Important deadlines to remember – a new fortnightly feature

One of the requests that came up during my request for suggestions over New Year was the idea of a calendar on the site which would show the closing dates for the offers I discuss.

This was a good idea since closing dates are currently spread across various pages.

I didn’t want to do a calendar on the desktop and tablet site, however, as it would mean that email, RSS and mobile readers would miss out.  As a trial, I will be running this article every other Saturday – lets see how it goes.  The plan is NOT to repeat what I have already written on each deal but to provide links back to my original articles.

There are probably a few deals missing from this list which I wrote about last year and have forgotten about.  It will become more comprehensive going forward as I will ensure I add every new promotion I discuss.
