    I think i might slow down with the bingoport a bit, as feel like i am getting a bit obsessive about it. Going to keep at dooyoo as quite enjoy it but not write too many reviews.

    I think you should only do what you enjoy as otherwise you will be unhappy and that is just silly

    On the plus side i got a pound in tab scratchcards today, might buy a line of tickets though.

    I wouldn't if I were you (and I'm not worried about your points). For one, you'll still accumulate miles whilst you're gone, so if you do ever decide it's for you, they'll still be there, and for two, you may still find the community fun - just because you don't write doesn't mean you can't read and rate, and also, you may find that dooyoo is helpful to you - there are, for example, money saving tips there, and you can use if for the purpose it was created - as a consumer resource!

    Think about it ;)

    Afternoon all, you're probably better rid of dooyoo if you hate it that much mm :).

    I've had a reasonably productive day for me. I went food shopping earlier & stocked up on some stuff, I got 4 boxes of special k because it's only £1 at the moment instead of £2.88 which I thought was a bargain.

    I found out that my heart rate is really bad (95 bpm when it should be about 70), so I'm paranoid that I've got gilberts disease like my dad, it's a hereditory thing where your body can't break down cholesterol properly. I'm going to ask for a cholesterol test when I next see the nurse which I know I'll hate as I've never had a blood test and have always hated the idea of it, I don't mind needles, it's just where they're sticking it. Because of that I'm trying not to eat all of the rubbish I usually do (including masses of cheese) and have had salad for lunch.
    Finally bought a home

    Hey all,

    I hope your cholesterol test comes back ok Nicki, i was the same about blood tests. Id never had one until last year, and the nurse was so nice to me and i hardly felt anything at all! I was buzzing by the time i left as i was so scared it would hurt more than a normal injection but it was fine:)

    Afternoon all,

    What have you been drinking today you lot....

    You are right there is more to life than money and one day i will slow down ( probably when i meet a bloke) but until then i am carrying on. Please don't all leave me with no one to chat too!!!

    MM i would leave you account open you never know over the year you might get enought rates for £10 without any writing or rating. also if there is something you want from amazon you could use it to treat yourself!
    :j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart :( Proven to be a little fighter and battling on with her heart condition :j
  • Hope your test comes back okay, Nikki. I had high blood pressure (it was in the high-80s anyway) then had a cholesterol test, but my cholesterol was only 3.1 which I was surprised by.

    I'm currently panicking, as usual on a Tuesday. I did something really awful today too and now sort of wish I hadn't done it, but the person deserved it really. I'm no good at being evil - I always feel sooo guilty!
