venice was a baragin £1200 for 5 of us (although wee one doesnt count yet) i used my ppi claim to pay the deposit and the rest we have sold bits on ebay. Hoping to go to florida in 2 years..all these cut backs on tv packages and expensive food take aways..well worth it i say!
Got a great deal on travel lodge, boys want to go to lego land ut ouch about £400 to stay for a few nights in one of thier hotels. I looked at a local b ad b £160 for 2 nights, then i didscovered travel lodge is only 3 miles drive away £89. Didnt have the money there and then , glad really because it then went int the sale and i got the room for £58 for 2 nights with breakfast..then that day i got top cash back notification payment of £36 hit my bank lol so i got the room for £22,,winner! The tickets i plan on getting bog offs from food stuff you often see lots about. so that or see when the website does its up to 40% off entrance. Grandad can pay for the tickest as he allways gives them christmas money and im sure he whould be thrilled to be buying them a memory . Still trying to be frugal and not buy anything much. dh wants a dab radio for chritsmas so im on the scope for a nice one under £50.

Hi,
good to read your diary and see your debts coming down. Sometimes its hard to stay on track (well it is for me!) so make the most of the focussed times!!
Can I ask what on earth is laundry gloop???

mummy2threeboys

HI laundry gloop is liquid to wash the clothes its well gloopy lol. Theres lot of recipies out there, not the best in the world but its cheaper than wash powder i can make enough for 40 washes for less than 40p .

Had a lovely few wins on comps including a big dolls house, a whole new outfit from peacocks including sandels and 3100 lesuire voucher meaning i can take hubby for a hotel stay and cheap dinner at premier inn/beef eaters next to our local river side. and a family annual pass to our local castle/maze/grotto for nothing
