    Thanks yukki ,

    He recons i will need someone to go in with me as my income is to low! (oh sod) I am going to see if i can increase my house at work? i think i will have to let that house go as i will need all my money for the morgage and if i buy it i need to get a new bathroom before i even move in then a new kitchen asap!

    There must be a better house out there for me! I need some patients

    Patience might be the thing Jen, it's not nice having to wait but then you don't want to over stretch yourself either.

    Remember the more deposit you have the less your mortgage will be

    yes that is so true i am just going to work my but off every month to make as much extra. (and shave my outgoings) the more i have to put down the better.

    Also i think looking for some extra hours would be a good move in the long term as i only do 16 hours contracted or 19 1/2 hours with my extra. I am going to find out next month is my extra can be made part of my contract so i do 19 1/2 hours with no extra!

    hi everyone

    have spent most the day cleaning today. Went shopping but didnt buy anything, OH bought me a bra and knickers bless him.

    Have wrote one dooyoo review today so aiming for one more today and also going to be playing on bingoport
  • If it was me, I would wait until next year to buy, at least... I think by then the prices will have fallen quite a bit more.

    I'm currently rummaging through my 'old jewellry' box, have found a few broken gold necklaces and bracelets which I'm going to sell for scrap. Not sure how much I'll get as my scales aren't very good, but still, I'd rather have a few £s as it's all useless stuff to me!
  • Can anyone explain how to make the points on Bingoport? I think I might have posted about this a few days ago... about why you can't just cash the points out that you get from chatting (or whatever it is you do on there), why put them in the slots when you lose them? :S

    ETA: just read you got your JPJ amazon voucher - yay :D

    another edit: I think I just got my 3rd star... unless I've only just noticed it and it's been there a while?!

    They don't let you just redeem from posting, you have to play the points to win. I have been playing the slots, i post to get some points, i then play those points and bank all my big wins.
  • ^Thanks wendz... but where do you bank them? *confused* I thought all the points were in the same place so how do you tell the difference between points you've won and points you get from chatting? :S

    They are all in the same place but i just remember that i have made 5 posts which is 500 points, i then go in the slots and cash in 500 points, i then play with those points cashing out all my big wins till i have none left and then i post again. This way i know that my points are constantly growing
