Morning all, I got lots of 10p's too with one 25p from take a break. Am up to £7.75 on that card when they add my no lose bingo money back (they'd better do!). It said within 48 hours so it should be in there by tonight.

You're rich in comparison to us paupers Jen! I was looking in the Argos sale leaflet last night thinking about how much I want a TV for my room as I miss watching it in bed, then I realised that technically I could afford one. I'm not going to do it though, I don't think I could bear to take the money from my ISA.

I've paid my etsy fees (£2.87) off my credit card with the £8 travel refund I got yesterday, and I've put the remaining £5.13 in my ISA. It's all quite exciting. Not much planned for today, should really get a couple of dooyoo reviews done though.

Have been thinking about the rest of boyfriend's christmas presents and think I have finally decided to get him LOTR box set (£18 from amazon, I have £12 in vouchers so might end up trading dooyoo points for them after all), and. I'm also going to get wii play (was going to just buy an extra controller for him but the game is only an extra £2.50) which is £28 from HMV & pro evo which is £18 (am waiting til I get a student discount card for 10% off, then will try and use £25 from e-wallet. eek!). I'll also get him arrested development series 2 & 3 if they go back to £9.99 before xmas on HMV as I can get them for £9 each with discount (and possibly free with more e-vouchers).

Morning all, was lurking yesterday but didn't post.


For you guys looking for some more free cash...

Theres an offer on quidco, £7 for a free trial on swapgame, pick PS2 games to be sent to you though as they don't seem to have anything else and you have to receive games for it to be valid. I did it via Greasypalm where its also £7 as i have some cash trapped in there.

Greasypalm also have a £14 offer for getting a life insurance quote too with only finance life insurance, you go online, but they ring you to discuss, you don't have to accept looking at feedback but i am not sure if i am brave enough to decline on the phone! I would probably mess up what i was saying lol. I need another £10 on GP though so might have too then gonna close that account once i have my cash.

nikki have you though of getting a second had tv one that isn't ready for the switch over? people are almost giving them away i sold my 19" old tv for £10 at the car boot. might be worth it and you can buy a freeview box for a tenner too. just a thought

Yeah i am really chuffed with how well this year has worked out money wise. i have got rid of so much stuff i was never going to use and wons loads of stuff worth cash! i really must get back into comping but it takes so much time and i am hooked on dooyoo....Thanks yukki

Christmas songs Amy? Eww :P (sorry, I don't mind them at the start, but once I've been hearing the same songs solidly for a month they start to annoy me). Boots were playing them when I had my interview, it's going to be a long 7 weeks...

Thanks for the thought Jen. We do actually have a small portable TV which I could use, but my room is so small I only have one surface where I can put anything (On top of my drawers), and I already have my CD player there so I don't have the room. That's why I really need a flat one I could put on the wall. I'll get one one day .

jenjade

I would wait and get what you want then nikki.

oh no christmas songs already!! eeekkkk

well i have now managed to eat breakfast been so busy!!

thanks for that info dawn i am not with greasypalms but i might do them on quidco as it has done very quite on there.
