    Hey Em, I bumped into you on bingoport the other day... my username is as imaginative as yours on there :) I tend to leave the bingo running, I've had a good few amazon vouchers though which is fab.

    I hope we will get a photo of the pink car, it sounds really cool. How old is your niece now? it only seems a moment ago that Joshua was born :A I bet she is a total joy though isn't she.

    hey beanie, mine is boring silver. I'd love a pink car but seeing as we are a 1 car family at the moment I don't think hubby would be over impressed driving a hot pink one :)

  • Emily I think its a great idea, even if you do spend it on yourself. It saves buying toiletries out of your wages. The only downside is losing boots points :rolleyes: Glad you are enjoying your wait for your car. I hope its all you hope for :j

    Hi :D - I tend to leave the bingo on auto as well whilst doing some questions. I'm saving for a TV for my mum for Christmas. Got £5 in Amazon vouchers so far though so need to get my bum in gear on that one :o.

    I will definitely be posting a picture of the pink car. I say it's pink but I saw one in the petrol station the other day and it's kind of a red/pink. I think I would prefer a baby pink car. I saw the most gorgeous one in Asda car park the other day. A hot pink mini!!

    My niece is 2 next month. She is such a little sweetie and I didn't think it was possible to love someone so much. I would do anything for her. She is just starting to put words together now. She said 'over the bridge' this morning for some reason!! She has also developed a thing for people putting their feet on the sofa/chair. She has a right go at anyone who does it!! It's hysterical. I could just babble on about her all day long. I think the people at work get sick of it ;).

    We have done a birthday card to send into CBeebies for anyone that watches it. They better show it as it took us ages and is costing a fortune with materials and posting!! Her birthday is on 20th May so keep an eye open for a little girl called Ellie who's 2.

    I've just devoured a whole easter egg :o. Oh well, I've got the hospital on Monday so hopefully that has added a few pounds :cool:.

    Oh bless her, she sounds a little darling. I know what you mean, I could ramble on about little Lily all day, which has come as a welcome change for people because for the past 18 years they have listened to me going on about the other 3 :) I had forgotten a lot of the baby stuff though so it's all new and magical again for me. Sometimes I look at my little treasure and cry a few tears, she's just so flippin perfect.

    I will make a point of looking out for Ellies birthday card on CBeebies, 2 already, wow where does the time go?

    Hi everyone

    Sorry for not posting recently, got caught up in the Debt free birthday challenge thread.

    I have started on the PAD challenge again and am making payments towards my Barclaycard. If I can clear this and pay the £8 a month I am paying now to other debts then it cuts a month off my DMP.

    I'm off for the rest of the week now and am going to do a big declutter before my birthday on Saturday. I am going to be ruthless and either ditch, donate or sell what I don't need or use.

    On the back of this, I am doing a mad Ebay day on Thursday, listing things for 99p and seeing how they do. Will list them for 10 days.

    Did a mystery shop today which will get me £8 and also got me a freebie to sell on Ebay. I did a food shop yesterday too and did quite well for spending just £20. Got some fabric conditioner on a TMF so will have to sort that out to get my money back. Only £1.50 but I could pay that off my Barclaycard.

    I hope I get some money for my birthday. There are a few things that I want but can't justify buying from money that could go on bills/debts.

    Right, better get this mystery shop written up and then get some sleep.

    A week tomorrow :j:j:j - I think I am more excited about that than my birthday ;).

    Paid another £5 off the Barclaycard this morning but think that will be it for a week or so at least as I'm not expecting any more money in my account until I get paid.

    The big declutter starts at 10am!!
