Today is a better day.I have managed to get a pay increase that will cover most of the money I will lose thanks to the Inland Revenue.
Many thanks for the sympathetic posts

BB I dont think I qualify for making porn films I'm certainly not hung like a horse,but then again its big enough to fill a pram. The outcome though is that the trip is on.Now all I have to do is find a flight that is less than £550 via BKK next March,any ideas anyone.
BTW all who posted re asylum seekers I do agree but its a fine line between standing up for what you believe in and being called a racist
