    I renewed our Pet insurance through TBC with the same insurer as our house insurance and managed to get a 15% discount and £63 cash back :D makes the pet insurance £3.95 for the whole year :rotfl: I love that I've made £95 by paying for things we need anyway :D

    I have Superman's review at school this afternoon :) can't wait to see how he is getting on. This move has been amazing for him :A

    :j:j:j Superman is Flying :D:D His new school are really happy with him and he has made some progress :D He doesn't like his Teacher's singing voice and covers his ears :rotfl: but loves playing the volin, doing his artwork (clay modelling) and using the iPads. He like to join in class discussions but chatters on and on and on about alsorts of randomness that distracts him :o

    Money is looking "ok" this week £92 spent in Aldi yesterday :eek::eek: included halloween and christmas treats of £35.....Mr Hinge loves their tins of short bread :rotfl:

    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    I'm behind this Month Verbatim :o Usually start the xmas Prep much earlier..... after I've sorted out the birthdays.

    Saying that I have ordered Superman's new bike ( saw it reduced from £130 down to £90 and had £69 in vouchers :money:) and have at least 2 presents each bought for the little Hinges from bargains I have found along the way.

    we have vouchers from the FF for a games console this year which will be the main present as they all love playing it when we go to our friends..... just waiting on some good christmas deals coming up!
