Nothing to report, except....its my birthday tomorrow!! I am being extravagent and have a £25 hair appt in the morning. Followed by a trip to the Zoo with the family, with my Tesco clubcard days out vouchers and then the husband and I are off out with a few of our friends at night for some drinks and dancing! I have to say, i cant wait. Mum is babysitting for a few hours so it will be the first proper night out since Evelyn (who is 18 weeks old now). Having drinks at mine before we go to keep costs down and all 9 of us sharing a taxi to cut costs and they dont charge for entry in so thats a winner too! Shouldnt be too expensive.
Got 16 things on Ebay ending over the weekend (3 being mums items) so fingers crossed we get some bids as only got 1 bid so far.

Well I just thought I'd pop on to say that I'm off on holiday in the next couple of hours so won't be on here for the next few weeks.
I'd like to say that I will be very MSE whilst I'm away - but I think I would be lying!!!
Good luck with all you %'s - when I get back I expect to see lots of reports of amazing amountsxxxxxxxxx

Enjoy your holiday! Is it Florida? That's what my 1% challenge is for - saving for Florida. You don't have to be mse on holiday so long as you've planned for it
Enjoy it wherever you're going!
