Hi Pammy returning the visit! How are you doing on Lula's crazy clothes challenge? I join every year but the boden sale always gets me and I end up bust!

I havent done too bad for the clothes challenge as I dont count the kids in it, just me and I buy a lot from charity shops :A, I dont think I have bought a full priced piece of clothing for years!

They have a new 50m pool which is ace and the town centre now has a McDonalds AND a Burger King. That's how posh we are now :rotfl:

wow, I might move! err on second thoughts, my ex has just moved there, better stay here!

After reading the tesco thread about finding lost voucher codes I decided to dig out my vouchers and see what I had. I cannot believe it I have £624 in deals :eek: wowwee. I thought I had about £30 lol, thought I had spent most of it Some of the vouchers I didnt have but being able to check online is a great addition to it. So i best get something ordered while they are still on 4x deal otherwise it will go down about £150. Have been looking at cosmos for a week away somewhere. Was going to spend about £400 on a caravan here anyway so putting it towards a week abroad in the sunshine will be great woohoo.
I did look at butlins but its just as cheap to go majorca lol

Wow! That's some amount.

You do seem to find money quite easily. That's amazing. I had £30 I bought some champers with it for Christmas. I cant believe I had it as I'm normally so careful with the vouchers. Well done!

I used to be a tesco biatch and have had three free hols with them and was tesco points mad at one stage going in twice a day every day to get the points glitches they used to have, ahh those were the days

Can you believe how many people have unused vouchers though on the site - seems funny that we all lost them. I cant even say that mine are from my "careless about money" days either as some are from last year!

And I agree go abroad - that's your holiday booked for next year now!

Just caught up on the thread We have £524 in cc vouchers - so just over £2k at 4x at the mo - but can't find anything I want to spend them on (except Florida, and that's too expensive anyway )

Iris_Blue

I'm amazed at that too Greent !

You could go on holiday with Pam!

Are they not doing the doubling up promotion in the store any more?

pammyj74

Using in store used to be a swear word on the tesco thread lol, tut tut.
I have just been looking at part resorts and maybe going to Devon for a week last week of August next year. I usually go away out of school time but if I go in the hols that will save me childcare or using extra holiday at work
I am so undecided.
Guaranteed sunshine, all inclusive but the hassle of travel, have to pay at least an extra £500
or chance of sunshine and guaranteed english, lovely beach, travel at my own pace but still have to cook and pay for food and fun things to do if the weather is carp. hmm decision
