I would treat myself to some new clothes. Even though son has turned 2, I’m still wearing all my maternity clothes as that is all that fits me. I’d put off buying anything new because I was sure I’d go back to my old size but I now know that is *never* going to happen!
oh lovely. . . If I had £100 just to spoil us . . . .I really need some perfume, I don’t have any, so I would treat my self to some.
Then I would get my hubby a couple of DVDs as he has been such a sweetheart lately sorting out the house with DIY jobs as our little girl is now crawling and needed safety gates, fire guards etc. done.
And I would treat our 10 month old Jasmine as she’s growing out of her baby toys so I would get her a few of the pre school toys such as fisher price bright beginning touch and crawl. Lovely comp, nice to dream . . . .
left a comment on new site too. good luck with that x x x
I’d buy some new boots for winter and maybe some treats for the boys!!
I have a new baby on the way so would stock up on nappies, wipes, cotton wool and other essential items!

I’d buy some new winter coats for all the family 5 of us in total !

I always wanted a Kindle, my partner got me one for my birthday 12 weeks later my youngest decided to play frisbee with it! Would use the vouchers towards a new one for myself as I got so much use out of it.
Mum’s seem to never treat themselves including me. We always are spending extra cash on the children, if it is not getting new school uniform its a pair of the latest trainers for my son.
I would love the opportunity to just even buy a new scarf or a new bag, something that makes me feel like a woman not a mother if it is just for a moment!
Food!! Times are hard so this would be so much help
Bottled water for my fiery Italian babe as she is so fussy about tap water
I’d save it for christmas, Times are hard and I’d like everyone to get nice presents.
I love all that glitters so i would head straight to the jewellery
i would give these to my brother and his wife of 7 months as they have their second baby on the way and i no they would really appreciate them and they would go to good use

I would put it towards buyers a Netbook for my daughter to use at Secondary School.
I would put it towards some new clothes! My clothes are mostly years old, and being a student its hard to justify spending money on them when you’ve got rent, bills, food and tuition fees swallowing up most of your loan! Also, maybe some food that isn’t Tesco value!
Clothes! I’ve worked very hard losing weight this year – 2 and a half stone so far – and I’d love some new clothes to go with my new figure!
I would spend the money on something extra for the kids christmas, they always find a way to hint at something you havent got them right before christmas day lol

I’d stock up on nappies and wipes because they are so expensive (but I’d look for some offers to make the money last longer).
Commented on ‘5 top pester avoidance tips for parents’ at the Family Budgeting site.
I’d add the extra £11 for a kindle, it’s very hard to read a hardback book with one hand while the little one is resting in your arms
I’d buy a few mags, some nice bubble bath, a cream cake of two and hide in the bath for an hour! The rest I’d fill the cupboards up with dry good because I liked to have them full at all times 🙂
I would buy a new outfit for all the family, make us all dress up then have a night in with some posh food c/o Tesco’s Finest!
I would use it to buy the little one a nice little winter wardrobe.
I would put it towards a Kindle, I’ve been after one for aaaaaaaages!
Ooh too much choice at our local Tesco. I usually manage to not look as I can’t justify treating myself usually, but they have got a fab electronics department so I’d probably buy a Wii Fit to finally get rid of this Mummy Tummy! 🙂
Definitely groceries…I spend sooo much money in Tescos!!!
i would use it to buy my newborn niece some lovely goodies!
I would treat myself to some nice toiletries instead of always buying the cheapest

.

well dione you!
I would treat myself to all the lovely Tesco finest food that I drool over but have to put back because of the price tag. A weekly shop with no Value range would be bliss!
i would buy something for my one year old daughter
I just wouldnt be able to spend it on myself, even money I get for my birthday goes toward stuff for the kids *blushes* so I would spend it on some new cloothes for my 2 children,
lots and lots of nappies!
I would spend half on my partner and the other half on my eldest son for being so patient whilst i was recovering from having my youngest via c-section, love my little family <3 xx
I would update my old and dilapidated wardrobe with some new garb to wear.
I would treat myself to a new stereo as i just brought a cross trainer so i can get fit in my garage but have no music to use it too and its getting boring, really dont want to get despondent so need tunes
I would save it for christmas
If I won I have a huge list of things that I would buy for me, mainly because I never buy for me.
I have been on a diet and lost 1 and a half stone so could do with some new jeans as mine are being held up by a belt. I would also love a nice winter jumper.
I would buy some books that I have wanted to read for ages.
I would buy some steak, we can never have enough money for steak and me and hubby could do with a nice meal.
I would buy some nice bubble bath and some shampoo and conditioner that costs more than £1.
I would also have to sneak in buying the girls a winter hat, scarf and gloves set each because I love them lots.
Commented on ’5 top pester avoidance tips for parents’ at the Family Budgeting site.
We’ve just bought our very first house and buying everything you need is so expensive.
We’ve tried to buy supermarket own lines of things such as cutlery and furnishings but the house it still VERY sparse.
So id use the money to buy us a few more things for our little house and fill it out a bit – like a wardrobe – as most of our clothes are piled up on a chair in the coorner
I’d buy a few Christmas presents with it. So I don’t struggle in December. I’d also buy myself and girlfriend a tub of chocolate to enjoy haha
I’d buy all my daughter’s winter clothes in one hit so I would have to worry about buying them in drips and drabs as the months get colder x
I would use it to buy some new kitchen items such as a new toaster and a new microwave!!
Great comp xxx
I would love spend my money on “food” as the cupboards are nearly bare !!
I would save it to buy a nice big turkey for Christmas and all the trimmings to go with it so I can invite all the family for Christmas.
I would put the vouchers towards a new TV.
I’d buy an ebook reader so I don’t have to carry huge paperbacks around with me on my commute! 🙂
I would buy winter warmers,stock up on soup etc
Some fushia pink towels for the bathroom, some bubble bath, a BIG box of chocolates & some bottles of wine 🙂
I’d treat my step-daughter to some nice things as it’s her birthday in October. I’d probably get myself some random treats too – hair dye and vitamins I think!
Well My immediate answer would be to get a few toys for the kids from the man in the big red suit. However that would really not be treating myself. Its been so long since i recklessly spent money on myself i think i would love to go to the local tescos that stocks clothes and spend it all on me on what ever i like with out having to evaluate if i need it can afford it , will wear it or if i can get it cheaper so i can get kids something.
A Kindle 🙂
Visited your new site (and bookmarked – looks great :))
I’d spend it on clothes for my working wardrobe
I would buy some chocs, wine and DVD,s and enjoy some time with my husband when the children are in bed.
Due a baby in new year so lots of baby bits!
i would save it for xmas. we are having family over so this voucher would pay for our xmas dinner plus extras likes cakes and biscuit etc for the evening!
I’d buy DVDs and games for the wholer family to spend time together
i would start my christmas shopping for my grandchildren
I would purchase some new Autumn/Winter clothes for my little girl at Tesco as the Summer clothes are getting too small for her and can’t be worn in this colder weather.
If there is anything left over then I would purchase a new woolly jumper for my husbands Christmas present as he has terrible holes in the old jumpers and needs a new jumper. Tesco does excellent clothes.
I would spend it on Christmas presents – probably clothes.
I would buy a new christmas tree and decorations, and if there was anything left i would probably buy the Turkey and bits for christmas dinner
i would use the vouchers to get some yummy food a nice new clothes.
To be honest the way things are right now i’d probably stock up on loads of nappies, wet wipes and other baby products just so I’d have plenty to last a fair amount of time 🙂 x
We’re moving house soon, so I’d use it to buy some new bedding and a few convenience meals to help us through the move easier
Wine!
i would buy the ingredients to make a fine dinning meal for my wife with good wine!! then any change would be spent on my babies!
Id spend it on pressies for the kids for christmas
I would treat my self to a brand new xmas tree and some pretty decorations as i love christmas with my family its so magical and we have had our tree for 8 years this year (it only cost us £5 when we bought it lol) Its lasted so well but its just looking a little old (like me lol) and im pretty sure they dont only cost that anymore hehe! I love decorating the tree together its just so exciting, so would make my year going out and picking one together as a family and not just what we can afford.
I would give half to my eldest daughter who is just moving into her new flat to spend in the homewares department, she has seen some mugs and a clock she likes
the other half I would use to treat myself and my younger daughters

Would definately treat the other half and myself to the £10 finest dine in meal deal. I may even buy myself something new to wear while having our ‘at home romantic evening’.
Tricky one, bet I could spend it 10 times over lol! Would probably be sensible and get stuck into the christmas shopping. It would make it so much easier and less stressful
Everything I need to cook a great meal for my friends and husband, so we can all have a night off together!
spend it on the kids at christmas!
we need new towels and i want to buy some gorgeous soft chocolate coloured towels
Having successfully given up smoking I badly need to treat myself to some new clothes, (Sadly a size larger as I took up scoffing instead, but we won’t mention that, LOL!)
Something for all the family – toys, books, CDs, beauty items and clothes.
ipod
new clothes for my daughters
I might just treat myself to a few new items of clothes
I would buy my husband the new Star Wars Complete Saga on DVD, my 3 year old daughter some new Sccooby Doo DVDs and myself a bar of Galaxy and a bottle of wine. Peace and quiet while I have some “me” time!
I’d do a nice big Christmas food shopping spree – knowing that it was all paid for!
I would treat myself to all those little treats and luxury items on those Tesco shelves that I don’t usually put in my basket because they are not on my essential shopping list and I don’t usually buy treats for me!
I would spend £100 worth of Tesco Vouchers on a couple of DVDs, a lovely bottle of wine and some yummy food and then have a lovely evening in with the boyfriend x
Tesco is great as there’s so much to choose from, I think I would have to hit the clothes department first as my wardrobe is looking a bit drab! I’d also go buy a dvd and lots of snacks for a family movie night 🙂
I would like to put the vouchers towards a tv for the girls bedroom if possible. The one they have works when it suits, so to be able to buy this without having to feel guilty as I’d won vouchers, would be lovely. I’m very practical, so normaly I would use the vouchers for food shopping, but a treat is inline for my lovely girls.
I’d be torn between spending it on boring things we actually need like nappies and food, and things sooo want like clothes, CDs and lovely pampering things.
I’d spend it on clothes and some nice food treats for Christmas
I would put it away til Christmas and give my family an extra treat this year x

Some clothes for my toddler and baby who are both growing at an alarming rate-I’d also get my wife some wine as the baby is moving onto formula now!x
TP 6Ft Activo Trampoline & Enclosure. Please, pretty please. My kids would be so stoked 😉
I would do an early Xmas shop with my vouchers

I’d spend it on a next up car seat for my son.
I would put it towards an ipod for my autustic daughter, something that has been recommended by her therapist, but not something I can afford 🙁

Clothes and toys to add to the kid’s Christmas pressies.

Something beautiful and totally unnecessary like a silk dressing gown or a beautiful bag – it seems like forever since I did this.
I’d buy some new clothes and skincare products, it would be lovely to treat myself without feeling guilty!
A new TV!!
Apparently, we are in for a harsh early winter and I’ve seen some lovely clothes in Tesco- I would definitely kit us out well!

Commented on “Hello” in “Family Budgeting”.
I’d buy Amy some cute little winter clothes and maybe a little treat for mummy and daddy. How about a nice box of chocolates?
@caro_mad
I would put it towards a GPS system such as this http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.209-2672.aspx as we have just started geocaching and the kids LOVE it! Fresh air and finding new beauty spots for the kids to run around in, combined with the fact that it is an outdoor treasure hunt and you have a winner! It would be AMAZING to win this as at the moment we can only geocache when my husband is home as we have to rely on his iphone. Thank you so much for running!
I would spend it all on new clothes. 🙂
I’d treat my five children for being wonderful. We’ve had a tough summer due to health issues and money problems, so I’d treat them to some new board games and DVD’s.
We like nothing better than sitting around the table playing a game, – which in our house can last hours- or putting a DVD on and stsaying “In at the Movies” – with five children going to the pictures is a very rare occurrence, but we make the popcorn and have juice and fruit, close the curtains and enjoy the film. But we could use the new DVD’s to get something a bit more upto date and give us a wider choice.
Hopefully there will be a little money left to buy Mum and Dad a nice bottle of wine for when the children are all in bed too!
Many thanks for a great competition, sorry to say neither my phone nor I know how to tweet! But I’ve already emailed some of my friends to let them know about this and your site. X
I would get some nice fresh food and a few luxuries for my pantry for christmas, with two teenagers at home id have to hide them though! 🙂
I would treat myself to some good quality skincare and pamper products as when we are budgeting, these seem to be the things that have to be cut down on and it does give us Mummys a boost of confidence and a bit of well deserved pamper time xx
i would start some christmas shopping for my girls first christmas :)) to make it extra special for her
I would treat myself to a few bits of luxury food but otherwise I’d put it towards my food bill, which seems to cost more very time I go.
A new small TV for the bedroom because I’ve just found out the present one CAN’T be converted to digital!!
If I had £100 Tesco vouchers I would treat myself to a breadmaker and a mini vegetable chopper.
I’d treat myself to a new pair of Boots for the Winter and some warmer clothes.Think this year we are in for some cold spells.
I’d use it on Xmas presents
