Mind you as a gooner and having watched the game against Liverpool yesterday I am filled with neither joy or confidence for anywhere near a top 2 slot. Oh well, it gets me out the house!

My bet with Simon for the Semi’s is, I’m afraid a cert. If we do get there the site (& simon!) will never let me forget it I’m sure.

Having returned recently from Malta, having had a great time (and maybe a couple of beers!) all went to plan re flights etc with just the 1  delay where our plane had sucked in some birds on the way over! However, its easy to forget the potential pitfalls that can occur when things dont go to plan. I had purchased Holiday Insurance and this was also in the midst of the Ash cloud, which upon checking with my Insurers this occurance would have been covered regards delays etc.

There has been much press attention to this matter with many stranded for long priods of time etc. Although many passengers were angered by the lack of recompense given I still believe buying this type of insurance does give peace of mind to allow us to enjoy the time away. The ash cloud was an anomoly/unusual occurance and generally claims are met by insurers.
