    Yes you would need to spend £15 in store to use it.

    I am pretty good at not spending on clothes etc but takeaway food is my biggest downfall, i do waste loads on it :o just read my latest post on my diary :rotfl:

    Hello Mariagti

    I normally try and read your diary when i'm online so thought i would for once so hiya and not be so rude :hello:

    You're doing brilliantly, you will be debt free in no time and starting a family. Good idea saving all your vouchers, they will be so handy when your pregnant, especially the boots vouchers. Well done!

    Good news about your comp wins, i tend not to enter comps because i never think i'll ever win, maybe i might start entering them now as people do actually win :rotfl:

    Have a great weekend!

    Hi ya :hello: and thank you!

    Yeah them boots vouchers will be very handy indeed for all baby bits.:D
    I cant wait to be debt free, ive been in debt on and off for the past 4 years, it will be great to finally be able top afford to go out for a meal once a month or something like that.

    I thought the same as you about comps but when i saw the i won, i won , i won thread on here and saw everyone winnning things i thought i would give it a go. Won quite a few things now but nothing major. I want to win a Wii! or a LCD TV for when we move out. ;) You should deffo enter some if you have the spare time to do so.

    Afternoon all,

    Strangely this morning my dad went downstairs to let the dog out about 6.30am and there was my toluna letter (Halfords vouchers) sticking out of the letterbox.....on a sunday morning? Perhaps postie posted it to the wrong address...he is a new one. Anyway im happy coz now i can buy my spark plugs! Yay!;)

    I just popped to Asda to fill up my petrol as i only had a quater of tank and my dad has been making me paranoid all weekend that the petrol stations will run out this weekend. So had a £25 spend on my Asda credit card and so saved 50p at the pumps using the asda card.:D
    I also went into Asda to pick up a paper for my mum, and had a look round as its my nephews birthday coming up soon. But i didnt find him a present instead i found a cute clutch bag in the sale for £1.50. So i snapped it up! Dont worry the money came out of my £10 a week budget. ;)

    I finally got to £5 slicethepie yesterday and paid it to my paypal. And my tecso extra points reciept sold for £7.01!:D

    Hi - I have started with the comps, this may become addictive!!

    I'm glad your Halfords vouchers have finally arrived.

    So many people are panic buying petrol at the moment, do you live in Scotland? If i had a car i prob would be paranoid too.

    No im in essex.:D
    I thought id better top up though coz everyone esle is panic buying and running the pumps down low. And i need to take my parents to airport in a few days as there off on there hols.

    I find the daily comps are very addictive.I set about an hour or even two to enter comps a day. :o

    hey peeps,
    My Nivea goody bag i won came today:j id say its about £18 worth of stuff.

    Wages went in yesterday and thats where there going to stay! ;)

    It's my OH's birthday 15th May and we have booked that day (thursday) , friday, and monday off work. So with weekend will have 5 days off! Yay! We're taking them off as his parents go to Cuba for 2 weeks 8th may so we will get some time to oursleves.;)
    On his birthday we plan to go to London and go on the London eye and Aquarium. Ive never been to london before and its only about a 35 min train ride from Chelmsford! I get put off by seeing stabbing's, robbing, bombing etc there. My OH used to live there when he was younger so he'll be struting around the place not bothered, and i will be hanging onto my bag!:rotfl:
    Ive printed off some 2 for 1 vouchers for the Aquarium, im not sure whether to book Eye tickets online or just buy them there and then when we get there?

    Got any points to claim any leisure vouchers as you can use them in Aquarium and the Eye?

    OMG! Ive just won a pair of tickets to BTCC british touring car champonship! But its for this sunday and my parents go away tomorrow for a week so there will be nobody to look after my dog all day. :confused:
    And its a long way from home so i cant just pop back to let him out. My dog has been kept at home from 7am till 6pm before, but i would feel sooo gulity leaving him at home alone for the day. Im not sure what to do yet. I may give them to my OH and he can go with a friend, that can be his birthday present!:o Me and OH have a huge passion for cars, i would really like to go.

    There worth £48:D

  • Well done on the win... What a shame you can't go together if it is a passion of both of yours... Are you sure there is no one who can pop in and let the dog and check its ok even if they can't have him all day?
