    been quite good, went onto tesco.com and cashed in vouchers i've had since before xmas, so i converted £15 of vouchers into £45.00 for there days out and i'll use them for when we go to blackpool.

    So that'll cover £20 for the Blackpool Tower and then the £25 can go towards going to the zoo, think i'll need to pay £10 but i'm making a massive saving so quite chuffed with my savings so far for our holidays x

    logged on to Cap One to check if my extra payment yesterday cleared ok and my balance is £7.81 better off :j:j:j thats put a spring in my step lol and i've also shaved £9 in interest off next months estimated interest as it's only £30.00 for next month but i'm hoping to put more into this month than i did last month as i only put £340 in it last month x

    going to asda later with £7 and that all i'll be spending.........going to get 2 pizza (2 for £4) 2 bottles of diet coke (2 x £49) asda brand, just as nice as the normal stuff if you stick it in the fridge and a couple of tubs of coleslaw and thats our fakeaway for saturday lol

    think i've sold my radiator cover for £20 moved into this flat in august but it wouldn't fit any of my radiators so my gran took it but she wasn't happy with the amount of heat that was coming through so she gave me it back, stuck it on gumtree and someone is coming round at 6 so fingers crossed they bother to come lol Also bought a sit up thingy from ebay the other day as they are £25 in argos and i got the same one for £3.20 and it's local pick up :T:T:T so saved a fortune lol so need to text the guy to arrange pick up x

    Hi Abba, I was nearly asking you what a sit up thingy was....took me a few reads haha.

    Enjoy your fakeaway. I ended up gettin they pizzas too - the hot dog one and hawaiian one are soooooooo tasty. I don't think I wld ever buy dominoes again, the price would remind me why not too thats for sure!!!

    I know you are going to Blackpool soon and I seen online that they are opening a madame tussauds there, just to let you know (it opens after we come back BOO).

    Can't wait til we go now.

    Hi Abba
    Hope you're all ok, and had a lovely Mothers Day.

    Thanks for telling me what B & M is, we don't have one so will have to keep my eyes open, might take a look in the pound shop at lunchtime.

    Hope you have a great day xx
  • Hi Abba

    Well done on selling the radiator cover as you say every little helps...:)

    Is there a specific page to sell on facebook or are you selling on your own page...sorry if you have answered this before....

    I am currently trying to sell my trailer tent but have put it on ebay at the moment but if it doesn't sell then I am keen to not keep paying to sell it...not that I am selling it for a profit or anything...but the money will come in handy iyswim.

    Hope your enjoying the holidays :)

    Do your kiddies like playdoh? Mine used to sit for hours playing with it....from what i can remember you keep it in the fridge sealed in a tub and I know its flour, water, cream of tartar or something like that....and from memory you boil it up and add food colouring...will raid my recipe book and try and find it if you need it....:)
