    but if you don't use the vouchers for Xmas you will have to use 'real' money for Xmas that could be for your deposit . I've just confused myself there!

    Morning everyone,

    Well done on your crown Yukki, and your total Amy :). I hope Jen gets her computer sorted soon...

    I've woken up with a really sore throat, I hope it goes soon. On the plus though, my global test market points were finally credited (only took them 4 weeks), so I've cashed 1000 in for my $50 cheque. That should equate to about £28 I think with the way the exchange rate is going. I've also withdrawn £10 from one of my scratch cards so I'm up nearly £40 when I receive it all :).
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £181,991.57
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £59,482.47
    Moving fund so far £4500 - Premium bonds £4,000

    Hope everyone has a nice day, i normally get a lift to work but have to venture out today to get the bus and its a 20 min walk to the bus stop, i might freeze :eek:

    Well done on the £5 Amy. I'm the same Mabel, I've never won £5, we'll have our day...maybe.

    I'm having some toast hoping it will scrape the nasty stuff out of my throat, then I'm going to have some of the huge fruit salad in the fridge. I'm probably ill because I've been eating rubbish lately. I have my hot water bottle though :D. I got it from boots, it's all furry and soft so I'm happy. I think I'm going to have a day of making jewellery. When my throat is better I think I'm going to apply to the princes trust. I'd do it today but they call people back and I don't want to do much talking today with my throat as it is.
