    Morning everyone, hope you've all had a good weekend so far. It's snowing here... well, kind of, a bit has settled and the stuff that is falling now is a bit sleety.

    That's great you got your car mm, I bet you manage to pay the debt off before your original savings target date.

    I'm not sure if I dare mention it on here, but I did my scratchcards this morning, got 50p & 10p on the first one so I withdrew, then I won £5 & 10p on the second, so I was able to withdraw, then I got 50p & 10p on the third. I feel like I've taken all the fivers recently, please don't hurt me! :o I'm going to see my friend in hospital later, fun fun... he wants me to smuggle beer in for him :rolleyes:. I really want to get to £2000 in my ISA, when I leave Boots I'll have at least £130 tax to claim back, though I expect it will be more as they will probably tax me for another week or two.


    Morning all,

    I won my first £5 today too so halfway to withdrawing on one i withdraw on last week :D:D:D 10p scratches for the other 5 scratches though (do 3 cards).

    See MM you will get yours eventually!

    I am super excited now lol. No snow for me though.

    Just spotted that on tombola site, not as good as last offer as you can only play 1 £5.

    I might give it a go as won £50ish on one of them last time.

    Whats on TV is about 45p i think, i buy Take A Break anyway so will get it then.

    Ooh thanks for pointing that out - I forgot to do the last offer so will do this one! got to find out which is cheapest first though... hehe.

    ETA: Just noticed something. When I signed up to Littlewoods for the scratchcards I did it through a cashback site (where you get £10 for wagering £10... wasn't expecting it to pay out but it has paid out today. Waheey :D This is my lucky week... they haven't taken back my naughty £60 vouchers either... *coughs*
