    Hey nice avatar Living the Dream, the offer has been extended till the 29th May due to the fact their 'puters kept breaking down. It is playing up at the moment but keep trying if you travel along that route.:)

    Hey nice avatar Living the Dream

    DD loves Shaun the sheep and Spongebob Squarepants, I've seen a few Spongebob avatars on here and other forums, so it had to be Shaun.

    Great news, hopefully anybody who thought they had missed out will now get some cheap train tickets.

    I did manage to get one ticket for £1 return from Hampshire to London Victoria so I am pretty chuffed with that.

    Groan! Was that a deliberate pun... or do you just have a one track mind? :rotfl:

    Have been up all night ill. Managed to book another two tonight. I had to use different card numbers even though it was all still on the same login. I think that because i have tried so many times to get bookings and each time the bank has safety checked them (but didn't authorise payment maybe because the site kept crashing) and they became suspicious.

    Anyhooo, am delighted to say that another two have been booked.

    Fantastic offer return journeys booked:

    5 to London total cost £5.30 (saving of approx £144)
    1 to Brighton total cost £10.90 (saving of approx £4)

    THANK YOU MSE:money::money::money::j

    First time I have ever been moneysavvy like this and I am sooo pleased. Yay.

    Good luck everyone.

    Hope your feeling better savingwannabe....

    Managed to get another trip booked this morning, return from London to Eastbourne, £1.35!
    That's 5 trips booked now so got a new few weekends this summer to look forward to.
    At least the fish fingers are still frozen, that's what I keep telling myself (Truly Madly Deeply)


  • I'm so annoyed, I've been trying for hours and about half an hour ago I finally managed to book a trip but the site crashed before I finished my payment and hasn't come back since :(

    It might be worth trying just before midnight when the offer ends as most people should be asleep? Good luck. It is worth it but really frustrating. The best offers are for those living in London so good luck.
