no email for me, what was it?


...........AND I just got an email for 5000 points when I spend £40

Checked Loccar, and im not with BG. I keep getting offers sent from them but its due to my house insurance, but the code isnt on there.

Have you got a BG account?

Has anyone been to Bletchley park and the national museum of computing? I'm thinking of buying tickets and a cheap hotel as DH's 'main' present, as he always said he likes having things to do and having weekends away.

I've no idea how long to plan to spend, or if there are any nice hotels nearby that I should look at. It'll be almost a 2 hour drive so I'm also wondering if there is anything else in the area worth visiting on the same weekend.

A mate of mine went there and raved about it...he's a bit geeky for that sort of thing tho !

I would enjoy exploring the purpose built town, I bet it is really interesting.

Yes, but when I sign in, it takes me to an Axa insurance site.

We have been jus tto Bletchley and as previous poster said the tickets are valid for a year so we think we will go back & do the computing museum. my DS2 who is quite geeky liked it - we spent about 2 1/2 hours there - didn't know there was a big A's:D
MIL said Bletcley had been "done up" since she was last there - not sure if she ment recently or in the war:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Which journeys do i send the kids on? Expires tonight,tia

I just had a look and my east coast offer says it needs to be a 50% discounted Advanced Single ticket. This isn't an option between Edinburgh/Haymarket (at least as far as I can tell) so I'm not going to book

If anyone has an East Coast deal that doesn't require you buy a 50% off ticket then buy a child's ticket from Waverley to Haymarket at 10:28

For West Coast journeys you want a child from Waverley to Haymarket at 10:51

Never been but i do know with the tickets you can use them again and again within the yr
Silverstone not far if he is into motor racing?
BIGGGGGGGGGGGG asda there:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ah that's interesting, thanks. He's not massively into motor racing but I think he's interested enough that he'd find Silverstone an interesting place to visit. Can you do tours?

Love the Asda idea though, that would make it a present for me as well as a present for him :rotfl:

Are the tickets valid for both then? I got the impression the computing museum was an extra cost but it seemed a bit confusing on their websites.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:at your MIL's comment!
