    Thanks guys!

    Hi pink Hayley - If you sign up to any of the St Miniver bingo sites you can do the free scratch card. The one most people join is butlins. All you need to do is deposit ten pounds then do the free scratchcard which is found in the scratchcard section. Then when you have done that and have one at least 10p you can withdraw the ten pounds and then do the free scratchcard every day (Sundays you can do it twice). Once you are up to over ten pounds again you can withdraw your money.

    It is always a great idea to save and also make more money, you are getting twice as much extra then hopefully!

    I have managed to write a review this morning, so obviously not feeling really terrible. Very close to payout now got over 46,000 points.

    I had a nice lie in this morning... am still in bed actually hehe. Think I was catching up with my sleep from the night before. Have sent OH to the shop to get some bread so we can make some breakfast.

    Ohh and he has just popped his head through the door with my new Pump It Up DVD. Might have to have a go on that later.

    Think I need to write myself a bit of a to do list today as otherwise I will sit around doing nothing all day so here we go..

    To Do

    Pump it Up DVD
    Ironing
    Sort out clothes in wardrobe
    Write a review
    Do any surveys in inbox
    Tidy Bedroom
    Clean bathroom

    If I think of anything else will add it later.

    Well I have done a few bits. Have sorted out some stuff in the bedroom and tidied it up. I am trying to get rid of stuff as if we buy a flat is going to be less room as will be smaller so need to be able to fit all the stuff in. OH said he will go through his stuff at some point in the month.

    I am going to do the workout DVD in a min.
  • Your lie-in this morning sounds blissful- I was was woken up ridiculously early when the post arrived and then couldn't get back to sleep :rolleyes:.

    Glad to hear you are having a productive day around the house. I have the first Pump it Up DVD somewhere and might have to dig it out and give it a go again. Although, I remember it being a bit tough in places and wondering how the perfect-looking dancers in the dvd seemed to be doing it so effortlessly without even breaking into a sweat!

    I have the first one too, is really hard work isn't it! I like the music on this new one so hopefully will like it. I haven't actually done it yet oops! Was going to do it before lunch but then the landlord came round to look at our washing machine again and so I waited till he had gone by which time I was starving and so had lunch instead haha. I have managed to clean the bathroom and the kitchen floor as well now so feel less like I am living in a tip.

    Well I did manage to complete my list on Sat. Yesterday we went down to my Aunties and Uncles for my Aunties birthday in Kent. We had a nice pub meal and my Uncle paid bless him.

    I am only about 500 points away from payout on Dooyoo so might write one more review tonight and then will be there. I will have a bit of a break from reviews after that as have got an exam in 3 weeks and really need to start revising.

    Last night OH and me were talking. WE were thinking of going away at Jan as we both have some time off. We thought instead we are going to try and focusing on finding a flat to buy. I also want to try and have a good clear out so we aren't moving with loads of clutter.

    Good luck with the decluttering, you may find some gems to sell to help your deposit

    It is mainly OHs stuff as I sort through mine more often. He does have a few bits we will try and sell like his playstation and things which he never uses anymore.

    I have managed to reach enough points on dooyoo now so just waiting for them to become redeemable and then will redeem for my cheque. Will be having a bit of a break from dooyoo now so I can get some revision done.

    I did the food shop after work, which wasn't too bad. I got some cheap gloves and a couple of books for a pound each which was good. We got loads of chicken and beans that were on offer so won't need to get them for a while anyway!

    Got my scratchie money today so that is another ten pounds off.

    I need to update my budget etc later. I know that I am running very low but I expected that. I may have to eat a little into next months pay at the end of the month but at least next month is a short month with only one birthday!
