  • Well done on the £5 scratch Jen! I've only had 20p once, and 10p all the other times. I only do one a day though. I have £3.30 so far.

    LM don't feel guilty, you deserve a treat :) Though I know how you feel. Everytime I spend something, even 50p, a little voice in my head tells me that I should be saving it... terrible but then I'd rather cope with this mindset than a 'spend spend spend' one. It's keeping a balance that I'm finding difficult!

    I've just checked Cashbackrewards and I have £20 confirmed, just another £5 and I'll be able to cashout, so hopefully next week that'll be cleared :j

    I'm off to wash my hair then maybe have a walk into town to get some stuff from Boots.
  • Back! Is anyone around or are you all too busy having lives? :p

    I have a mini dilemma. Do I move my Icesave ISAs to Natwest for an extra £38.50 insterest a year or not? I know it's not much but I think it's better in my pocket... hmm.

    Dont get me started on the time Hayley. I have tried explaining to my sisters dad it takes 3.5 hours. He said thats fine he will say 4 (why???) and we will stop half way for 1/2 hour. So thats 4.5 hours. He is picking me up at 3.30am, so thats 8am. We cant get into park until 9am (we get an hour earlier because of staying in hotel). :rolleyes: Nevermind, im going to sleep all the way there :rotfl:

    The film was The Notebook. Made me feel all goey and sad... :rolleyes: Im such a wimp.

    Home from shopping, about to have a bath and a quick tidy round, then chill for the rest of the day.
