    Tweets still no LA delivery as they have deliveries on a Weds to the store which is where I am picking it up from..I refused to pay £5 delivery ,but Lala was delighted when she knew what I had ordered her even though she has to wait for it;)

    I hope Lala had a lovely birthday yesterday Nanny, I am sorry I missed sending her my best wishes. :o

    Glad she likes her present even though it hasn't arrived yet. I thought that was a lovely idea what you did yesterday because it was not here. :T

    WIRS if you are reading would appreciate your thoughts on this document from Alpha Travel Insurance.

    http://www.alphatravelinsurance.co.uk/247-emergency-assistance/

    I think it looks ok, I seem to gather they tell you where to go?

    And I think this line has put my mind to rest a little...

    "If you need medical treatment abroad, (unless it's an extreme emergency,) you should call EAF prior to going to hospital so that they can advise you on the best place to seek treatment. You can contact an ambulance around the world by calling 112."

    Wish she had got DOB right originally there was nothing in that policy but they advised her to cancel and rebuy but as same company did not come up cheaper she went elsewhere. :o

    Cheapish fizz. :beer:

    I have had this one in a mixed case I have bought before and it is ok, not the best sparkling and seems mixed reviews but may be good for price @ £4 bottle. :cool:

    Evening all

    Just checked and I've got evouchers! But think I have a problem I've got a £50 one, how do I spend this without raising suspicion ?

    If anyone has been thinking about the nectar summer rewards promotion stop thinking and go and DO IT NOW :D

    officially it finishes on August 11th but its a bit ambiguous - I think it might actually finish tonight at midnight but rather than take any chances I've done my rewards now - 6 vouchers for Pizza Express - one a week to use in the next 6 weeks as you can use them up until the end of September :j

    so the nectar accounts are at a new low but if sainsburys mycoupons keep giving me 200 or 300 each week the totals will go back up again eventually.

    I've not done the cinema one as we don't have a Vue anywhere near but we have been having nice Pizza Express lunches in all sorts of places - 1000 gives you a voucher for 2 mains (pizza, pasta meal or salads, plenty of choice so you never have to eat the same thing twice) 1000 = £5 of nectar points

    I don't think you really should have too much to worry about. It seems like they understand you may not always be admitted to the state hospital. Make her carry a copy of her certificate with the telephone numbers. Don't worry as the greedy private hospitals will make damned sure that she is covered by insurance.

    However I've just read this :- http://www.moneysupermarket.com/community/forums/t/travel-insurance-greivance-advice-needed-48375.aspx

    & this http://www.staysure.co.uk/news/2014-08-06/travel-insurance-myths-explained

    Moving you from a private facility (if you have not been admitted to a state registered hospital) where the standard of treatment might be inadequate or the price of treatment inflated for tourists.

    Always remember that your travel insurance does not cover the cost of private medical treatment unless it has been approved by Emergency Assistance Facilities.

    If you are worried I'm pretty sure she can cancel the policy and get a better one within 7 or 14 days. It would probably only be around £10 extra or so for a better one. There are FAR more private hospitals than State ones in USA. I think it's just budget policies that exclude private hospitals?
