    For the locals there is an Auction at Hardwick Hall Sedgefield on Sunday

    I am just saying as it has Whisky and Champagne on it's list

    And I know we have a few Whisky and Champagne drinkers
    Do you have a link for this please Perky, just to see if it is one of these scam auctions, or something decent. tia

    500 nectar points when you book an East coast virgin train. Haymarket to Waverley is potentially East or West coast so make sure you book the right one

    Edit: 500 points available on West coast routes too :money:

    [strike]Edit2: can anyone see where it states the validity period?[/strike]

    Edit3: if you click "get started" and log into nectar it shows the offer validity period is jan26-feb15

    They can get lost! I booked a journey for over £100 a day after the 1000 points vanished, and the offer was only 250, so now I have bought my tickets, they put it up to 500. Nope, they are just out to wind me up. :mad:

    Go on, laugh at my misfortune. And to add insult, I had to pay £92 for a new tyre today, the one I was replacing was almost new. Was it a nail that caused it to break? No, it was a bladdy broken valve that costs about £2, grrr!!!
