Travel Money Card

What a smart idea.  I am quite sold on the idea of getting a Post Office Travel money Card, which was launched in June 2006 by the British Post Office.  It makes sense to me to have a ‘holiday money card’.  It means that I won’t have to carry my other credit cards with me.  

I was pick-pocketed in Paris a few years ago and it was a nightmare trying to cancel all my credit cards from abroad.  This money card means I can transfer ONLY my holiday money into the card and if the card is lost or stolen I don’t have the hassle of having to sort out the rest of my cards.  The holiday money card has the same security as traveler’s cheques so it seems to be quite safe method of taking ‘cash’ with you.  

The best part for me is that I can control my holiday spending.  If I only have X amount of money in the travel card for my holiday and I have no other cards with me, temptation to dip into credit won’t be possible.  A daily budget will work brilliantly with this money card. The only cash I would take with me is the little I need for the trip itself.  If you don’t want to be searching for a bureau de change or a cash machine the minute you arrive then take a look at the advice on pinkfridge about currency exchange.

Travel Insurance

With the latest terror scare at Heathrow, it is wise to make sure you have adequate travel insurance.  One of the benefits of travel insurance is that if your flight is cancelled, the insurance will cover the costs – that is, if you have taken out the right travel insurance.    

 

Pinkfridge has a section on travel insurance.  This section will outline what you need to look out for when taking out Travel Insurance.    

 

British travelers are better off taking out annual travel insurance because they tend to do far more spontaneous traveling nowadays than ever before.  With all the low cost airlines and last minute deals, Brits have become accustomed to just hopping over to the continent and back again for a Weekend Break.  They are also becoming a little blasé about travel insurance.  I wonder how many people were caught off guard recently with the situation at Heathrow?      

 

Don’t get caught without travel insurance.  It’s a pain in the butt if you need it but don’t have it and it only takes a few minutes to organize either on the telephone or over the net.

Sex and cancer prevention

I have heard recently that having a very average sex life (once or twice a week) is more beneficial than those who have a more active (say 4 times a week) sex life, according to recent research.  Apparently people who have sex more frequently have lower immunity.  This is because very active sex lives is usually associated with less stable relationships and the stress that comes with it.  The stress is what causes the low immunity.

People who have moderate sex lives seem to be more secure in their relationships and therefore the immune-boosting protein lgA is stimulated which may help protect you from cancer.

So ladies, if you are not in a relationship at the moment, I suggest you get on the ‘dating‘ wagon now so that you can establish a solid long term relationship as soon as possible.  Pinkfridge has great advice for people from all walks of life.  Things like dating for seniors or dating for bigger ladies and dating for different cultures.  We also cover unconventional dating so you have no excuse to hide at home.

I find this stuff so interesting but you may not.  Let me know what you think?
