Hi all,

I got home today to £8 Lucheon vouchers, the item that im testing, and rimmel foundation that i won from rimmel comp.

I popped straight out to Asda to buy 2 birthday cards costing £1.50 but used the LV's so didnt cost anything.;)

I was hoping to go to a firework display tonight seeing its bonfire night, but there all on on saturday??!! I couldnt find any on tonight which is strange.

Hi peeps,

I got a great deal for my mum today on broadband. Before i said we was going to get 02 now there in our area for £10.99 a month (as i cancelling my 02 mobile contract in feb) And i was thinking about getting a laptop to do free courses on as it would be wireless. I phoned up Orange to get the MAC mode and they offered us a great deal to keep us free for the next 6 months then £9.50 after! And there going to throw in a free wireless box too so we can finally go wireless! We have been paying £18.99 a month! Mum is very happy now as she didnt want to change from Orange.

I received a massive £2 in clubcard vouchers today! :rotfl: Better than nothing though!

Morning,

Im off the Cambridge today, Oh wants to go xmas shopping. I dont know why he choose there though, we've never been there before. I hope theres lots of shops there. Then we're off to the fireworks display tonight just down the road from me. So could be an expensive day today!

I received my £10 Debenhams voucher yesterday. And also used up £15 of my amazon vouchers and brought dad his christmas present. Thats 2 people down tones more to go!

Right i really must go jump in the bath and get ready.

Good luck with the xmas shopping - at least if you do it/start it now, you won't have to face the horrendous crowds come December!

Well bit of a wasted journey all the way to Cambridge, the traffic jams there were awful!!!! Ive never seen a town so full of cyclists and sooo many students either!
It took about an hour to get through the city centre traffic. Then we finally found a car park that cost £3.20 for 2 hours! We went into a shopping centre there but it was tiny and not many shops at all. I dont think we were in the right part of town! So instead we're going shopping 2moz in town!

But i did buy a pack of xmas cards from poundland £1, and a small pressie for mum £5.99.

Car park £3.20!
Present £6
Cards £1
Burger king! £5

Total spend: £15.20

Bless OH he only wanted to go there to make a change from always going to town or Lakeside.

And in the end we decided not to go to the fireworks coz that would have cost another £12. So watched Hot Fuzz on DVD instead.:rolleyes:

Mariagti, I have quickly read your thread and am impressed!
Giving the nappies etc as presents is an excellent idea. MY DS got so much stuff when he was born, mainly clothes, it will be nice for them to get a useable practical present. I am currently saving up nappies too for a friend who is due at christmas, its her first and I know they will appreciate the nappies.

YB- The rain didnt reach here until about 9.30pm last night so just missed the displays as they all started at 8pm. Sorry, the rain ruined your fireworks though Hope it didnt cost you too much.

Jen- Lol, how cool you live by that town! Is it really that quite there?!

Thank you painted lady.

I get any freebies going as there's always someone that finds them useful if i dont want them! I know a few pople who are pregnant at the mo so baby freebies do come in very handy!
