  • Sounds like my kind of weekend :)
    I want to be credit card and loan free by Christmas 2010
  • BTW. The toboganning was a bit crap. Had a better time last week in the snow.

    The skydiving was brill though. Would recommend this.
  • Thats inspiring! I've wanted to try the sky diving, but havent got up to speed on 'spending' the Tesco points...just saving them up...its my birthday in a couple of months so I may just treat myself :-) Thanks!

    Tidy. Might need to save for a while. Its £40 worth of vouchers to pay for a family session on the skydiving.

    (Normal price is £160 or so).

    Wow your family is lucky! :T Thats some smart clubcard spending ;) It sounds more like a proper holiday than just a weekend adventure!

    Unfortunately we are a bit penniless at the moment so spent our weekend geocaching! :cool:The best 100% free activity IMO:j
  • I think that I love that. Just have to wait until the kids are old enough to walk before I could go, though.

    The tubing/ice-sliding is far better fun than the toboganning. Chuck yourselves down a specially made slope in a rubber ring!

    Paid for both my two (with clubcard deals of course) to do that with friends for their birthdays in November and they both loved it.
