Shopping and Lunch Spree: All for Free!

Sorry, I've been very busy lately with...I don't know what but all I know is that I just couldn't find the time to blog. Last week was my daughter's mid-term break from school which lasted for a week and after being back at school this week, they had a party to celebrate Eid (Hari Raya Haji) in the school yesterday (will blog about this soon). Today, thinking that all would be back to normal, everything changed when my other half announced that he was taking the day off work. I was so delighted and asked him to go out with me around the area.

We were out for most of the day up until my daughter came back from school. It was tiring but I was so happy because I got to buy some stuff and had lunch together. But (other than having my husband around, of course) the happiest thing about today was that all the shopping and lunch didn't cost me a thing. OK, it's not like I spent thousands on a few luxury goods, I merely bought some stuff that I've wanted to get for a while but still, it feels good. Nothing beats a bit of retail therapy, eh?

Remember the €25 voucher I received for my participation in a survey? Well, I popped into Marks & Spencer and bought all this stuff with that. If you guys were wondering why I bought a huge toilet roll pack, let me explain: It normally costs €4.99 per pack but it was on sale,  €6 for all of them so, I just couldn't resist especially since it looks so cute (well, to me at least) and smells sooo nice...I memang suka  part beli benda2 kecik and mengarut ngarut nie....Hehehe.

Also, while we were out and about, I remembered that it was probably a year ago when I got a few vouchers from Pigsback (for all my clicking work) but never had a chance to use it, until now that is. And, as it had been a long, long time since we last had a proper treat, my husband and I decided to treat ourselves to a good lunch at a nice place. Err...it's not that nice but I suppose, why not considering it was FREE!

Oh, silly me...I forgot take pictures of our yummy meals (I was that hungry). Maybe next time, OK?

Free Treasure Hunt Ice Cream- May bank Holidays

It's a long one this weekend. I thought that we could bring the kids to the beach. The weather however, wasn't too obliging. Compared to last week, this weeked is going to be a bit chilly and wet. We don't know where to go, but looking at the kids' faces I told my husband we needed to do something. Anything.


So, as a last-minute option, we decided to bring them to Ikea specifically, to the Smaland play area. I knew that there will be something going on in the place whenever a bank holiday comes around. I was right (as ususal!). After booking-in the kids for the next session at Smaland, we headed to the showroom. On the way up, the lady at customer service asked me whether we wanted to participate in their Treasure Hunt activity. The prize for completing the hunt was free ice cream!


My kids were overjoyed that they stood a chance of winning the prize. I know it's just ice cream but my kids are very easy to please. Maybe it's because they know that Mummy can get really busy, with no helper around. So, they're always excited as long as it involves the whole family doing something together.


The hunt promptly begun. I think it was so funny as other people were so busy looking at stuff to buy whereas we were so excited go back and forth in the showroom to find clues for the answers. At one moment I was like a kid, I told my husband, I saw this lady with her 2 boys loooking for the clues but I think they couldn't find anything yet and tried to peek at our answers. I refused to show it to them (with an evil laugh) and asked Ameera to hide her answer too. My husband laughed at me as if it was a serious competition with big prize to win. Haha... so you can imagine how competitive it got... the hunt was ON!

Don't mind Ameera's hair. She always looks like a ghost. Even I don't like to comb her hair!

Finally, after almost 45 minutes in the showroom we got all the answers. Yeay! We went straight to the counter to get ourselves 4 tokens for the free ice cream we so deserved. The best part, wee had so much fun running around here and there....


So, to the lazy ones out there, here's the answers for you guys who plan to go to Ikea between today and tomorrow:

Can u see it??

It's a bit challeging as the clues weren't actually easy to find (especially in a busy showroom) but we managed to do it. Now that we've "won" the prize we've become generous enough to help you out and save your time...Good Luck!!!
