Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it. I've got some second hand wands, because apparently they're really expensive there 😅Worlds_Worst_Superhero said:
If you're planning on heading to Harry Potter studios, it's worth looking on various sites to see if there are any money-off coupons, two-for-one deals or any other offers available.laurenh1 said:
I have been saving money in a jar to pay for us all to go to Harry Potter Studios. I paid that into my bank account yesterday, I finally have enough!!
🙂
A quick Google will give you the latest deals.
It's not a cheap day out, so any savings will be a bonus (and means you'll have more to spend on souvenirs!)
Another good tip is to compare the prices in the gift shop with buying from online stores. Some items are much cheaper in the gift shops, whereas some are much more expensive.
People who've been say it is fantastic, hope you have a great time 😊1 -
Not a NSD for me yesterday. I hate to use the C word in April but I picked up some Christmas presents in the sale for my neice & nephew (onesies, very cute 😍) I got a shock at the cost of my Christmas shopping last year and I need to be more resourceful this year. I also bought my son a birthday present with the extra money I got in my wage from my payrise. Feeling very organised.
Worked out all my money for May too as I do at the end of every month. Will need to work hard to stick to it.
Hopefully a NSD today. Nothing planned, will report back later 😊

One for me today, making 18. Wasn’t sure I was going to make it. Set a more challenging challenge for next month due to a harsh downward turn in finances while I look for new work.As I won’t be going in to my former workplace, that means I won’t be spending money…erm but not earning takes the shine off that a bit!
I do have the possibility of some work but I really need to take care of my health in the short term, I find this challenge very positive for that! Thank you @cathybird and good luck everyone for May.1 -
