Sí así es, es exactamente lo que quise saber.

- Are you talking about "ciclos anidados"? As "un ciclo if anidado"

Sí creo que lo es, gracias

- Ahorros, but also: "hacerse un nidito"

Ahorros I guess would be 'savings'
Hacerse un nidito, me gusta mucho!!! Me gustan tanto los diminutivos por que se utiliza bastante en holandés también!

¡Gracias anda-con-perra!

Do you want anything before I go? I'm flying away in five minutes.

Hmmmm maybe 'I have to get going /must get going /should get going in 5 min',
or: ' I'm off/ I'll be off in 5 min' (although this is also said when ending a workingday/ leaving the office.

Or if you wish to emphasize you are in a hurry: 'I've got to run in 5 min'.

I think (but this would be better to comment on by the British natives) in the UK people also say '(Ay,) that's me' .. Don't ask about the logic.
