    Hi Mabel :). That would be a good idea but my nan lives in warden assisted housing, you either need a pac key to get in, or for my nan to buzz you in.... but she has never been able to work that and I don't think she's about to learn now! I can imagine the poor delivery person stuck at the door lol.

    It's tempting isn't it Mabel... I'm thinking about starting a new diary, my old one seems a bit redundant now because I don't feel like I'm in debt anymore (strange, I know).

    Ooh, I got another dooyoo crown, but it was for a review in speakers corner so no points :(. It was my ebay one, I should have put it in the regular ebay thread rather than the moaning one lol.

    Thanks Mabel :), it's my own fault for being an old moaner lol.

    I might start a house deposit/overdraft sheding diary as the overdrafts are all I care about now, well, after April anyway. As long as I have money in savings my dad can have his money back whenever he likes so that isn't really a big issue.

    Hi all, just popping in to say

    PIGGYPOINT ALERT!

    Theres a 5 point click! Big snap 2 is the click through. :) Just 23 points left to go before i can get £10.

  • Thanks for the heads up! I have 958 points... I'm gonna do my next few Amazon purchases via Pigsback (even though Quanti is a better rate) just to get the £10 voucher, then I'm leaving.

    Hmm, I have college tonight but really don't feel up to it. I woke up feeling very anxious today... I have no idea why :S My stomach is going crazy too and my hands are all weak and tingly (nerves?). I haven't felt this bad since I started back in September... Never mind, I'm trying to concentrate on other stuff to keep my mind off it.

    Afternoon everyone. Have dropped DD2 off at granny's and dd1 in grounded and in a mood (nothing new there). Been to library to stock up on books, done 2 chapters of my course that I keep putting off saying I don;t have any peace and quiet to do.

    I now have I reckon just under 2 hours for ME ME ME. YAY. Am going to write a review and read some.

    CL you'll be fine, like you say just don;t think about it.
    Nikki well done on the crowns, you do really well out of dooyoo.
    MM I wasted a couple of quid on scratccards too this morning and didn;t win anything either.

    It's a shame how bad pigsback has got lately, it used to be really good.

    I know exactly how you feel CL, I remember shaking like crazy when I went to the job centre. Do you have any rescue remedy stuff you can use? I try and listen to music when I need calming down, I hope you relax a bit before you get to college.
