OK - happy birthday sans, welcome travellady, waves to everyone else and I have boring black socks, one with a hole in.

And I forgot - just did an ocado shop (I know, I know, but they are SO much more reliable than any of the others, and I used mysupermarket to get all the offers) and used two £10 vouchers that I got from pigsback and valued opinions.

Marru, bingoport is free bingo at bingoport.com, You get free portpoints which can be redeemed for various things - either money at other bingo sites, or amazon vouchers. It's quite addictive. I won a full house last night - whcih was very exciting although I never win anything on the real bingos...

Hi am a newbie to this thread, so please please can I join:

I am off work today and was going shopping, but ds home from school so can't go out and decided to sort out spare room and go through a bag that had old papers, receipts etc.

Anyway, through doing this I ..........

Found £40 in my going out purse - and as haven't been out for ages and ages, forgot all about it :j :j

and

Am a customer of SWALEC and found a letter saying that I was part of their Energyplus scheme. Apparently you get so many points for every £ you spend. So out of interest phoned them up and have £35 :j to spend in Argos/homebase whenever I want - all I have to do is present the card. Also I can add monies to this card and get 10% discount on anything I buy, put £100 on card, it only costs me £90. Dd's birthday in 2 weeks, so that will be a cheaper one now - yippee!!!!:T

So just by doing this little job (which I have been putting off for ages and ages has netted me a minimum of £75 - whoppeeeee!!:j :j :j

Have had a day like this since I dont know when, so am dead chuffed!!

Have a great weekend everyone!
