Awww:grouphug: dotty thank you so much. I read your thread all the time and I am amazed at how you cope with everything.

I'm feeling positive at the moment, although at times and I know that you feel this too, it is very hard. Never mind. This board and the people on it are here to keep us all motivated and feeling positive.:T
I never fail to feel amazed that a thing like receiving a £1 coupon through the post makes me happy.Before it used to be a trip to New York!!

Start a spending diary
Actually do a car boot sale

Hi pf! Alas back in work mid mon am after a trip to the dentist! Ugh!! Have slept a bit but feel a bit blugh...as always lovely to be back home with puss cats who are pleased to see me! Sure you'll have a fabby cheap hol - we did! Much changed from prev hols where I went mad with tat just got the essentials this time!! Even trips were "sourced" for the cheapest (ranging from 23 for tompson trips to £6 for the ones we booked!) & still had great fun regerdless! The break has also done the world of good for taking a step back & redressing the balance in my life which is always hard to do in the mundaness of every day life! When do you go on hol?

Keep up the good work! How did you get all those Tesco vouchers?!! Let me know how the car boot goes. Ebay a bit slow at mo isnt it!

Hi ff

Me and OH try to always buy petrol at Tesco - OH does a lot of miles. I also buy have the shopping there. We average £40-£60 every mailing (3 monthly I think) we then turn these into deals for treats.(£10 voucher = £40 deals) This month we are using some of the vouchers for a night in a hotel and free dry cleaning:D Have used them before to pay for half of a new kitchen, free car hire abroad for a week, free parking at Heathrow. I love Tesco deals:T

Yes ebay is slow at the moment. I'm hoping that the car boot won't be!!
