Waggy Tail Moments

  • Hi everyone,

    I've just had a huge moneysaving WTM.... It's my mum and dad's ruby anniversary in a couple of weeks and I've just got them membership to the national trust (with a free gift!) and a picnic hamper type thing to go with the membership for £78.45 using quidco, paying by DD, looking for online discounts etc. If I had got them all at face value it would have cost £131.95. Now I don't begrudge my parents anything but what a result!!!! A year ago I would have just paid the full price and been none the wiser. Sorry for the ramble but I'm just so chuffed!

    Can I join in? :j

    Just been to see the supervisor for the dissertation I'm doing at uni. Got some clarification of exactly what I need to do. What was once an extremely brutal project is now soft and fluffy and easy.

    Just celebrating with half a bottle of coke. :dance:

    (and yes I know it's not exactly moneysaving - but I don't care :p )
