    Morning all :)

    Mhoc, we use our T cc vouchers for our RAC membership. Might be worth looking at?

    We do that too, slightly concerned not going to earn enough for next year though :eek:

    I think it's bad enough that you have to do an unbelievably difficult dive.....but then......wait for it......you have to do it exactly at the same time as someone else:o

    My daughter watched that and said "well at least that's an event I could actually do" my response was "You've never dived off a board in your life" her response "I didn't say I'd be any good." :D

    Oh how to be 15 again! :rotfl:

    Morning Flo nice to see you posting, hope you had a lovely time away and enjoyed your anniversary. 1 year more than us . xxx

    The years have absolutely flown by, really penny pinching at the moment and could only afford a couple of nights away but still a lovely break.

    morning all

    interesting discussion re mr !!!!!! CC. I checked my accounts yesterday and I do a copy and paste of the numbers and dates into a word document for safe keeping - it does not copy very well - must be a better way of doing this.

    so that was the last significant quarter now we can no longer convert our TCB money. my points now will mostly be from getting the odd item for cashback, the occasional livingsocial deal and the even more occasional womble. I still send in ink cartridges but now we don't print so many MOcs again this is just a once or twice a year job.

    I've got enough for my next target, it's just a question of doing the conversion and when.
    That leaves about £80 which I really want to spend up - much happier when there is nothing left.
    this is going to take some research - I don't need resturant vouchers at the mo or magazine subs. Maybe one of the days out vouchers.
    it's not quite enough for a hotel stay ..

    might be worth checking, we had a couple of nights at a best western for £60 of vouchers last month.
    When I find a womble I always triple it in my head e.g. a 30 pointer is 90p towards a holiday :o

    Dip, hope your test is going well, keeping everything crossed.

    Nanny, sending you a hug. :A

    Have had to cancel Aqua yet again as day 11 of bleeding since starting on the pill the gynae consultant put me on. Not very impressed. :(

    Morning!



    If you use a train, you can always use them for that.



    OH is a rail industry worker so we have travel passes :j

    National trust would be been useful but its not on the list only NT Scotland for days out :(

    was it easy to book your Best Western with Mr T vouchers?

    How far in advance did you book?

    This sounds like a good way to use up the remaining vouchers

    a quick question please to the banking experts.

    Please can I ask the names of the two Mr !!!!!! savings accounts you need to open - are they

    internet saver account
    instant access savings account

    do you need to send any proof of id or address in the post?

    thank you in advance - I've got the page open but I thought I'd better check before I did the next step :D

    NT Scotland is usable in all the English NT places too. Including the car parks.
