Hi, last year we took just over a grand and spent £840 for the two of us B %26amp; B in a fortnight. This included loads and I mean loads of shopping, taxis to and from town day and night, lunch, dinner and enough alcohol to sink a battle ship and a couple of trips.

when you say %26#39;loads of shopping%26#39;, don%26#39;t you mean a suitcase full of sandals? LOL

On our last visit (Feb 08) for 3 weeks, we didn%26#39;t do any trips but we ate out every lunch %26amp; dinner and I bought: Olay Anti wrinkle cream x 3, designer high heel sandals , Himalaya foot cream x 9, Mulberry handbag, Prada handbag, opal %26amp; diamond ring, diamond ring, Pashmina x 6.

We took £1600 %26amp; brought £600 back.

Prettypollycat - well a gal can%26#39;t have too many shoes now can she?! I didn%26#39;t even mention the four %26#39;designer%26#39; handbags and five watches before either :)

do you ever buy sandals from Bombay Bazaar in Panjim?

I have small feet (UK 2, 35 EU) and their size 5 seems to fit me OK.

I%26#39;ve bought some really lovely diamonte ones from there, although last time I was a bit more restrained than usual. Only one pair? I can%26#39;t believe it!

We%26#39;re really missing our visits to Candolim this season.

Dear PrettyPollyCat I am going to Panji thic coming Monday to see a dentist. Is the BombayBazaar easy to find, or will I be easier to use a taxi my dentist is quite central? Cheers.

Bombay Bazaar is (I think) on 18th June Road, which is one of the biggest.

It%26#39;s a large shop that you%26#39;d find hard to miss.

Shoes are upstairs.

They have some costume jewellery downstairs that I usually look at too.

The shop assistants can be a bit hassling.

Years ago in there, I had 3 assistants all bringing me sandals to try on.

I%26#39;d chosen one pair, then found another pair I liked so they were taking the first pair away until I said %26#39;No! I want those too!';.

I think the concept that people would buy more than one pair was quite strange for them but they%26#39;re probably used to it now (especially if Meerkat%26#39;s been in. LOL).

so you and yer man like ah small refreshment meerkat next year we will have ah battle of britain competition and i think the couple from the north will win handsdown so bottoms up cheers jon n eileen
