    for those of you who don't know yet, Kaz has officially stated that amazon redeem on bp will be limited to 2 x £5 a week! and thats your lot!!!

    _pale_ :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:
    I know it is very sad especially as i am already at 9000 points! Good run while it lasted and still a good run in all honesty. From what I can see you can still redeem for amazon and the bingo sites so you could try your luck at winning with free bingo money....?

    Another good day for me - Littlewoods bingo finally came through for me with a free 50p and then I got a 50p scratchy! Woo! :j

    Another couple of sales, had to refund a CD though as I dropped it giving it a polish before packing, what a numpty!

    Never mind, am well chuffed with the day's total of £72.63 - signing off a bit early tonight as I'm escaping to my friend's house for the weekend.

    Have a good one everyone, see you on Monday!:beer:
