  • Hi MM

    Quick update from me. I've won a HUGE £10 on the lottery lol, and have saved another £108.89 from not smoking, that's £1315.53 since giving up smoking in March 2008. I've also made another £478.03 from overtime at work, bringing up my total to £1917.17!! I am so chuffed, thanx guys, keep up the good work. Only £ 90.63 to go!

    Have a good night everyone.
    Cheers

  • Well done Casper - am v proud of you giving up the smoking and also on how much money you have saved and raised.

    still nothing to add - did win 2 tickets to the Good Food Show at the end of November so will claim the value of those when we use them as we were planning on going anyway.

    Well done on the win MM! I've not got the motivation to open the bank account to check what's come in, but I know it isn't a great deal since the last update.

    Casper, that's fab so far! Upgrade to platinum in order I think...
  • Thanx pandapaws and mickey mouse, I really appreciate the compliments. MM congrats on your win, didn't you win a free trip to London not so long ago? You're so lucky! Congratulations.

    Am way to scared to upgrade to platinum lol, what if I don't manage it, will be so stressed lol. Will think about it though....

    Cheers
