    Afternoon everyone :). I found a £5 tombola leaflet when I went to visit my nan which se let me have, so I'm in the process of signing up now. If anyone wants to be my 'play mate' PM me your username and you'll get £5 free apparently:).

  • ^Ooh is that the site where you need to use real money before it lets you do the daily competition? Tombola.com? xx

    Definitely agree about car prices, they are going down down down, along with other non essentials. It's a good thing for anyone who has savings but rubbish for sellers!

    My OH's car he brought for £5500 last November ford priced it at £5k. we went to trade in at ford last week all they offered was £2500!! OH was not best pleased as that car is his pride and joy! He said no thanks. Its all to do with the car tax rise too.

    Ouch!!! thats a huge drop, def due to the car tax like you say-Oh's dad has a nissan navaro which is worth a pittance now, he bought it as a tax break through the business so it's not disastrous for him luckily.
