Why not just close the duvet cover?

Still gaps where things can squeeze in like socks etc 😁

Maybe one for the holiday peeves but flight prices from Edinburgh.

Looking at flights to Rome in October and we can fly from either Edinburgh or East Midlands (my father in law is going with us and that's his nearest airport). 2 adults and 2 kids from Edinburgh on the Family Plus fare from Ryanair is £1396. Same fare from East Midlands with slightly better flight times (for me anyway) is £598. I get it's a slightly longer journey and higher demand in Edinburgh but 57% cheaper from a relatively nearby UK airport?

It was the same when booking our summer holiday. We saved over £850 flying from Newcastle rather than Edinburgh. Even factoring in a tank of fuel for the car, parking and a 1 night hotel stay we are still almost £600 better off for the pretty minimal inconvenience of a 2 hour drive.

It's across the board. I was booking a couple of flights for work recently and because I wasn't paying I didn't give a toss about the cost but Edinburgh to Dublin was £80 more than Heathrow to Dublin and Edinburgh to Nice £125 more than Luton to Nice.

We used to always fly from Manchester Birmingham and Liverpool for family holidays 2 kids and saved a fortune by doing so. Usually early July prior to English school hols.

Edinburgh flights have increased prices quite dramatically in the last two years in particular.

After Covid there was a huge backlog of people wanting holidays and so airlines ramped up their prices. Ryanair admitted that last summer

they had increased their fares too much but this year demand has increased again and so have all airlines' fares from Edinburgh.

As for domestic fares : it's a joke. Fly to Orkneys or Shetland ? Ha ha tough. £400 return if you're lucky.

Cancelling automatic payments on PayPal

Why do they make it so difficult or even set it up without permission?

Funny you should say that, took me about 10 minutes to work out how to do it earlier this week, nothing intuitive about it at all which is clearly what they are after

Plenty of YouTubers giving advice but everybody’s set up seems to be different?

Got there eventually

Just getting ready for the usual double annual payment to hibs.net 😀

Know it's been covered before but ticket prices for shows. Or more to the point booking fees. Bad enough getting hit with £160 for two adults and two kids to go see Paw Patrol Live but to then add in £30 booking fees is an absolute P take. Service fee £21.60. Venuse fee £6.80 and handling fee £2. £190 to go watch 75 minutes of Paw Patrol on stage......

Handling fees annoy me the most. Handling ****in what? It’s an e-ticket most of the time these days. Ridiculous.
