    Hi peeps,

    My case of Cider finally turned up today, im going to give it to my OH this time.

    Well i actually got one piggy click today and some piggy points had gone into my account so i had enough to get a £10 boots voucher, so i now have made my £100 boots voucher target! Yay! Roll on the Argos vouchers now!biggrin.gif

    Payday today, not sure whether to pay some into ISA or to pay my car tax now instead of end of month. And ive just remembered its my dads birthday end of this month too! Dont have a clue what to get him!confused-smiley-013.gif

    I finally washed my car yesterday, its gleaming now! Plus i got some free exercise and a couple of beeps off the passing cars while doing it!laughing-smiley-014.gifI hate living on a main road!redface.gif

    I popped to Asda earlier, as had to stock up on another bar of Galaxy! Good job i have plenty of lucheon vouchers so they arent costing me anything!wink.gif

    Hi,

    To start off ive had a rubbish day, as i found out my lil nephew Isaac who only started school 2 weeks ago is being bullied! His only 4 and so is the bully! The bully was his friend and has just decided he doesnt like Isaac anymore and has started hitting and bitting him. So my borther told him to play with his other friends, but then the bully kid went and told them not to play with Isaac or he will hit them too. So my poor lil nephew has been coming home in tears as nobody will play with him because of the bully and his on his own at play time!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Its made me so angry and sad for my nephew. he was so looking forward to school. :(:( my SIL has gone to the school today to see the teachers about it.

    Anyway rant over.

    All over the news today is about Halifax......who i bank with! they have all my savings and banking. Hopefully they will be fine if they merge with Loylds TSB though so im not too worried yet.

    I did some cashback clicks yesterday and have £4 from Jessops and 50 free photos on there way. And 50p for signing upto forever friends on WPT. So in total i now have about £70 tracking i all the cashback sites i use. I am thinking of opening an HSBC account for £50 CB and im still yet to open lovefim dvd rental which is now £17 on CBK. Im must do that tonight!

    Hi ya peeps,

    Well to start off i paid in £150 of last weeks wage into my ISA after all today. I will pay car tax with monday's wages. So i have made my target of £350 into ISA in September! :D Yay!

    My postman brought another £4 of Lucheon vouchers today, so i went to Asda armed with £8 Lucheon vouchers to spend on a present for my dad. I found a big pack of car washing bits reduced to £5 and wine gums were 2 for £1.50. So thats his present sorted plus £1.50 LV's left for me! I have a card for him already from the free photobox cards deal earlier this year or last year i cant remember now! And have a roll of Birthday wrapping paper under my bed somewhere. So thats that sorted all for free! ;)

    Got my £5 lightspeed paypal payment today too, ive got my eye on a jumper on ebay..only 99p at present with £1.50 postage may use this money and buy it if it stays cheap. I dont have any jumpers etc for the cold weather!:o
