Seaside was great with the family. Small steps every day with my wife.Bought both boys ice creams and a train ride under £10.Used our membership for a swim this evening.Looks like I’ve managed to bring our shopping food down from £700 to £550 for this month.Avoiding doing any big shop till my next Tesco CC statement which I clear every month. Just checked and we have nearly £100 in vouchers.Seeing my mum tomorrow which should be great.LG
