 Been looking at doing a river cruise from Moscow to St Petersburg, think it would be a good one to do in July when its OH's birthday. Russian visa's would be required of course, believe they can take a couple of months to come, so its all pointless just now until OH has had his Op frown

Finding trying to organise this years trips a tad frustrating.

The report button is there to alert the Community Manager to potential problems and everyone is free to use it. Some might feel that a particular discussion is being crowded out by some "over posting" continuingly on the same subject. I think you have to give Rowena credit for being able to distinguish between what might be seen as those with an agenda and those that genuinely feel a thread has gone off course. As a result of those reports all that Rowena has done is to remind people how they should conduct themselves on this forum and the consideration they should show to others. Everyone needs to look in the mirror to see if they are conducting themselves in the spirit of that reminder,don't you think?

I had not realised that we were limited on posts on a particular topic in a general thread such as this David

Sounds a good idea for a trip. I hope your hubby is soon sorted Tammy

It must be frustrating TG, especially if things like visas have to organised well in advance. We are just slowly coming out of a year of not being able to plan anything early, or commit to any bookings because of health issues and appointments. On the plus side, obviously not overseas, but we did make the most of short trips to some very interesting new places not too far away in between operations, treatment and bouts of illness, and it kept us happy, still functioning. Depends if you can do this of course, but hope things pick up for you, and you can still get out there, even if at short notice and not too far!smile

It is already a lot better thank you! Cooker chosen, just need to sort out delivery date. Looking good for taking Mum away for a short break as well, so an all girls shopping/zoo trip is in the offing in a couple of months time! 

All that worrying about cooker proved pointless!laughing

The problem, David, is that over the years many threads were closed because of excessive reporting by some who did not like the topic of discussion and wanted it closed. This frustrated others who found the topic of discussion interesting. Not everybody finds it interesting to discuss mundane matters such as their washing and ironing!
