Called in at Lidl to get my denim dungarees......sorry I mean olive oil:D.:rotfl:

I couldn't resist 3 little pots of primulas at 50p a go. It's such a lovely day today and I'm tired of looking out on post winter pots....so I'm off out to wash a few pots and cheer up my outside table. Catch you later sniffers:)

Hello, I would like to hear some tips about travelling please.

I'm travelling to Japan around end of March with my OH and two kids and staying there for nearly 2 months. I'm considering using airport lounges since travelling with two young kids to Japan is trully gruelling! There's a transit at Seoul so I would like to grab some rest there.

I remember some of you got a Amex card quite a while back and it came with two lounge passes? I searched the thread but could not find all the info I needed so plucked up the courage to post here.:o

I see several kinds of Amex card I could go for... which one is recommended please?

I rarely fly (last time was 5 years ago!) so general tips for using airport/ travelling are welcome too. Thank you in advance.:)

Sorry HZA, I don't know the answer but I'm sure someone (or indeed many) who do will be along shortly.

I got the Gold card HZA and you get free lounge passes. You need to spend £2000 in the first 3 months and you then qualify for 20,000 points.

Thanks Di,
I am grating a bit of fresh ginger into my green teas.

I love ginger - in all its guises. In biscuits, cakes, marmalade, jam, sucking on a crystallised bit, oh and dark chocolate covered ginger

Me too I'd forgotten about crystalised ginger i had a jar full in the cupboard it didnt last long. Are they giving you ondansatron?

It is the amex gold card that you need, it is not a credit card as the full amount has to be paid off every month, but you get the 2 lounge passes for free and also get Avios points, and bonuses of these (the bonus is slightly higher if you get someone to refer you) x

Thanks Chris, that's what worries me, nothing showing at all

bumping this up, thank you OP.

I think we had issues searching for it because automatically we were looking for yahoo instead of yazoo

I am having no success with printing off. I tried yopmail and it just comes up with a strange message so I don't know what I am doing wrong.
An error occured (Status: 403)
Invalid URL.

So I went back to normal email and it recognized my main one, accepted my spare email, went through all of the processes and then told me I'd already printed off

you need to take the last 7 characters off the url xxx
