    what if/when your kids change their mind about what they want??

    I guess I'm very lucky with my son (he's 11). He knows we can't afford to buy the latest 'super' toys, and that we have to be sensible with what we can spend. I've always taught him to appreciate not just what he's given, but also the thought behind it. He's always "Chuffed to little mint balls" as my mum use to say! - lol

    Hey Martin! I've taught him how to budget his own money and save a little too! If he wants something 'big' he has to save and earn extra money with extra chores. I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed to say he even understands about how interest works!! Our motto is if you don't have the money, you can't afford it. Save the cash in the bank and earn the interest while you're saving up!

    where can you get free kids books with the £1 quickreads vouchers please? and what are the called/look like? thanks very much :)


    :A :A

    Hi there, I got some yesterday at Tescos in their book section, they only had about 10 left, they're short kids paperback novels of around 100 pages, and will be great to read bedtime stories with, or if the child is a bit older, they will enjoy reading them.
    The titles I got are

    "The Stone Pilot" - an action packed adventure set in the world of 'The Edge Chronicles'.
    "Koyasan" - a spellbinding spooky tale.
    "How to Train Your Viking" by the Toothless Dragon. Bulging with good jokes, funny drawings and dramatic scenes, Toothless is the Dragon of Viking Hero Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the 3rd!!!
    "The Mum Surprise" - A brand new story about Esmie, star of the award winning The Mum Hunt
    I also got The Wizard of Oz for 97p but it wasnt part of the World Book Day promotion and cinderella and little mermaid books fo £1 also, not part of the promo but good prices.

    Sorry such a long thread but you did ask hahaha...hope this is what you wanted to know. xxx
    Dont know if Tesco will be getting more in or if once they're gone they're gone, you could try 'phoning your local Tesco and ask, I think Asda do them too, does anyone else know?

    You cant freebiejunjkie, the quickreads vouchers are for adult books and the vouchers gives you £1 off a certain selection


    NOT TRUE AFRAID.....The kids books even say on the cover (printed unfortunately, not a peelable sticker) ...."£1.00 or free in exchange for a £1.00 WBD Book token, or 1.50 euros in Ireland" WBD - World Book Day.

    So there freebie, I speak the truth. Honest as always, you have to have a good memory to be liar and my memory's not the best.
    Sorry LoopyLass but you're wrong, thanks anyway xxxxxx
