    Don't you just love sites like this one rolleyes.gif

    Thanks for the laugh, I couldn't believe it when i saw this on there:

    It is an accepted fact that the more competitions you enter the greater your chance of winning prizes. It is also generally recommended that to increase your chances of winning significantly, you should enter 25 to 35 competitions week.

    Makes me wonder if I enter too many:p
    Just become FTBs & Aiming to be mortgage free by 2034 :wink:

  • I am happy to have a blood test if ever asked but then it probably is in my system so they could find other ways to prove I haven't been actively smoking it. I am working, and tryig to get some tax credits. It's only casual work and although I am entitled to income support sometimes (when I work under 16 hours in a week) it's so random I never know so don't bother. I am trying to get the tax credits instead though. I live on about £60 a week but that's for rent, food, bills, travel etc. Been waiting for housing and council tax benefits since February...

  • I like the little area in my local Asda with all the bent tins and stuff; I got a big tin of spag hoops for 20p just because of a small dent. Ditto tomatoes for 30p.
