nothing much to report in the last few days. Went out for dinner last night but stayed within the £30 max budget.

have a spendy week coming up with wembley monday (Tickets and park in your drive paid for), soccer school at Norwich City Tuesday and wednesday (already paid for) then camping on wednesday and thursday night weather permitting. Have a couple of bits of camping stuff to buy but should be covered by £50 maximum.

Not doing much this weekend as the radio 1 big weekend is on in norwich and theres so much traffic/people about. At work today so may go to the broads or the seaside tomorrow.

Decided to write a blog post on my LOVE of pallets and their alternative uses. Im on the hunt for 2 identical heavier style ones. Ive seen a couple lying about that if they are still there in a couple of days in having them!!!

Went to go outdoors, whoops spent £95! Needed a new waterproof so picked one up their too. Got all the stuff we need for camping now so will only have pitch fees to pay out.

Practiced setting up the van awning on the lawn. We picked up off gumtree last year. It's brilliant. Might take the big tent yet depends on how much time we have to set it up.

Getting very excited about going to Wembley tomorrow. Got a park in your drive booked for £5 and a pack up ready so will just be a matter of a couple of drinks to buy.

Better Phone is relisted on eBay on 24 hour listing. Currently at £45 with about 30 mins to go. Other one with dodgy button sent to recyclers and got £45 in total for that one which I'm pleased with. This is going to Wembley tickets cost!

Well yesterday went WELL! not the greatest on the money saving front spent about £60 ish all day between us so not awful. Park in your drive was within a two minute walk of Wembley and only £5 which is brilliant saved is ££££ on parking and lots of time getting out.

We won which was :T but as we were the last to leave we were very late and we had to stop on way home for a maccy d's hence the spending.

Have to get little one up soon as going to norwich City soccer school today. I bet those kids are going to be tired/excited.

Now to get ready for camping and earn some money!!!

Booked camping £14 per night :-) north norfolk coast. Some were £40 per night, crikey I've been in 5* hotels for that!

Got my first £10 receipt from HSBC save together today. Also had issues with setting up new Halifax account 2 records have accidentally been set up, now I need an appointment to sort it out! Grrr! Is it worth it for £5 per month!

Loved park on my drive so much I popped on a blog post about it, honestly it's really brilliant I can't rate it enough!

Hiya...just looking through your diary. Keep going! I have to take my kids up to a gig at Wembley in July...your parking sounds good. I used them once to go to see Kate Bush at Hammersmith. Are you able to share the details as the short walk and low cost sounds fab!

First night of camping and it's raining, of course it is! Took the big tent so it took 2 hours to erect but is so dry! On plus side it's a 2 bed one and BF is snoring in the other one and me and minime (and dogs) are watching Garfield in the other! I do think the air bed is deflating though!

Cooked curry on new gas stove and it was a beauty. Will need to get a camping bbq for next time too. BF honestly doesn't much like camping but I love it!

The site is lovely and loads of kids for minime to play with. Spend today £10 :-)
