    I generally buy jeans in M&S, usually need to get Long though I'm not that tall.

    Then I found GAP outlet and their jeans are a similar price and fit really well. Hatfield Galleria has a nice store for anyone near me.

    We have always found the galleria to be the most overpriced 'outlet centre' ever but perhaps it is an elite thing...only time we bought anything from the gap was when amex were doing a 25 account credit on 50 spend.

    Still well behind on rains, dropped in at closing time and same cs on double up till and she would certainly have remembered me as we had a long chat whilst waiting for them to get the consoles out of the stock room so just got dd1 to cash out another lot of voucher but we are still at 4 requested and 2 spent out of 8 batches, need to fit a lot in this weekend on top of the normal football, netball, drama club etc and a sweet Sunday movie.
    I think....

    I was going to but, seeing as the 1000 points ones I did in the week have not registered at all, I need to work out what went wrong first.

    I followed the helpful instructions but I think I messed up entering my nectar number - at the payment stage it said 'you could earn points on this ticket ' and I put my number in there. Was that the wrong place ? Neither LNER or virgin mentioned nectar on their confirmation emails.

    It can take 2-3 days (sometimes more) for the virgin/LNER base points to register.

    More Nectar points for travelling children possibly :D

    Wow, thanks for flagging this. I had missed it :eek:

    It's not showing on my nectar app but the URL on HUKD takes you to what looks like an offer that is open to all. :j

    https://www.gwr.com/destinations-and-events/email-subscribe-offer
    To collect 2,000 Nectar points, worth £10, simply select your chosen email marketing preferences and buy a ticket through the 'Welcome email' by 12:30 Thursday 29 November 2018. Terms and conditions apply.

    The best anyone on HUKD can find is Oxford - Paddington (£2.70 for a child). Can we do any better?

    Have you included a railcard in that?

    Amateurs :D. Oxford to Reading or Reading to Oxford, £1.50 for a child on GWR flagged trains. We need to discover if there are any shorter routes on GWR specific trains.

    Anything cheaper?

    Be careful before booking - these seem to say any route so may not qualify?

    I will wait for further views before booking :D.
