I found my flights using the Amex free flights, how hard is it to cancel an Amex/Virgin flight for 12 December returning 13 December.

Normal VA rules apply. Just ring Amex to make changes. They are pretty good to deal with.

Silver for me and MrsK. We have a family wedding on 11 Dec, and might need to escape

Sorry - the wedding has been put off until next March, so we can't make it for the night. Have fun everyone.

Looking good.

I just realised that I still have accommodation booked for that weekend in Melbourne. No flights, but three nights accom! Am still hoping we can make that trip, as if we can't, Jan won't work for my Brother and SIL and their baby-to-be.

It would be lovely to see you, it has been ages.

Yes there is.

@blackcat20 and I have had a discussion and have decided that there will not be a Kris Kringle this year. It is not worth the risk handing out and swapping gifts in the manner that we have done in the past.

So if you have already bought something, hang onto it until next year, or give some cheer to a neighbour or friend.

aawww ... I was considering giftwrapping boxes of disinfectant wipes ...
