Hey everyone,
Good day today, got OH a lynx set for £3.99 to go in his overlarge stocking!! And some clips to put up Lily's fringey bit (i got a pack of 15 for 99p)
I also went to connexions to get my certificate to claim JSA but found out from jobcentre people that i can't claim it but mum can claim extended child tax credit and family allowance and i found an apprenticeship online that i can do and start hopefully:j ...Will have to go back to connexions to get help arranging it. Okay so some of that was slightly off subject but its helping me being good at moneysaving for all occasions:D :rotfl:

All of the party food was half price today so I ordered it last night at full price to be delivered today. I used a 10 off 50 spend code.

Food cost = 50.00
50% off = 25.00
del cost 4.00
SUBTOTAL - 29
10 off 50 spend
TOTAL = 19

Done on two accounts. THANKS MR T.

I was going to post about it on here but it was only my local Tesco and no one lives by me LOL
