    I notice some (not all) kids accounts have appeared in my H4lifax online account - no indication of which account belongs to which child though! I received further statements recently stating Anon trustee for Anon :huh:.

    Their systems are useless!

    A few months back the lloyds ones suddenly appeared on my DWs online banking but the Halifax ones have not appeared for either of us (they always seem confused as to whether she or I are the trusteee for them anyway).

    £3.75 for one scoop or £4.25 for 2 scoops in L3g0land :eek:.

    75p for a Freddo or Fudge.

    No kids eat for £1 offers any more :( so £14.95 for adults and £9.95 for kids in the pizza restaurant.

    At least Richard (censored!) Turpin wore a mask ... rather than red dungarees and a yellow t-shirt :D.

    We made sarnies for Thorpe Park and nipped out and ate them in the car to avoid having to carry them round (and also dropped off a couple of the NowTv sticks while we were at it) - there was a Gs nearby too but we had already used up all the vouchers and I suspect would have had to pay for the car park twice....

    We also still seem to have one of the unlimited refill cups from a previous visit so that and a water bottle each and we were sorted for drinks....
    I think....

    When did you sign up. Sometimes they send the voucher the next day.
    The Samuel stuff seems to have gone up in price compared to the other day. I wanted to get a 0 but now they £15. Im sure they were £10 the other day. Got an initial and a 5 for my sisters 50th. Of course will get her other stuff but thought they would be good keepsakes.

    The sale ended on Monday, I managed to bag myself a chamilia safety chain, reduced from £50.00, ended up paying £26.00 for it, with the extra sale that was on Monday. A birthday treat to myself.

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    It is not all bad and we had an excellent time - annual passes paid for with T CC last summer so two summer holidays for multi days on one set of passes :D. The pizza restaurant also has unlimited Mr Whippy ice cream so leaving it mid afternoon and you get pizza, pasta, salad and ice cream. The annual pass gives you a 20% discount in restaurants and 10% in the shop. Refill fizzy drink cups last all day (... all season if you are able to visit - more than covered the cost of these ;) and the refill slush also works out okay in the end.

    Oh, and we got "a few" N0wTeeVee sticks and passes to offset some of the costs :D.

    As has been advised in the past, sometimes you have to take a hit on some of these holiday activities which we cover with the savings from our Elite exploits all year round :A.

    90 minutes


    Did anyone try the Hotel C Ice-cream - we rated it distinctly average and the chocolate 'flake' tasted of cardboard :( Would have been very unhappy had we paid for it!


    Slightly longer than 90 minutes but I can confirm that the Maltesers big pouches and galaxy more2share bars both worked £2 vs £1.50 AvT - however my shop was a fail, my phone battery ran out so no price check possible and they had no walkers ready salted 6 packs so I guessed that the baked ready salted were also a quid in Mr Ts - :(
    I think....
