    We get two free cinema tickets every week with our life insurance. Sometimes we just go and watch anything just to use the tickets and not waste them. We sneak in our own snacks so it's a free night out! Taking DS this weekend and next week DH and DS are going to watch something they want.
    Can you sell your free tickets on FB? ust a thought!

    Yes skinnylatta, I probably could - I didn't think about that! Thanks!

    My DS has just given up football as his school day is much longer as from September and he wants to try to find a little weekend job so we have just put his football boots on a local selling site and on gumtree to get him some pocket money. Watch this space...

    When we went to the cinema last week michelle09, there was a family of 4 who paid for their tickets, got a drink each and popcorn/nachos and it came to approx. £70!!!! For a visit to the cinema, that's very expensive!
