Cheap day out tomorrow in Edinburgh courtesy of this site!

Options
Tomorrow me and my dd are going up town for a cheap day out in Edinburgh courtesy of all the stuff I have gleaned from this site!

First we are going in my dds car as she has recently passed her test - not moneysaving you think? but no! - she is disabled and I found out from here that as she was under 25 she was entitled to free lessons and also they paid for her theory and actual test - she had nearly 30 lessons and passed her test first time!

We are parking in Ocean Terminal (free!) and using her Disabled & concession bus pass for free bus into town (again, found out about that through this site!)

We are going to visit 2 National Trust properties (got our membership from a post on here, went through Quidco and got £20 cashback)

We are going to Burger King for lunch (courtesy of the 2for1 vouchers as seen on this site)

And going to finish up going to the pictures (again, 2for1 for a disabled cinema pass - again from info from this site!)

How cool is that!

    Freebie Manor was the name on the Plaque my mum gave me for first home which was equiped with freebie banded cups, teapot, coffee pot oh and a sofa which cost a bottle of Vodka. My motto's are don't ask dont get, and don't buy if they say no.
  • Hi please post the link for the 2for1 cinema pass I can't find it. Probably just me being a bit blind but your help would be appreciated.

    Many thanks Oh and me thinks you may have got a bit Wet in todays rain
    cheers

    Suppose you had to park somewhere, but not a great journey from the bottom of Leith into town really..
