    Afternoon everyone, well done on your wins Maria & CL, and your £5 on the scartchcards mm ;). I wish I could win £500, it would take me two weeks to earn that, longer if the tax was included. That's the depressing part of working in a shop, you earn sod all lol.

    I'm so tired, yesterday I was so physically exhausted my arms didn't even want to lift. I need a rest! I'll be so glad when christmas is over.

  • Sorry Maria I was so excited I didn't see your post - well done to you too!

    Thanks everyone. I still have £3.55 bonus money left and it says I'll lose it if I withdraw. I tried playing 10p and it took the money from my cash balance so I'll lose the bonus but still, I can't complain! :D

    I dunno what to spend it on, though I've just ordered some shoes I was lusting after on the Barratts website (20% off this weekend plus 7% cashback!) Definitely treating myself with some of it ;)

    Thanks Jen, I'm not sure really. Have you heard of the connexions places for young people? I'm thinking of trying to volunteer in one of those for a bit, I'd like to work in one but I also want to start my own business still, so I'm going to write back to the Prince's Trust and see what they suggest. I have no idea about paid work at the moment, I'll probably have to try and push my jewellery in the meantime to get a bit of cash. At least I have some saved if the worst comes to the worst though.

    I think it was worth losing the £3.55 cl ;).

    Deffo treat yourself CL, i would love to win that much! Ive never won over £40 apart from when i played for OH and won £192 but he kept that.

    Is it just one code per person we can use on Tombola? or can i buy another mag and use another code?
