Hello everyone, I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! picked up my new laptop today and am so happy!!!!! (am choosing to ignore the fact it went on the cc for now!!!!) it is so shiny and fast it makes my old pooter feel like it belongs in the ice ages!!!!!!!

anyway, going to do a new sig at the start of jan and take it from there, although my fella is looking at getting a new car as we both hate the one we have got now, he bought it in a rush and has regretted it since!

have strayed off doing my meal plans so need to get back into that in the new year, think i am just gonna chill this next week ready for the hard slog to start in jan.

i can now join the daily scratchcards and start doing my surveys again!!!!!

right am off before i bore you all with talk of my new computer!!!!!!

love rags

ok, have just registered with littlewoods bingo for the free daily scratchcard but it wont let me go on to the actual scratchcard just puts me on the deposit funds page then throws me off saying it cant find the page!!!!! really annoying!:mad:

we have borrowed guitar heros for the wii and am laughing my head off watching him think he's a rock god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

mummy2mygirls

hi rags, good to have you back!!
I use the littlewoods one, did you put in a deposit first??you have to have some money on the account to be able to play the free scratch card so i put £10 in played the free scratch and won 20p then requested the £10 i had put in, then didnt request the next £10 till i had £10.20 so i still had 20p in the account so always get the free scratch....did that make any sense??? Its quiet good as they give a few double scratch days and i have also one £5 once and a good few 50ps and £1s so it adds up quick, also they have given a few free £1 for some reason.....

Glad you had a good christmas,
I just popped on quick as im of to bed now but had to have a quick nosey around here!!!!think im hooked!!!lol

speak soon

Good morning everyone!! :coffee: brews up!!!!!!!!!!!

managed to sort the scratchcard thing out after shouting at it!!! won 10p!!! also only had a 10p and 5p survey on onepoll and none on pureprofile so will have to keep looking for more. (maybe they are not putting so many on as its been xmas?? )

i am going shopping today as my fella and ds1 have gone to watch the banger racing with my dad so gonna stock up all the cupboards and fridge (he moans when i do this as usuaully costs over the budget) so hopefully can be under the shopping budget once starting again in the new year.......... it will be nice not to try and make something out of nothing, and i need to stock up on my baking stuff anyways.

this new computer (sorry will stop talking about it i promise!!!!!) came with microsoft works and on it i found some templates for budgets and stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very handy to make my fella see sense. only have to survive on mat pay for another 2 months if work let me have 3 weeks in feb as annual leave. not looking forward to going back to work but am looking forward to having the extra money to pay off our debts!!

hope everyone has a good sunday,
love rags

morning rags,
n the littlewoods one you get two scratchcards on a sunday just to let you know! i got 30p today all helps lol.. i just check everyday and try and open it again and it says if you have done it two many times. Over xmas they have been giving loads of two scratch days.

Hope you come in under budget for the shopping,
xx

i did the scratchcard twice today and won 70p!!!!!!!! every little helps and its free money!!!!!!!!!!!!! just need to find some more free money.

just checked out the freebies board and registered for some aveeno cream as its quite pricey so will see, some people reported to getting full size tubes so fingers crossed..........................

ds2 fast asleep so been through all my cupboards writing myself a list of things i need, dont know if i can be bothered to do some in aldi and the rest in morrisons so may be naughty and do it all in morrisons..........got a box of pampers nappies (about 104+nappies) from asda yesterday for £10 so dont need them for a fortnight or so.

oh and ds2 has cut his first tooth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cant see it yet but can certainly feel it when he manages to somehow clamp his mouth round your hand when your not looking!!!!!!!!!!!! my baby is growing up too fast..........

Pips_Mum

Oh bless his first tooth!!

Went to the sales and got my camera, seems like we all had something naughty on our credit cards.
I do Butlins Bingo and just won 70p and got a £1 bonus for logging in. Might sign up for littlewoods too, I know it ties up a tenner but it is also free money. What do they say you have to speculate to accumulate!!!

well just went to morrisons for my shopping and spent £70, although got a lot for my money. my tin cupboard is now full, my cereal cupboard is now full, my jam, marmalade etc cupboard is full so on the whole we can eat for the next few weeks!! spent £20 over my budget but will def be under budget the next few weeks as will only need to buy fresh stuff and baby milk. most of the items were morrisons own or value products so you can imagine how much i got, its a shame they dont have the value range on everything. going to check the price difference in aldi next week.

should of done a meal plan really for next week but havent got the motivation at the moment, really need to kick myself up the back side and get going again.

might start a fresh new diary in the new year so can track my progress for the full year................................
