takeaway glad you had a lovely birthday, well done to your wonderful DH 
rogue what a monkey! Although am not listening as I have 2 small DSes who will be like that in about 10 years time 
daisy how old are your DSes? Mine are 4.7 & 2.3 and we have never paid for a haircut for them - DH bought clippers for about £40 & does his & their hair whenever needed. We find it less stressful, and it probably saves £20-£30 per time between the 3 of them. (I try to get mine done only when there is a Groupon deal or by salon trainees, so cheaper too)
northender it's always sad to see a car go, but as you say, you are getting money back for it. If you are not replacing it, you will save money on fuel/tax/maintenance too.
Adora have fun in The Wilderness
Helena great deal on the hotel! £26 for 10 days is definitely doable. If you go near to closing time, you may even be able to get berries & cherries too - I rarely pay more than 50p per punnet if I go shopping in the evening.
Fluffy definitely LTB, what a heinous crime 
Update on my spending - around £50 at the polo. Everything was so expensive and £2.50 per ice cream or ride & £12.50 per glass of champagne soon adds up (I only had a small one, my first in about 3 weeks!)
Yesterday £13 in Primark on shoes for DH, 2 pairs swim shorts for DS1 (which of course DS2 will also benefit from a couple of years down the line) and birthday present for a friend. Then £1.60 in Tesco on milk, and £2.78 in Post Office to pay a bill 
. 50p for toddler group & £1 for class money for DS1. Finally £11 in Tesco again on yummy bakery goods, fruit & ham (all reduced).
Today should be less spendy - only got to wander to charity shop that sells all clothes for £1, as DH wants some smart polo shirts/short-sleeved shirts.
