No spend day today again, pleased, using voucher for Pizza Hut and a 50% off from this very site
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/dea...nt-deals#ph241
meaning a cheap and pleasant meal out.
Plus the wife's found some Tesco Vouchers which we will use with another place taken off the above list for another evening out.
Admittedly, Pizza Hut isn't too romantic, but it's the thought and gesture that's great from my aunt who sent the voucher to me.
Plus, did 2 one poll surveys, one said I wasn't suitable (has anyone ever won the £200 draw I ask myself?) and the other gave me .15 so I'm now 8.20 in, and the £40 target is only a matter of days away (he says hopefully!)
