Tesco Clubcard

I've never really given much thought to what I do with all the points that we accrue on our Tesco Clubcard; once a quarter when I get our vouchers through, I have, up till now, just used them to get money off our next lot of shopping.

However, thanks to a passing comment from another mum at Toddler Group, I realised that if you use the points for one of their Clubcard deals, you actually can get up to four times the value of the points. So, thanks to this chance comment, when my in-laws take Jacob and Sam to Legoland next month they won't have to pay the normal £35 entrance fee but will get in using Clubcard vouchers that have cost me £17 worth of points. They'll still have to pay £25 (yes, TWENTY FIVE POUNDS) for Jacob to get in, but Sam still gets in for free.

Anyway, I reckon this is a bargain and it makes me feel much better that they're not going to spend £100 in entrance fees to a theme park that the kids might not actually appreciate or enjoy. The entrance fee for Jacob is still a farking liberty (scuse my french), but at least £25 for a day out for four people sounds a good deal more reasonable.

PS they've still not developed chickenpox, 15 days after being exposed to it. If they don't catch it soon, or don't both catch it at more or less the same time, we're looking at no holiday at all. Which will be arses.
