    So today I've been and ordered a new sofa ... total cost £1008 :eek: :o:o


    But on the plus side, I did get a £4 payout from a survey site ;):D

    Sorry about your dad BB, my nan had Alzheimer's and it was so hard. I love to remember her how she was when I was young. I know my dad worries about getting it, he tries everything going to keep his brain active. Well done on the mobile deal, my contract is up this month and I am on the lookout for a good deal, which phone did you go for? I hope your dribbling has stopped now.;)

    Thanks Welshsaver, its a t303 i think it was called, I'm not very technical and just wanted a basic model, I can't be doing with having to read the whole manual just to figure out how to make a call :o:o

    I was thinking, rather than put the cashback into the mortgage fund I will use it to go towards the sofa, thats the first 12 months payments covered already :D:D

    Thanks BB, I have had a nokia 6300 for 18 months and wouldn't have a clue what it does, I just can't be bothered reading the manual.

    Good idea to put it towards the sofa, no payments to think about for a year sounds good.

    Tonight I've done a qualifying matched bet, it should get me about £15-£20 hopefully by the weekend ;) I really must get on with it all again, I don't know whats stopping me from getting going with it all really, I spend hours mooching on here, checking facebook etc etc, rather than actually getting on with making some money :o

    I will try and join at least one more bookies tomorrow and try and make a bit more money by the weekend, especially as theres bank holiday footie too this weekend, hopefully that will mean extra offers around :D

    Morning :D A bonus £2 in the bingo account this morning which was very nice and meant I could withdraw at last ... however, since the pcworld-shredding-my-card incident my new cerd number is different, so I tried to update it and it said I wasn't allowed and I'd have to call customer services as some of my transactions were pending :o:o so in the end I tried withdrawing to the old card and it said successful so will wait and see if it arrives in my account or not :o They have sent me a receipt for it.

    The weather here is looking rubbish already today :rolleyes: Think we might do some baking and I'll have a go at some more matched betting. Have a good day all and have a good holiday Hypno :D

    I have joined a couple more bookies and done the qualifying bets, so hopefully a few more pennies coming my way over the weekend :D

    I have also made some millionaires shortbread, bad really seeing as I had a filling done yesterday :o It has to set for four hours in the fridge :eek:Not sure it'll even last that long in my house :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    I think I'm gonna get some ebaying done this afternoon / evening, if I stick things on for a 3 day listings it will finish on easter monday, which if the weather stays like this could be a good time :D

    Just tried some of the shortbread and it is to die for, probably the best thing I've ever made ever ever ever :D:D

    Ds and I have spent the last hour painting, its being a really lovely day, baking, painting, crap 80's music playing and a bit of money-making, heaven ;)
