    some afternoons everything seems to be the wrong side of difficult....

    Just to be on the safe side I thought I'd better book a hotel room for March 2018.Firstly I look at our usual premier Inn and instead of the normal room rate I can often get of £39 - under £50 anyway - its £97 :mad: - its midweek in March, not Easter break and not half term so I've no idea why the rate is over double the normal ...

    Instead I look at Accor and of course the page wont open for me, it just hangs but its done this before, really vexing.
    So instead I log out and go via google chrome and then it opens.

    So booking on the Accor room rate that I can cancel and not pay upfront (its 10 months away and anything could happen) is an added £5 but that cant be helped - at least it is about £40 cheaper than premier inn.

    I put in all of my details. The page then rejects my credit card as the expiry date is January 2018 :( so I have to use the debit card.

    all done and printed off, I just now have to loiter on the hotels.com, Trivago, laterooms and premier inn websites now until the room rates are closer to what I really want to pay or a better cashback offer appears on Quidco or topcashback :)

    I am sure you realise this, but you would have been better splitting spray and shower Lynx into two shops - you have got 2 x £2 items as thefre0 item rather than £3 on the spray deal and
    £2 on shower.
