The entry hallway is clear and I have an email from the recycling facility advising that $ have been transferred to our account! (Well, HIS account but I'll snaffle that very quickly for the cruise account! 😂). Obviously when I gave him the infamous LOOK, he wilted. I have two bachelor BILs contributing to my Granddaughters account via recycling, so far in 6 months she has $200 plus, the only catch is I am doing the recycling by picking them up from their place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the new one I tried at Rutherford, for these ones you just empty the whole bin/bag into the hopper and it feeds them into the machine automatically. So quick. We have similar and it pays cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, several I would think. Debarked today, home for 5 days and apparently we now have a cat. Also my son, and his family. They moved in while we were away while they sell their house and we have been relegated to the guest bedroom for our brief visit. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddvgww Posted September 5 #211 Share Posted September 5 This topic brings me so much joy! Hubby and I just came home from a cruise on Tuesday, We sail again 21st - 28th November on RCI and after catching up with this topic again it inspired me to book a Princess cruise sailing 3rd December. Yes, only 5 days gap between cruises. We have already booked 4 cruises for next year and will have done 6 this year. Maybe I should stop reading this topic as it keeps reminding me of how much we really love cruising and definitely encourages me to be a cruiseaholic! LOL 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, one cruise next Feb wasn't enough, so we have gone with 3 ships from 3 different lines with only one day on land between the 1st two. Funny how these things evolve. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been married for 52 years. This cruise will be our 50th cruise as we started cruising in 2009. We wanted to make it extra special so we are celebrating by shouting our family a free cruise so we can all be together to celebrate this milestone. None of them have cruised before so I'm hoping they enjoy the experience as much as we do. There will be 10 of us, Davy and I, our 2 sons and daughter-in-laws, and 4 grandchildren, 3 grandsons, 12, 11 and 7 years old and our 8 year old granddaughter. I am so excited and happy about this. Only 11 weeks to go! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have readily jumped on Diamond Princess for a couple of days later this month and boxing day on Crown Princess. Alas, Barb burnt all of her leave for surgery earlier in the year and needs to save up leave for our big trip next year. Once upon a time I would have done them solo, but it just isn't the same.

We're in the same boat (no pun intended) in that Darren only has limited leave available. I could go solo, I guess, but it's not really my thing. Also cruises are really our only chance to spend quality time together as he is a shift worker and it is sometimes a rare occasion when we are actually awake at the same time. Secret to a happy marriage maybe?🤔 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really not in the mood to do those chores after he leaves anywhere between 10pm and midnight. And first thing in the morning I'm not really awake/motivated. Ah, first world problems.😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
