HI everyone - Mr and Mrs is on the telly and Morton Harket from A-ha is on it!:eek:
1) SC x 10p
2) Did weekly shop at Lidl instead of Tesco
3) Shopped around for home insurance that needs renewing and have found it over £400 cheaper !:j:j
4) Had to buy new school shoes for B and found some nice ones in TK Maxx.
5) Avoided mowing the lawn, thus saving electricity.
6) Had a payday treat - £2 earrings.
7) Had a picnic in the park for cheap fun.
Not much else. We have free cinema tickets for tomorrow morning, but as the cinema is right by the beach I don't think there'll be much chance of getting a parking space!
Enjoy your evening,
