    Just done the weekly shop and saved £6.56 using vouchers. Home made Pizza tonight I recon I can say that's a fiver - so I'm adding £11.56 to my total. Making it a grand £45.06. Yippee!:j

    It's all adding up folks. Noticed Froddington got an Amazon voucher from Nectar didn't realise you could. Off to see if I can get one. Good luck:T for the weekend eveyone.

    I saved a whopping £34.50 in the Body Shop today (over 50% of my total bill) thanks to some amazing deals and the Love My Body discounts.

    Because of the deals available, I got a few bits that'll be part of a few Christmas presents as well as my usual bits and pieces.

  • Evening all! Would love to join this month - starting with the £5 per day challenge.

    Hello mummies at home with kids - echo your sentiments/signatures and great to meet some like-minded people!

    1st hurdle is tomorrow's shopping - with vouchers I should save £38.80 in 1 shop (last time I saved £25 which was around a third of the shopping!), get 2 free Bounty packs and save £1 in another shop! Got a book of 6 1st class stamps today for a lost letter.

    Have just cleared out my bedroom and my kids room so will consider a short return to ebay perhaps...

    Am very inspired by everyone's posts so far!

    So if all goes well... I'm on £42.26 after the shopping trip, maybe more if the items I need to buy have promotions on!
    I've got nothing else but I've got my family.

    A heart-felt thanks once again for your holiday comments - I feel a lot more positive & have lots of great ideas to look into. I'm going to view the remaining weeks of the school holiday as a challenge - maximum enjoyment for minimum cost. DS is off to Dad's today so I will start my planning.

    Aureol - 3 weeks entertaining your little one on just Child Benefit is quite a challenge but I'm sure you'll do it with your positive attitude. My son used to love the "messy" bit at the Science Museum when he was smaller - the other thing he loved was that big open space at the Festival Hall, great on a rainy day, the kids can run around like maniacs while adults can listen to the free foyer music.

    Cherisong - it sounds like holiday planning is your true vocation - thanks for all the ideas.

    Thanks for this MsHalffull, I didn't know about the Festival Hall. My DS loves running around! He will love it!

    Hi everyone, the last couple of weeks have passed in a bit of blur so I didn't get to sign up for this month, but please count me in for £5 again. So far I have £8 from MS, £3.64 cash back and £10.50 from T vouchers (am saving towards holiday vouchers but will only count single value for now in case that doesn't go to plan! So a bit behind this month but did well last month so we'll see.
