    My son has a friend at Dental School, he says that the patients coming to see him for the free treatment they offer often admit to not having cleaned their teeth for weeks.

    I know dentists are obscenely overpaid...but I'm not sure it would be enough for me to be willing to do what they have to. Spending ones days in a fine mist of the detritus from inside other people's mouths - no thank you
    I think....

    I messed up. It's the last day for the free Amstel on my cs. I got a Stella Artois by mistake. Well they both begin with an A. And it's written as that on receipt. Which means they won't pay out and the offer will expire before I go back to tesco. Can you tell my head ain't right.

    Hello Amazing Elite
    Have any of your been to Marrakech? I'm going in August and trying to work out the best thing to do about getting their currency.
    It's a closed currency so you can only get it once there - do I take cash and exchange it, and if so where?
    Or do I pay money onto my Halifax Clarity Card and then withdraw cash from an ATM?
    Thanks for any advice anyone can give.

    Hi Lima-India,


    I've never been to Marrakech but I have had my Halifax Clarity card for a year now and I love it! I don't know if you can put money onto it before you go, as most credit cards won't let you do that. It only charges a very small amount of interest for ATM withdrawels, but if you wanted to avoid this you could just pay off your credit card balance daily via online banking if you have access to that whilst you're away. It depends on how much you're planning on withdrawing, it only ever really costs me pennies on a holiday. Of course, there are no interest charges for paying for things on the card so you could just do that as much as possible.
