My deal of the week

I could pretend I didn’t see this coming but the truth is, I always knew I was going to split opinion on the internet this week when I posted this video challenging our producer Joe on the mammoth sized extension lead he takes on all his travels 😆

Exhibit A:

I TOLD YOU IT WAS A WHOPPER!!!

Now I know people love this travel hack, and I get it if you need something that plugs in next to your bed or by a mirror but for Joe… Joe just needed his phone by his bed, and so I had a better suggestion for him…

Use a high quality travel adaptor with multiple ports, along with a longer USB-C cable for his phone in case a hotel room doesn’t have a plug by the bed. This is my exact setup and it lets me charge 6 things - including 1 thing with a proper pin plug - at once and thanks to a fast charging port, it can charge my laptop too without slowing everything down.

This saves on the space of an extension lead, plus means you don’t have to pack bulky plug heads, or an adaptor if you’re going abroad.

Exhibit B:

Now, it’s fair to say that this idea has been accepted by some but for many others, it’s gone down like a lead balloon. And look, I’m not one to be too proud to admit defeat and so I’m willing to say…

YOU’RE ALL WRONG.

YOU WILL NOT MAKE ME CHANGE MY MIND.

I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL.

😆 😆 😆

Anyway, the plug currently has 15% off down to £34 though it can go down to £30 in bigger sales if you want to wait for that (I often post on my Instagram when it goes this low!)

Jokes aside - DO WHAT WORKS FOR YOU - know lots of you travel with a suitcase as standard and pack big items like hairdryers etc. And in fact, I’d love for you to have your say on what you make of this whole debacle in the poll down below 👇

Look mum, I’m on the telly!

Rather than being on the TV this week, I’ve been doing some writing for other people!

Including my Deals of the Week which I select for TravelSupermarket every week as part of my work as one of their travel experts.

This updates once a week so if you click fast, you’ll find a 7 night holiday to Majorca for just £218!! However, if you come to this a bit later, you may see some of my top picks for next week which include a load of half board deals to sunnier climates ☀️

I do get paid to work with them (TA LOVES) but not to share here, but there’s always some cracking deals and so it feels a shame to not spread the love. You can always find a link to these in my link in bio over on my socials - or just save this email and use the link here!

What the team’s been loving this week!

When we’ve not been working really hard - ahem - here’s some of the things that we’ve been enjoying over on socials.

Anna: I followed Nessa immediately after she came up on my fyp on TikTok - I loved the mix of hilarity with actually useful travel tips 😂 Plus her pictures turned out stunning!

Katie: Chelsea isn’t the only one that’s really (seal-y?) into squishy seals. I can’t get over this adorable vid.

Chelsea: My phone has definitely worked out I’m going skiing next week and so has loaded my fyp with loads of ski videos! But this one of a woman doing some ski jumps made me cackle - it’s the uploader revealing that she managed to nail every single one doing it like this in the comments that made it for me 😆

And that’s a wrap!

That’s all for this week – thanks if you made it this far and why not let me know you did so by answering the poll below ⬇️
