than the $260 that I've seen them selling for over here.
Well in 8 days I'll be able to say if I should have spent the cash or if it was money well saved.
I found some pennies in gathering dust ... Not sure what 1.20 will buy these days

Thankfully standard headphones worked fine but I did get to try out some Bose quiet comfort 15 headphones in the dixons at Heathrow and I can say that if you have the money buy them. The performance is staggering. I turned on the Noise Cancelling function and it removed all background noise completely! It was so good that when I took them off the noise that reappeared was a bit of a shock.
