Damn. Not got the £20k min household income for that.

Next stop a new job :rotfl:

I have a lloyds avios duo which comes with an Amex.
Used it on shop small and four square successfully in the past but it has a hefty 0% bt on it at the mo so haven't checked to see if it works with the current offers

Morning all - fed up of not being able to get towels dried outside

The presents are wrapped - very panicked now as the Christmas piles do not look very significant. Even the Christmas stockings look a bit lack lustre but at least you can pad those out with chocolate

Youngest son has gone home, due home for Christmas at the weekend and I think he expects significant improvements in the cleanliness of the house and vast improvements on the Christmas prep.

At the weekend while he home, He took over the downstairs bathroom cleaning as I was not doing it properly and I also had complaints about the dust on the cabinets in the kitchen, marks on the fridge door and I wasn't washing up properly. He is a very hard task master.
(Yes his own home is immaculate, shared house, no evidence that 4 blokes live there!)

I've now started on the bed changing which is going to be fun as I can't dry anything outside :mad:

Thanks it's probably this I'll go for based on the fact theres no minimum household income & no monthly or annual charge. Now to find a good points introductory offer

I dry my bedding outside so long as it is dry, does not take much of a breeze to get something with such a high surface area to volume ratio dry Got some dry only a few days ago.

Cashback credit cards - I've got a Nationwide one and I try to use it for everything, even small buys - paid off in full every month.

The 2 big things I've not used it for paying the builder and paying the final balance on the holiday, otherwise everything.

The cashback ammount is taken off your December bill so I had £61 cashback this year :j

I also buy gift cards from Ohs workplace scheme and these save me between 5% and 7.5% so I've saved another £60 on these - got to do another order so a bit more yet - only been doing thus for half a year.

So roughly £120 - if I do a mid week break using offers, discounts, groupon, livingsocial etc I budget between £150 and £200 for accomadation , food, activities, petrol etc - so that £120 is most of a midweek break

I think its just because of where we live - it rains virtually everyday and most nights, always under a cloud

In answer to myself
Argos
Boots
M&S
iTunes
Nandos
Pizza Express
New Look
Next
Debenhams
House of Fraser

I also seem to think that they do Pizza Hut which is useful if you do the buffet menu.
Please can I ask has anyone used their nectar points in Argos to buy gift cards?
I know Sainsburys sell gift cards anyway but not ones like marks and Pizza Hut
