    Good evening from Sedlescombe. :D

    At this point I was going to do a pic of a nice bottle of organic wine we brought back from vineyard to hotel. But I didn't get to drink it Mr TS smashed it while removing the cork. :( thankfully while in the bathroom so the sink caught most of contents and glass. Not good to see £15 worth wine going down plug hole. :eek:

    Of course his 2 bottles of £25 red are still intact, his birthday treat. :o

    Can thoroughly recommend deal if it ever comes up again. Vineyard self tour so nice romantic walk among the vines, luxury ploughmans or afternoon tea with glass of wine each. Wine tasting not measures to be sniffed at, I just sipped as driving but Mr TS finished mine. ;). And you get a complimentary bottle of wine to take home. :beer: Although that was one that smashed. :eek:

    And then included in price is overnight stay in hotel including breakfast. Think I paid about £110 when there was a living social code floating around. Bought it June but now is good time to come and see the vines full of grapes. :T

    Glad that you've enjoyed yourself. Hopefully still enjoying yourself with Mr TS. ;)

    I think im going to have a new job-- London taxi driver!!!
    2 weeks ago driving through central London to Piccadilly, Covent garden and Trafalgar square. Following day Lancaster gate and Fenchurch, and canary wharf.
    This week Rotherhithe to Chelsea, then on to Putney popped over to Battersea then back to Bermondsey and Canada water.
    ..but if I were a proper taxi driver I wouldn't have got stuck in a traffic jam at the elephant and castle:p, gone up a one way street the wrong way near Buckingham Palace:p and gone in the bus lane over Putney bridge:p!!!
    :eek:

    I am now back home in quiet Norfolk:):):) , where the biggest traffic jam is waiting about 1 minute to get onto the main road after leaving A, and where bus lanes are non existent:rotfl:

    Never heard of it - is it any good and worth joining? A cards have been withdrawn from HSV (run out anyway) and the top-upable A card has been withdrawn from L2S (before I could get mine). You also can no longer buy A cards on A website while they review this (which I suspect means they are changing supplier?).

    Crazynotto seems to be a way of buying giftcards for stores at a discount - an employee benefit scheme provided by certain employers for their employees and you can bet mine doesn't subscribe :(. Although they show pictures of A cards on their website, do they still offer this as it has been withdrawn from EveryDay Benefits (Love2) and A no longer offer cards through other providers.

    Many thanks

    You might be able to find an employer code in the referrals board ;)

    They also have stopped the Asda cards, it appears to be a choice of asda to stop them everywhere.
