    My Mum's friend always collects receipts out of the trolleys and gets the points - why not! :D

    :rotfl:good on you....I can just imagine you all sneaky popping up to the till!!! :rotfl:

    Holiday sounds fab! x

    Without sounding odd, I was thinking about you last night as not seen you online for a bit! Was going to ask how all the wedding plans were going :D

    Well Becs, the way I saw it was if they can't be bothered signing up for a club card then why shouldn't I have them? Wasn't like I was stealing :rotfl:

    Got a bit of a saga going on at the moment. Payplan sent out new offers to all my creditors when I upped my payment last week, Egg have refused the offer because they still have the accounts in my married name and payplan sent the offer in my maiden name which I use now....how ridiculous! So had to spend ages on phone to Payplan and Egg and Egg now want copies of my divorce cert....which I cannot blinking find! I am so good with docs like this, I keep them all in a file and I can find everything bar my absolute :mad:. I have no idea why it wouldn't be there so will have to have a hunt for it later!

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    How annoying! I thought you were allowed to use whatever name you like anyway, so long as you're not attempting to defarud anyone. How ridiculous anyway - you're not asking them for money you're trying to give them more! Hope you find it soon x

    I have literally just found it!!! :rotfl:

    There was an envelope in my trays with some AAT certificates so I thought I would open it up and there were my divorce docs, I must have had to bring them in for copying at some point, phew!

    What if I send you the hotel web site links rather than ones to TA, will that work?

    OK I give up!

    Just spoken to my travel agent and she can't beat the price, that was problem number 1, problem number 2 is that when I go through to the booking screen and check the flight details the times are AWFUL. The transfer from the hotel to Mombasa airport is 2 hours by coach, then we have an hour flight to Nairobi but then we have to wait at the airport there for 5 hours before we even start the 8 hour flight home :eek:. I know that delays occur when you don't fly direct but that's far too much, it ends up being a 16 hour journey home :(. We would also have to try and get back from Heathrow in rush hour which is a no go.

    Our only other option is to do 1 or 2 weeks with Thomson as it is a direct flight but if we do one week the cost works out the same if we did a 2 night safari so would have to cut it down to one night but two weeks will end up costing £300 each more.

    I want to cry.................
