    happy birthday sammz. beautiful day for it (not that I've been out much. went down the allotment briefly tho just to fill up the bird feeders and scored a new shed door from one of the other allotment holders, who saw I needed one and had a spare one. So that will save my time & money mending my busted shed door yayyyyy :T :T :beer: :beer: ...) Anyway I've spent £15.50 on a bus ticket to go visit family for a bonfire & party for Guy Fawkes tonight, which should be lots of fun. Must dash everyone! Bus to catch!!!

  • 86p on a newly baked crusty french stick to go with the homemade veg soup made from the cheap market veg I got on Thursday. Have got £30 out of the cashie though as have to take the kids to a firework display at school later. There are rides and stuff, but we'll get in free as I'm on the PTA, and we're having our tea there. I'm hoping to come home with £20 which will be DH petrol money for the next fortnight.

    Hi all..

    Never had time to post here yesterday but spent £25 on dinner with work colleagues. Would have been less but as it was split evenly and nearly everyone was drinking thus my bill was bumped up by £8-10.

    Somerfield - milk (£0.59) and chilli peppers (£0.59) = £0.63 (had a free milk voucher to value of 55p so had to pay another 4p)

    Today:

    Greggs - iced cream bun (for me) and cup of tea (for OH) £1.24 but used a £1 luncheon voucher so just paid £0.24

    Went to Deep Sea World;

    Adult ticket was just under £9 each, decided it would work out better value to buy 2 x annual tickets at £26 each so £52 spent. Son under 3 so he was free.

    Lunch just shared fish n chips in their restaurant £5.50.

    Aldi (husband paid for the following):

    grapes £0.59
    bag of tangerines £0.59
    self raising flour £0.31
    sultana bran £0.89 (I think)

    M&S (I used my credit voucher so didn't spend any cash):

    Piri piri? cashew nuts £1.99
    2 x mini cheeses £0.70
    1 x box of cheese crackers £0.89 (I think)

    Would have probably went to cinema tonight but can't get my mum to babysit so saving of at least £12 for cinema tickets.
    Tesco points: 101 (£21.50, £19.50, £7.50, £21 & £5)
    Boots points: £0.28
    Pigsback points: 715 (4 xBoots£10 & 1 xPizzaHut£10, 2 x £10 clothing vouchers)
    Mutual points: 3417 (redeemed 8250)
    Rpoints:redeemed 28925 points)Cashbag:£8.91(£20)
