    Morning everyone,

    The dollars thing is a pain mm, but sadly there isn't much we can do about it. There are a couple of Cheltenham related cashback things on the topcashback newsletter so I think I might have ago at them today.I forgot to mention that my dad was very lucky the other day and won £1100 on the horses. He doesn't usually do them anymore and he only bet £11. He's being good and saving it to pay my mum off for the house.

    I've barely slept all night, yesterday I woke up with a painful neck having slept awkwardly and it got really bad yesterday evening, I could barely move without screaming and usually I'm quite good at putting up with pain. Anyhoo, it still hurts but I'm hoping it will get better today. I saw that surrogacy thing last night, maybe I should do it to get rid of my overdrafts lol.
    Finally bought a home

    I watched that surrogacy thing too last night, was quite interesting. Don't think i could do it myself though, i would want to keep the baby.

    Afternoon girls

    Hope Jen & niki feel better soon!

    MM- The lady called yesterday to tell me the apartment was no longer for sale and they were taking off rightmove asap. :( She did say there were two other apartments on the same road on shared ownership but i said i wasnt interested in the others as there in a block of flats, which dont appeal to me.

    I have got my eye on a really rubbish 2 bed masionette in a town a bit closer, its very cheap and huge rooms (think its ex-council). Just needs a bit of loving and care by the photos....which i dont mind as long as its the right price as i enoy DIY and decorating. But again we need to check out the area as this town is known for being a bit rough! lol

    Well done to your dad, Nikki.

    I've spent my entire day rushing through all the Cheltenham matched betting offers. I should have about £700 by the end of the week :jnot bad for a few days work.
