  • I have been very naughty today - have booked me and the 3 DC's our Florida holiday for Easter 2012. I am so excited about it all but a little nervous about the cost.

    So will be hoping for loads of extra pennies to put towards the total next December :D

  • Thanks Sue-UU. Just a quick update only managed to find 2p thus far the housework has not been much, it it under some paperwork..which means I do need to tidy up. Managed to save myself some money and make some too ...quidco thanks to all who have mentioned it ...all signed up and earned £1 for the pot and a possible £50 if I take insurance quote...just shopping around to see if I can find a better one.£30 coming back from B.G for not doing my homecare service last year and reduced my monthly DD by £4.35 which will be going in the pot once a month on pay day. Fingers crossed the £80 will go towards debt...All in all a productive day. As she pats herself on the back. :j :j not so quick update though!!! ;)

    I didn't spend any cash today so had nothing to put in the pot - however did go grocery shopping (debit card) so transferred the £3.72 change to my "virtual sealed pot" esaver account. It has over £100 in it now!

    Hi Dreamdreamer
    I don't know if you are aware that there is a Virtual Sealed Pot Challenge as well - link is HERE I do both the Sealed and Virtual Sealed Pot's as do several others.

    Just added another £5 to my pot, now up to £50. Woohoo.

    Have decided to set up a 2nd 'sealed' pot and have added £9.50 from my change tin. I won't be keeping a running total on this 2nd one so fingers crossed I will get a nice surprise come the 1st December.

    Oooh lucky kids! Have you been before? I love Florida, we got taken on a "trip of a lifetime" when I was a kid and my older bro was given remission from leukaemia. Have been back twice since and it's just magical. Can't wait to take my (as yet not conceived!) children some day. A big tip if you haven't been before: buy the "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World". It really is invaluable (it covers all of orlando not just WDW) in getting the most out of it and has some great MSE tips too! :money:

    We're in big debate about whether to save up this year and go May 2012. It'd mean paying less toward my debts this year, but the alternative is to go May 2013 and I'm kinda hoping to be "with child" by then, God willing! Dilemma dilemma... maybe we'll just wait until I'm debt free and go with bubba! :D
    :D DEBT FREE 3rd Sept 2011 :D
