On the money front I have just been on Music Magpie to get rid of some of my hundreds of CDs that I havn't listened too for years, now either i've got really bad taste in music or CDs are virtually worthless nowerdays!! Most come up at 30p per CD and then only if the cases are not cracked etc..:rotfl:
Oh well best stick with the lottery to try and make my fortune.

Well I initially thought today was going to be a disaster! Woke up to find a screw in my front tyre, tentively drove it to fantastic local tyre garage and left it with them. Picked it up on my way home from work, the srew had not penitrasted the tyre only in the tread and they had checked all my other tyres and pumped them up accordingly...no charge:j How fantastic was that!!
Had a phone call asking if could do a last minute MS, agreed than managed to pick up another in the same locality, so that £20 banked!
Email from Quidco saying my £27 is on its way:j(Still got lots outstanding though:mad:)
Cheques that arrived on Saturday have been banked, just waiting to win the lottery now!

Oh Stuart, you have confused me now!I am not investing in any funds, just saving like mad to pay off the mortgage, all monies going into fairly high interest rate savings accounts. When mortgage is paid we will look at investments.
Am I lucky then?? (jammer than a jodger!)

Ahemmmto you!
I am lucky though, lucky to have met a fabulous man after a long term crappy relationship broke down, lucky that this wonderful man then asked me to marry him,lucky that he did actually turn up to the wedding, lucky that I still love the him to bits, lucky that he makes me laugh as much as he drives me insane, lucky that he now thinks the same way as me about being MF, lucky that he still puts up with me farts, strops and all!!
As for lucky with money, if I win the lottery I will let you know!! I always think we both work really hard for our money and in return I would like our money to work really hard for us (but with no risk), I remember a couple of years back when I first joined all the cashback sites, I did all the betting/bingo sites that gave back more than I put in- I put in hours of 'work' joining up and betting the required amount etc.... I won a fair few hundred pound (probably more like a thousand if I'm honest), however all my SIL did was moan about 'how lucky' I was...erm no I put in the hours and the research and got back even more than I bargained for:j. Match betting is one thing I cannot get my head around, but then as I aid NO RISK is the way to go for me.
God i'm waffling again tonight:rotfl:

I've yet to meet two people who see luck in the same way; in every instance it is coloured by experience before and subsequently following an event. In general though they all see that things could be worse if not for both happenstance and also effort, nothing thrives if not tended except a desert...0 -

Lots of MSs and sorting stuff/junk at home.
