The big trip is fast approaching and we are saving every single penny we can in anticipation of it!

We've not gone out with our friends in ages, we've been buying the best value option of everything we can possibly save on in the supermarket and are refusing to buy any new clothes or anything until we get to America!

The shopping over there is going to be awesome - I've been researching all the outlet malls and they look amazing, we're probably going to come back with way too many suitcases full of goodies!

And we've already got our theme park tickets booked - there's a great 7 or 10-day ticket you can buy which is really great value and gets you into all the Universal Studios and other parks an unlimited amount of times. Sounds like a challenge to me!

Hopefully when we get back we won't have to live off of loans like on those Wonga.com ads on TV, but even if we do, it'll be worth it!
