    You won't make a fortune on these.2 for £1.88.Don't forget the cost of fillers.

    You will have to do a lot of shops and I doubt if anyone at the car boot would pay more than a £1 each.

    So could be good as fillers for a glitch that pays say £7 apg then this will up the apg to £9:cool:

    I'm after some advice. :)
    I think it was Ladyshopper that posted about the HE hotels and airport lounges. :) Have been browsing as need to travel next week and found a Holiday Inn on the HE for £154, comparing to booking it direct at £92. However HE have said that it doesn't match as I had booked 4 days parking, obviously I didn't as only staying one night! :/ So cancelled that booking and have tried again, looking at lots of different websites.
    One of the conditions of HE is that the price must not be discounted, and most comparison websites show a reduced rate. :( any ideas or tips welcome :) otherwise I will be just leaving home very, very early to travel there and back in one day!
    TIA
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Asset2004, can I ask is it easy to cancel the booking with HE, do you get all your money back? Thanks :)
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    An elderly Chinese man had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he carried across his neck.
    One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
    For a full two years this went on daily, with the man bringing home only one and a half pots of water.
    Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After 2 years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the man one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
    The old man smiled, "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?" "That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them." "For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house."
    Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them.
    So, to all of my crackpot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!

    Snap my mum was supplied with a table tray on wheels similar to those in hospital, please check your dad is not entitled to something similar before you spend anything. It is the occupational therapist you need to talk to. x
