Apparently I have nearly 53000 "Avios" - which come with an irritating Amex card from Lloyds - Are they worth anything? what can I do with them ?:o

Have a look at the Avios site. You can use them for flights (B.A), holidays and hotels. 53,000 is a fair amount and should get you a holiday somewhere for 2016 if you have a careful punt around. Just be aware that you usually have to book quite a way ahead, but if you want you can get flights into/out of different airports.


We used mine last year to fly to Morocco. Then we got the ferry to Spain, did a bit of travelling about and flew back from Malaga. At least B.A are decent to fly with - good luggage allowance and free food and drinks

Bought my "christmas gift to me" in the form of a bunch of lovely fancy teas from Whittard (and a glass teapot from Amazon). Had a 10% off voucher though, and also 10% cashback from TCB so at some point in the next... several months... I'll get £8 in my TCB account :money:

Now I just have to find somewhere to put all my tea because my cupboard is already overflowing :rotfl: (I drink all of them though. I just really, really, really like tea)

Sold £14 ish (After exes) today and some random woman wants a price for me to post a Toaster to Bristol ! :eek: - Which I reckon all in is likely to cost about £20 - which is why I put "No postage - collection only" on this one - she buy a brand new one cheaper than I can post it ! - Plus they're no the most robust items to get chucked about in the sorting offices etc.

A small parcel can be sent via the Post Office for £2.80 second class. A small parcel is actually bigger than you might think and a toaster would fit into that category I imagine...

Max length: 45cm
Max width: 35cm
Max depth: 16cm
Max weight: 2kg

A kindred spirit, lexbubbles:T. I'm a real tea-addict myself.

Love the idea of a glass teapot:T. I've got loads of Amazon vouchers stacked up from various surveys and might just treat myself;)

This is the one I got

It's £30 but is very nice looking and has a filter/strainer built into the spout so perfect for loose-leaf tea.

I've also had to buy a cheap lil 3 tier trolley from Argos to hold my tea. My cupboard can take no more. I think once this order arrives I'll have over 50 varieties of tea. And I drink all of them! :eek: (actually on my 4th different kind today as we speak)

Twining's just recently brought out a 'nutty chocolate assam' which is incredibly tasty - it's like drinking praline! Bit pricey at £3.49 for 12 bags but worth it for an indulgent treat

I've completed three ForestPeople surveys so far today. And received and spent a $10 voucher off some shopping that had a minimum spend of $10.01

Love the teapot Lex


I love tea but am a traditionalist and only drink English Breakfast (preferably Twins if I can find on offer) with milk or the occasional mint tea with star anise if it's a hot day

Evening all :hello:


Had a busy day today.


Had hair shortened, posted chrissy parcels and most of cards. Still about ten to write and post and then just the local ones, that I hand deliver, to do.


Heads Up !!!


For anyone that has a Nationw*de account it's worth checking if you're eligible for the Rewards system.


ATM they are offering a £25 cash-back on £100 spend at the Amazing place, paid within five days. Trying to confirm if it's the 17th or the 31st cut-off (says both dates at different places) but certainly worth a look eh


They are also doing a regular savings account (12 months) maximum £500 pm at 5% interest.


Hope you all have a super Thursday

A good morning!
A payment for £333.88 landed in the bank this morning, a tax adjustment I had expected but not THAT much. Straight into the savings it goes before I'm tempted to use it for Christmas (I really don't need anything else for Christmas other than stocking fillers and have budget left for that!).

Feeling rather shiny this morning!

Have managed to get myself so behind with everything at the minute so have been spending the last few days trying to catch up with myself.

I managed to get some more CD's sent off and should have my monies back in the next day or so (around £17.00) and I've finally got around to bagging up and paying in some loose change we've had around the house since forever which amounted to £72 :j

My listings aren't doing too well on Gumtree so considering listing them on eBay (although gutted I missed out on the discounted listing fees).

Haven't managed to get very far with surveys etc but hoping to get back on it very soon so I can reach my target.:T
