Afternoon everyone

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend, well I've been typing away at the Qype Reviews nearly done though. :j

Been to Mr Tesco's this afternoon and managed to pick a few bargins up for pressies that can now be knocked of my pressie list. Got 2 kiddies Scrapbook kits for £2.50 each down from £10, Batman shaped Bubble baths at £1.25 each down from £5, Makeup sets at £1 each down from £8, some little girly flower soaps for 24p down from £2, and lots of other nick nacks that will go for filling out pressies. Really chuffed as I have managed to cross another few Birthdays off and a few Xmas Pressies.

Anyway better get on with these reviews and finish that off before the Rudolph club tomorrow.

Catch you later

Sarah

our car insurance is due for renewal so think we will have a look through quidco this time. i agree though it is expensive and prices differ so much you really have to shop around (but worth it if you save money!)

Fingers crossed this link will work

They're so cool

Bunbun - Doesn't look like i will be getting a car let alone insurance!!! Me and my dad were going to 'share' a car but, well i won't bore you all or drag you all down with my broken family, but anyway it would take a miracle for it to happen. It's not that i'm upset about the car, i've repeatedly said that we don't have to buy a car yet, families eh?? who would have them?
Hope everyone else is okay?
