  7.5km down, and I’m dressed as the Macmillan fairy, although TBH I think I look more like the b@stard lovechild of a ballerina and Elphaba from Wicked…

  • Cat says:

    Oh, it’s my second Mighty Hike BTW, around Ullswater!

      Good luck and well done. Put us all to shame on a lazy Sat morning!

      • Lyn says:

        13 Jul13 July 11:22

        Well done Cat! Hope you are having good enough weather to enjoy the lovely surroundings.

        • Cat says:

          13 Jul13 July 19:17

          Amazingly the weather was lovely! A major improvement on the Brighton to Eastbourne gales!
          Polly, you’re back to being you, not P!

      • Cat says:

        13 Jul13 July 19:13

        If you saw the state of me right now, that shame would disappear pretty quickly.
        Ooh I’m sore!
        Amazingly the enormous green fake eyelashes stayed on, and the tutu only sustained minor thorn-damage!

      Good stuff Cat, we went strawbery picking … I guess my alarm bells should be ringing!

      • Cat says:

        13 Jul13 July 19:18

        There’s nothing wrong with exploring your bit of the world, rather than far flung places BJ! Especially if you get to eat fresh strawberries to boot!

        • BJ says:

          13 Jul13 July 20:05

          But strawberry picking lol, it felt as embarassing as it sounds but there has to be a first for everything! Well done, hope you feel ok tomorrow.

        • Cat says:

          13 Jul13 July 20:52

          I hope so too – I certainly don’t right now! My feet look like they were in Chernobyl.

      Cat, how do we donate at just giving to your cause?

  OT: Upgraded Green to Platinum since the most recent changes. Spent the £4,000 and no sign yet of the bonus MR points. Anyone else had a problem with these triggering?

  • Keith says:

    13 Jul13 July 09:35

    How many days have passed since you passed the £4K mark?

    • Crafty says:

      15 Jul15 July 23:25

      About 5 days.

  Just added up our vouchers incl this quarter and we have approx £900 worth of CC vouchers. Just transferred £45 from hubby’s account which were due to expire at the end of August anyway. He has had 2 Shell transfers this year but did not receive any email. I haven’t used my or my daughters Shell account since July 2016 so technically still inside the 3 yr period – no emails for us either. Will see what happens in a month.

• Ian says:

  I did not receive an email from the British Airways Executive Club but am opted in. Is the 40% bonus promotion shown somewhere?

  • Rob says:

    13 Jul13 July 11:15

    No. All you can do is test a £2.50 transfer and see if you get the bonus.

  In at a very full club aspire at t3!

  They must like our smiles. Nothing wrong with a 11 am peroni and single malt chaser when you started up the motorway at 10 am

  Hertz one £ came up trumps

  Got me a sexy blackcorsa with 7000 miles on the clock

  • Shoestring says:

    13 Jul13 July 11:10

    *5am start lol

    • Shoestring says:

      13 Jul13 July 11:20

      I had to bribe my wife to drive us to Bristol airport to pick up the £1 car

      She asked how much I was saving

      I said £155

      She said right that’s £155 more clothes for me and little squirt then

      She did also have to get up at 4.30 so I said granted, wench

      • Liz says:

        13 Jul13 July 11:29

        Sounds like a good deal to me! Enjoy your place in the sun!

        • Shoestring says:

          13 Jul13 July 11:34

          My theory is that there is a finite amount of clothes she and squirt would wish to buy anyway, so £155 is just prepayment

          Any flaws in that logic?

        • Lyn says:

          13 Jul13 July 11:43

          Yes, there are definite flaws in that logic.

        • Sussex bantam says:

          13 Jul13 July 12:16

          I would say he logic is the flaw…

        • Shoestring says:

          13 Jul13 July 12:18

          Food is 100% pasta

          God job my intake is largely liquid

        • Lady London says:

          13 Jul13 July 12:50

          Why are you in Aspire Harry?
          Surely in T5 you’d be in PP, and in T3, in No.1?

          I was in Luton a couple of days ago, and it looks like Clubrooms is blowing Aspire into the weeds… the usual Aspire boring never-changing cold pasta starch salads probably having a bit to do with it! The Aspire was only moderately busy. Clubrooms was full with a buzzy happy atmosphere and about 14 people queuing to get in. This was around 12.00 noon on a Thursday.

        • BJ says:

          13 Jul13 July 16:02

          What logic? Mrs S drive’s a hard bargain, would have thought the house to herself was all the incentive she needed.

        • Shoestring says:

          14 Jul14 July 06:03

          @LL – no PP card at the mo = no No1 T3

          £20 each to get into Club Aspire on Lounge Club made sense

• The Original Nick says:

  13 Jul13 July 11:57

  Fair play to Harry..

  Guildford – Heathrow coach: always good to see new public transport options for getting to the airport. If the fares look relatively high, they’re about half the fare (over £20 single, I think) for the quicker journey from Reading. Only a pity that we have no vision in this country to really push construction of rail connections to our airports, rather than the endless use of diesel-powered coaches. The bus/coach area on the arrivals area at LHR Terminal 5 must be one of the most sordid places in the country – if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know where a worse place is so that I can avoid ever going there!

  • Lady London says:

    13 Jul13 July 12:41

    Well… more sordid is the one at T2. That’s a really long-established grime- smoke- and dust-fest.

  • bsuije says:

    13 Jul13 July 17:45

    Bank station at rush hour, when the Northern line is suspended. Hands-down winner of “Most sordid place to be” in my book!

  • Callum says:

    13 Jul13 July 21:22

    “In this country”? A pretty large proportion of airports I use outside the UK don’t have rail connections at all…

  O/T Amex Plat fee charged following upgrade from green (waited till after green fee was charged). Oh well loop hole didn’t work for me. Shan’t be keeping it.

  • BJ says:

    13 Jul13 July 15:59

    We had already established that by the critical date, unfortunately than in itself was insufficient to stop some of us, including me, digging the hole still deeper and getting caught out by the new £4k upgrade spend requirement.

    • Polly says:

      I know. Very annoying that..was planning to refer daughter, but not now.
