Hotels.com has supposedly refunded me
Can someone please advice me thanks... Hotels.com refunded me 2 amounts on 12 July 2017. The refund will take upto 15 working days. I have received 1 refund but not the other.

Belfast
I've just returned from a very brief trip to Belfast and have to say that it's a great destination. It's small enough to get around on foot and has a lot going for it. The worlds most popular tourist attraction is the Titanic Experience which does earn that title. There's a very good free walking tour Daily which lasts…
Longleat
Hi Does anyone know if the Tesco longleat vouchers without the card holder? My mum wants to buy us some as a gift for our holiday but unfortunately she now can't make it but wants us to go without her. If not does anyone know if there are any other deals we can access? Thanks
Hilton Corporate Rate Cashback
I've recently started a new job which involves working away from home and staying in hotels (currently the Hilton in Cardiff). I thought this would be a good opportunity to make an extra few pounds via cashback websites but I can't find any sites that allow me to get cashback while using our company's corporate rate for…

Private Pitch for a Static Caravan in Scotland?
This is a long shot - but someone may have the answer! I own a static caravan - it has been in my garden for a few years, but I am now moving house, and am looking for somewhere to move it to. It could be moved to the new house, but that is quite a distance away. The ideal solution would be to find somewhere fairly local…
National Trust Life Membership
Around a year ago I compared all conservation organisations I could find in an attempt to identify the least expensive method of obtaining life membership of the UK National Trust, either as individual or joint membership. Unsurprisingly, the best method seemed to be obtaining overseas life membership of Heritage New…
Hoburne holiday park - Naish Hants
Hi All! Looking at booking a holiday here. We wanted a solent lodge in the meadow area as it is open and the kids can run around outside. These are all gone the time we are looking at now.

Butlins Day pass
Thinking about booking a day pass to Butlins over summer - £64 for 2 adults, 2 kids - is it worth it? It'd be Bognor we went to.

Car Hire Excess Insurance

I recently rented a car and paid the premium to cover it, I need to hire one again for a longer time however the premium to reduce my excess to 0 has basically doubled. Has anyone bought car…
Right to refuse payment?
Just back from a terrible UK break in holiday cottage. Went with 2 of my friends for my birthday. We are all middle aged ladies who just wanted to chill out and get away from our stressy lives at home. So I booked this cottage directly with owner who said we could have it for £350 for 3 nights. Cottage looked nice online,…
National Trust Membership
I don't know if this has been mentioned previously but anyone taking out National Trust membership can get it cheaper by joining the Scottish National Trust which has a reciprocal agreement with the National Trust in England. It could also be a Moneysaving Moral Dilemma whether to do this or not :D
Daily Mail Holiday Passwords?
Hello all, Is there a thread for the Daily Mail holidays with the passwords please? I can find the Sun one but nothing for the DM? Many thanks

Tell me where to go!
Sadly, I have been signed off work for two weeks. I live with my parents and they have suggested that I 'get away for a few days'....and I agree......where should I go?

Any Edinburgh locals that can help?
I'm not sure this is really the right place to post this, but I thought that someone may be able to help. This is for an idea for a present for someone that is from Edinburgh. I need to know of iconic things/buildings/products/locations in Edinburgh. I can google search and get images like castles, but if there's anyone…
