Two mums spent just £80 each jetting off for a 24-hour birthday trip to Ibiza - and made it back in time for the school run.
Michelle Tocchini and pal Tanya McElligott, both 38, jetted off for a midweek night out earlier this month. They dropped their kids off at school on October 17 before catching a Ryanair flight from Stansted that afternoon.
The pair then landed on the White Isle at 7pm - and partied until 5am while celebrating Michelle's birthday. They sunbathed until their 5pm flight on October 18 and got home at around 11:30pm.

Michelle and Tanya didn't reckon they'd be able to go away to celebrate Michelle's 38th birthday because they struggled to find childcare for more than a couple of days. But after being inspired by a news story they read about a similar 24-hour trip, they checked out the flights - and a week later
