Hi gillian, i'm still having problems getting my flights, i will keep trying and let you no when they are sorted, have you decided which hotel your going to book? x

Hi tanya, i have just checked my email from bridget and it is, www. europesurgery.co.uk. try again and fingers crossed you will get through 2 it, i know you said your partner is trying to put you off and he is right 3000 is a lot of money but money well spent, you have to do what is right for you, this will change your life and i'm sure he will benefit from it aswell as you x

Hi tanya, i would say go for it, i had also been looking into it for a long time, once i booked it i have felt for the 1st time in a long time 'happy on the inside'. I'm sure other members who have been banded or booked to go will understand, let me no if you decide to go for it, good luck x
