    Yeah thats what i thought, going to deposit money and withdraw whats already in those accounts and then try change card details, then if it doesnt work and they close accounts then doesnt matter.
    Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.

    Evening,

    Really do hope noone took my post earlier offensively. I really have nothing against people lending from their family, it's just not for me.

    Im super annoyed at myself for messing up another matched bet, this time lost £35 because I backed and laid two different games.

    Hi everyone. You've all been super motivated and having a great day.

    Maria hope the car doesn;t cost you too much. I had to drop mine off with my brother tonight so he can work on it at his mates garage for me. I need the head gasket replacing and the cam belt and the wheel bearing.- eek hope it doesn;t cost too much.

    MM hope you're is ok too.

    Jen stop hogging those fivers lol all I get is 10p.
    I also need to get back into matched betting again.

    Nicki I am going to plant some herbs and some spring onions. I have my lettuces sprouting nicely and also some basil and tomato plants coming along in my mini greenhouse at the mo.

    Wendz - Shame you can't afford one at the moment when you can keep an eye out on Tesco they seem to have the best supply and the best offers.

    Cl what a bummer about the bet at least it wasn't a huge amount you lost although £35 is still lots

    mm- I hope your new car is not going to cause you problems

    Yukki- i planted?? cress does that count! Well done on all that growing i hate gardening.

    Dawn- I can't believe your holiday is going to be that soon you must be so excited

    Stacy- i have phoned and updated my card when it expired and it caused me no problems but i seem to have been lucky at keeping my accounts without getting caught!

    back to the topic of borrowing money from family i wouldn't want to unless i had the money to pay them back. i don't think my family would lend to me anyway. They are all lovely but it wouldn;t be worth the hasstle

    I have ruled out using tesco vouchers for a holiday abroad it is just to much hasstle. just going to sit on the cash till i find the right priced break. Not sure where we will go we don't want to fly for more than 4 hours.
    looks like i could have all the things i want this year!! a holiday abroad a different car and buy a house. Holiday tick money there waiting!

    I need you all to tell me off, just won £10ish on a game on st minvers as decided to play some scratchcard winnings then got carried away and lost it.

    Played an extra bit on bingo earlier too as got a bit hooked on some slots :o so my cashback won't be as profitable :rolleyes:

    I feel soo bad afterwards i don't know why I do it, I moan about buying a house being ages away but I am not helping it!

    Ahh I did that a couple of weeks ago with my scratchcard money, LM, and felt really bad about it too :o We all slip up sometimes. I haven't done it since so guess I learnt my lesson!

    Jen it looks like you're well on your way to getting all the stuff you want. Where are you thinking about going abroad?
