    Hi all,

    Today I will/have:-

    Recycled hooks from downstairs cupboard to backs of doors in bedroom & bathroom to hang dressing gowns on.
    Recycled wardrobe (went to man who gave me mattress yesterday)
    Played bingo with bonus money and won £60!!!!! (Wahoo - thought only other people won)
    Put 3 books on Amazon - not done that before - very easy
    Daily clicks
    Daily free scratch cards
    Going to library for a few hours and having drink there as a treat - they have all the latest magazines there so I don't have to waste money buying them.
    Finally rang old credit card company and they are sending me a cheque for the credit on it (only £3.15 plus 5 years (min) interest).
    More apples to freeze (running out of space - must look for additional freezer on freecycle).

    Thats all at mo! Hope your weekends are going really well too.

    Oh aye, and I got the whole series of Band of Brothers on DVD using £20 worth of vouchers I earned on Pigsback - reduced from £60 in HMV. Happy with that.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
