    A late dinner will be better than spending money on dinner so still all good.

    I hate not being able to sleep, have gone from not sleeping the last week to having wierd dreams. I really need to chill out lol.

    Never had enough in tesco vouchers to exchange them yet sorry.

    Wow- that's a lot of vouchers!! I tend to spend mine as I get them so I've never exchanged them either. Great idea though

    been away for a while as I dropped my laptop on the floor (whoooppss) now the insurance has sorted it out and I have a brand new spanking one! so anyway just wanted to say that you are still doing really well! I haven't done a hotel break with the clubcard vouchers but we are saving them up in the hope of doing something with them early next year.

    Hello everybody
    Nice to have you back Hannah, shiny new laptop and all, lucky you were insured.
    Guys, I never ever spend my clubcard points in the shop. You get 4 times their value on the deals. I get my family RAC membership every year with them. I buy my sister's ones off of her too as she only ever spends hers in the shop so is happy for me to take them. It just shows though how much of our hard earned money Mr T gets, although we do spend a lot on fuel - I spend £50 per month and OH spends £200 per month as he does a fair bit of running around for work - he always fills up in Tesco though for the points. Anyway, think I will cash them in and try and get a MacDonald Hotel - they look lovely. It'll be for OH's birthday so will be a nice treat.

    Are any of you on O2? They do a family add on thing now - £7.50 per month and you have your own number and another 4 O2 numbers and all these 5 numbers get free unlimited texts and calls to each other. Sounds too good to be true, but it's working already. Never again need I hear the excuse "sorry I couldn't text you back - I had no credit"! LOL

    DD made dinner last night which was lovely - lasagne and salad, she even texted me asking at what stage would she add the porridge oats - I had sneakily done this a month or so ago and confided in her (no-one else knew - you couldn't tell) so bless her, she was doing the same. Enough left over for tonight's dinner too.

    PAY DAY ON 16TH!! SO THAT MEANS IT WILL BE IN THE BANK TOMORROW I THINK! WHOOPEE!

    Oh, and check out my signature! The furniture loan has come down! Ok, it's only the usual d/d payment, but still, it's down!

    I am so glad we were insured!!! and its the first time I have ever claimed against it so I was suprised at how quickly they sorted it :j

    We too get the RAC cover from the clubcard vouchers, saves us a fortune! We usually use the rest of them for days out vouchers and take the kids to a zoo about an hour away from us for birthday treats etc I think we might take them to lego land at windsor next year on them.

    Your meal sounds lovely!! I am a fair way off having my dc's cook for me as they have just turned 1 and the other is nearly 4!

    great to see the updated sig too x

    Both of your debts will be under 1k soon, that'll be a great feeling.

    Sounds like I need to check out what to do with Clubcard vouchers- I don't use Tesco that much so tend to just get money off when I can but it sounds like it's worth looking at some of those deals!
    Problem is I quite like being able to use them for groceries if I'm having a tough month like this month!!

    Well done on the furniture loan prim, it doesnt matter if its just a dd, the fact is the figure is getting lower:j We had lasagne too complete with both porridge oats and lentils ;) Need to get a few things today and probably the books for school which I really need to get a move on with. Got some cleaning done yesterday despite spending too long on here, so dont feel to guilty! Will change beds today and then get off to the shops. Have a good day.

    Primula, my hubby now thinks you are great.... after you posting about the clubcard deals I have gone on and had a look and I have just sent off for some Ramada Jarvis hotel tokens from Tesco deals to hopefully take him to London for a weekend break in Oct for his 40th birthday!
