  • Tesco have debited £48.10 so I'm guessing that's how much everything came to.... so saved £1.10 which I've moved to savings... still not sure which I prefer.... we've saved on petrol and impulse buys but £4.99 for delivery??? Will see what happens when it arrives... oh and all the bills have gone and we're left with £1.72 in the bills account which I've moved over to savings. So when that clears we'll have £90.26 saved. lol. Not bad considering I didn't take that into account when I did the 'pay every off by end of the year... 'thingy... We're ahead already! :D

    Oh and forgot to mention that we've 'won' a free photo session and £75 credit off any print with eileen mason photography.. :rotfl:

    Well done on the *win* IA - I do detect a hint of sarcasm ;)

    However, we also *won* a sitting and one free pic (worth £45) and if you can stay strong its deffo worth it. I had to pay a £20 deposit to secure the session (which I checked a million times I would get back - and did) but I have a loverly pic of the girls :D

    Last night I *won* my 2nd *free* holiday - if your gonna start doing the comps beware of these - in essence it is a hol that will cost you about £100 (not free) but I for one dont feel all the timeshare blurb is worth it - some do though and I have never heard or a bad experience with the actual holidays :grin:

    Hi, dont post often.

    If you are doing an online shop dont forget quidco for that little bit extra, or pigsback. Also, they are always loads of extra points or £15 of £50 shop on the discount thread.

    All the best

  • I had a look on quidco but it said you only got cashback on extra purchases and not groceries?
