We don't have Nationwide, but do have a Tesco CC and Clubcard so collect the Tesco vouchers, good for eating out, we never get enough for Eurotunnel. OH has a 1% cashback TSB Platinum CC.
Then the M&S card gives their own vouchers too, and the Partnership Card(John Lewis) has similar.
BOS don't do rewards, but we use them for a 2 year 0% deal for large purchases.
Quite a few offers out there if you look.

Maybe Barclaycard do different types of card. So maybe mine is the wrong type for rewards. I use barclaycard Platinum which gives me 0 per cent interest for extended periods of time. I've never yet been charged any interest on barclaycard ever since I first got it.

We mainly use a joint cash back card from Asda. I have a Barclays CC for my personal use and it has a points system - I prefer cash back but it is more important to me that I can easily differentiate my cards and the cash back is used to provide Amazon vouchers to add tomy Amazon account and which always get used.

Horrid day here today - it is pouring with rain
. Hope it picks up by the weekend as we are off on our first trip out with the caravan this year.Enjoy Cornwall moulesy. I am very envious.
Everyone seems very busy either having just returned from trips, planning their next or both. The season has definitely begun.
.Interesting about your cows Goldie. Do they stay there or do they come back to you after the cheese making?

Oh no - we are selling them. Our income comes from milk of course, but also selling cows. If we kept them all we "would need a bigger boat"

And I don't suppose to get a lot of income from milk these days Goldie.

Dull day again today, where did all that lovely sun go
More work done in the front garden in prep for the new path going down, the Landscape guy did eventually phone last night apologising for not getting back to us sooner but he was try to take advantage of the good weather and catch up with his jobs. Guess I will have to be more patient (not one of my traits)
Also managed to clean the oven while OH finished off in the garden, he has taken off the front gate and has started preparing it for a refurb. The gate is metal and has started to go rusty in places so he is blow torching all the paint off, then he will paint it up and put new fasteners on it, should look good once finished.
Time now to go out and do some shopping, food as usual but also a visit to B&Q to see what lawnmowers and strimmers they have as both of mine are needing replaced.

Had to take the bus to collect my M/H ,the bus went down country lanes and through small villages with no problem so why are members so concerned about taking their M/H's in to the countryside ???

sitting in the conservatory with the sun out and just about to book 5days in the new Forrest in may

Never been to New Forest husky, but would like to at some point. Long way for us. Have you been watching the Yorkshire wild life programme on TV? Some lovely scenery, and I think you had a trip up here planned didnt you?
We lost our local B&Q last year TG, closed down, so nearest is a good few miles away. I miss it for gardening stuff, but I tried The Range yesterday, and got most of what I needed. Not power tools though, only smaller stuff.

Only place we have found an issue with MH is Cornwall and parts of Devon. Cornish and Devon hedges have granite walls in them, and need serious respect. Some of lanes we use have been tight with Jeep, let alone MH. We did manage to find a good route up onto Dartmoor with MH, but both side windows were down and it was a squeeze! We were coming back up via Tavistock, and didnt want to go via A30 and Okehampton. That is possibly a better route onto moors!

It will have changed a bit then! Lots more visitors. If you are not too far away, i recommend a visit to Skipton. Easy parking, lovely town, gorgeous castle, nice shops. Plenty of nice food shops as well, selling local produce.

Tonight, by way of error, we are going to see Jesus Christ Super Star, which I have never seen. OH told me to book it because it was "really good." So harbouring doubts I booked it. Then OH remembered it wasn't JCSS but Joseph that he saw and he'd seen it with me, my Dad and a visiting Canadian cousin many moons ago. So there you have it, booking in haste with associated memory loss is not a good idea.
Please someone tell me that it might be ok?!

We've spent most of the afternoon on site as there were only two deliveries to do so far today. It has been raining on and off so the ground is a bit soggy.
We took the Shogun for a run this morning along Long Furlong and down the A24 to the roundabout turning right on to the A27 to get back to Titnore Lane. It started all right, even though it was 8 days ago when we last used it. Hopefully, it will stop the battery going flat.
We finish work at 7 p.m. this evening, so only two more hours to go. Our evening meal is cooking in the slow cooker.
Our Smart Car is due to be ready tomorrow but I think they might not deliver it back to us until day after tomorrow. Then we'll have to take the rented car back to Enterprise car rental.

I've just booked a summer holiday - well a two night break.
Fifty years ago this September twelve young girls met up at Edge Hill College (Ormskirk). We're still in touch and meet up as often as we can (though as farmers we can't always make it).
So when it was suggested we go to Southport in July (where we lived in a house share for a year) we couldn't turn it down. It vaguely crossed my mind to stay at the CC site, but "sensibly" we have booked into the same hotel as the others. More than a bit more expensive - but who cares?
Twelve of us plus eight husbands.
Now all I have to do is cross my fingers that we won't be silaging. Perhaps I should hope for rain.

I saw it back in the 1970's when I was at school! We went to theatre as a school group every month, and I recall seeing not only JCSS, but also Joseph and Godspell! However, other than one or two songs, and some of the (at the time dishy actors) I can't remember very much about any of them!
Sure it will be ok brue!
It was banned by BBC at the time, so that is a point in it's favour!

I'm sure it will be a nice break for you, Goldie and usually plenty to talk about in a reunion like that.

It's not going to be "nice" - it's going to be riotous!
We're all too old to behave nicely.
Here's a photo from a previous do.

Brue saw JCSS years ago in Edinburgh Playhouse, really good show, think it depends on the cast, as we've seen it again since and didn't think it was as good the songs didn't have the same power to them as the first time did, I also have it on DVD which is a good production.
I'm sure you will enjoy it, I've not seen Joseph
