OH has treated me to two meals recently, one for my birthday and one to cheer me up, will claim £30 for them.
Really pleased as with a birthday 20% off voucher code and sh0p & sc@n vouchers I was able to get a good pair of jeans and a shirt from N3w l00k for 38p! saving £37.60! And the 38p was paid for with birthday money from the OH. AND I arranged to collect in store so saved £3.99 on postage.
Bought my OH a Marmite Easter Egg on Am@zon using a voucher I had earned in a survey so £10 saved there and again saved £3.99 on postage by taking advantage of a free trial of Prime.

Me and the rest of the F0xh0le inhabitants are off for our wombled holiday to Ireland this weekend to visit the over 70's.
So enjoy the sunshine, womble a seat in a sunny spot in the garden/ yard / or floor if no outside space, declare it a Money-Saving-Zone, sit/lie back, close your eyes, and pretend you are on holiday somewhere else.
Don't forget the sunscreen.
