This doesn't mean that you have to accept it though.. I have worked at a costumer service for years, and if there's one thing I learned it's that complaining helps. Companies hate bad publicity and will often try to make a compromise with you. You might not get your suitcase fully repaid, but I think you'll be able to settle it in some way that you get more out of it. As for the back problems, can't you take a stroller? If you lose 60 Euros on the deal, this means that your suitcase costed you 600 Euros right? This seams awfully expensive. Even if you get only 540 back, just buy a 100-200 Euro one, they are fine and won't cause you back probems if you have a stroller. I will give you a link to some more information about selecting a good suitcase, I don't know if you want it, but it's just a suggestion :) Good luck with Easyjet!

Working 5 days a week shoveling snow, raking leaves, cutting lawns, kid-sitting, dog walking, or anything like that, just $15 a day average. Sorry, but I'm not aware of a website that you're looking for. Have your parents help you open up a savings account, though, and put your money in there. It will help you draw interest, and also help keep you from spending it whimsically. $15 / day, 5 days a week. That's all you need.

I used to volunteer at the Animal Anti Cruelty League and I also did on and off stuff for Avril Elizabeth homes, the World Primate Sanctuary, Acres of Love etc I was also an honorary ranger for San Parks and a police reservist (B) and in high school I was a first aid respondent with St John’s. Some of my friends volunteered at the zoo, the fire station and other children’s homes. There are many ways you can help without paying (sometimes you have to pay for courses but it is a nominal amount and you get certificates to boost up your CV anyway). If you are looking for something to do for just a month I would suggest calling your local animal shelter or if you are in Gauteng and want to work specifically with primates then call the World Primate Sanctuary (if you want the number e-mail me). Habitat for Humanity also sounds like a great option. Good luck You shouldn't need to pay to volunteer there are many local organisations in need of volunteers.

Travel agents charge more. I just got back from South Padre Island. That part of Texas is sub-tropical. Go to Suncountry.com. They fly out of Minneapolis to a lot of different warm locations. Also, I would look on Southwest Airlines website, Travelocity and Expedia. There are a lot of last minute deals from these sites. Good Luck! Always do it yourself. Travel agents charge more.
