Hypno does them Tigz, have a look at the gambling board for all the details, its normally 10p a day, easy enough free money and if you saved it all up (even at only 10p a day, sometimes its more) you'd have 36.50 towards someones present next year

I have been to the bank and paid everything in, and have had a tidy up, everywhere looks really tidy but I know it isn't really but it looks presentable I've done 2 more questions on aqa but ds keeps interrupting me so I'll leave it till later. My aunt will be here soon, then we're going swimming

Confession time

I've been shopping yet again

Ds wanted to go and get a kareoke disc as he's dying to try it out ... so off we went, and I thought I'd take back my Next stuff that I'm not keeping ... so far, so good ... anyway, I returned the 85.00 of stuff in Next and was on my way out when I spied a skirt that I'd wanted to order but was out of stock, and they only had one on the rail and it was my size, so 15.00 spent there Then we went to Zavvi and WhSmith and neither sell kareoke discs :rolleyes: I did buy ds a cute pair of woolly gloves in Accessorise (70% off ) they had a red bus knitted on each one, and as Tigz will testify, ds has a bit of a bus/train obsession, so I treated him (3.60). I then popped into Boots and spied an Issey Miyake perfume giftset ... when I went shopping on sunday I looked for it but they didn't have any. Anyway, this was the only one and it was hidden at the bottom shelf. I asked at the till and it was reduced from 45.00 to 29.50. I had a 5.00 boots voucher and 24.00 of vouchers i've had for a couple of years that I earned in my old job, so all in all it cost me 50p I do feel guilty though
Then we went to Sinsburys as I desperately needed some food and it came to 29.00 but I used 22.50 of nectar points and the rest in cash. It was all stuff we needed though

Oh what a fab shopping trip - you hardly spent a thing really!! I love perfume too -got a couple for Xmas and have a £20 High St voucher from a very kind parent at school so was going to buy another bottle...DKNY Be Delicious on my list as mine ran out.
The skirt in Next was obviously meant to be, it would have been rude not to buy it:rotfl: (That's what I said about the black combat trousers I'd searched for that magically appeared in the Bath store for me!!)

Fab shopping trip BB, lol at the bus gloves!

I haven't even been to the sales yet, were going to pop in today but I'm feeling rough with a cold poor me. DD is still full of cold too so will see how we feel later.

I really want singstar for our ancient PS2.

Happy New Year to you both ~ hope in 2009 you pay another £11k off your mortgage and all your dreams come true.... incl a cutie teacher xxx

Happy New Year, benben and good to see that you are nicely back into the AQA routine - it really will make a difference to your overpayments in 2009!

Morning all Its payday today, so I'm going to have one last go this year of getting the bank accounts straight in a minute :rolleyes: The money from the mortgage pot has also arrived in my current account today, so I can go and make the overpayment today :j I will also set up my new year signature too

There probably won't be much happening on aqa today as its the last day of the month so theres always a shortage of questions but I may try and find a matched bet, am assuming theres footie on tomorrow

Oh and 50p on the scratchcard for me this morning

benbenandme

Bank accounts all sorted and straight for the new year :beer: I have moved the money from my wages as necessary which has started off the mortgage pot again for the new year and has also knocked off another month Still playing around with my signature ...
