Good luck with the job shevs

And get well wishes to everyone who is sore and injured.

I went to The Range yesterday and managed to only spend £5 - helps that OH had dropped me off and I didn't fancy the walk home if I took longer than he did in the pet warehouse :rotfl:.

Was going to make my creative card crew card last night with the stamp I bought but ended up tidying the spare room when I went to get my stuff out. On the plus side all my hamper stuff is now neatly arranged in boxes under the bed.

Tried to have another go at my card this afternoon and ended up sorting the landing out so there is now space for the linen basket and then tidied the bathroom and chucked out a carrier bag of stuff from the cupboard that I was never going to use .

Am now off to make my card before I have to go and pick up DD from her friends. I won't distracted this time................maybe not

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Shevs, sorry to hear you've not been well, hope you feel better soon.

And THANK YOU to all you lovely people who send me good luck wishes too, still haven't heard when the interview is.

Skiergirl

Goochie - good luck for your interview

Shevs - glad your interview went well, fingers crossed you got it. Hope your blood test results are ok

Rusty - hope your back is better soon, try and take it easy, but not so easy you sieze up (not much chance of that with 2 LO )

Sylphraven - do you need to get your jaw checked out ? it sounds very painful, hope it feels better soon

Well, drum roll please...

:j My total for the challenge is now £216, plus some pennies :D

I have included money tracked at quidco but not paid, but haven't included nectar or tesco points, nor survey money that is not claimable yet

Afternoon Ladies

Good luck to everyone applying for jobs, my eldest daughter starts work on Monday and she is looking forward to it.

Had quite a good evening and morning (apart from watching the football lol). My Dad asked me to shorten his new pyjamas for him and gave me £6 for doing them bless him, and a friend asked me to shorten some net curtains for her and she gave me £20 yesterday afternoon. Bought OH a couple of nice t shirts in Peacocks with it and some boxers so now have 19 out of 30 presents. Getting there. I have the vouchers for another dvd box set but cant order it just yet as he is off for a few days and will see the post when it comes.

I also did some baby sitting this morning and was given another £10 and when I came home the postman had brought me a cheque for yet another £10 from daily clicks so the total of £46 to add to my £81 making - dum dum dum - (while I add up) - £127 - wow I have even surprised myself lol :T:T

Hi ladies

This is a question for the bingoport palyers out there!! I have registered and I did 10 posts the first day and I have validated my number and email (thanks Sylphraven). Now how do I actually play a game??? Maybe a silly question but not sure what to do!! Do I just go into one of the areas and find a game that's about to start and pick a crd to play on?? How many points do they cost? How do the numbers come up?? Do they just come up on the screen?? Do you have to click on the numbers on your card then? Or do you just watch and it does it for you etc etc??? I am such a newbie it's untrue!!

Furry - to play the games, click on where it says "free bingo" or "free slots" on the left. Then choose a game. On the bingo, select how many tickets you want to buy, then click "buy tickets" then when the game starts, it does it all for you. I've never won so not sure if it calls bingo for you but I think it must do.

I'm not sure how much the tickets cost, think it says though, it's not a lot really. I tend to buy 12 cards, it's up to you how many you buy though.

Hope all this info is true, I don't play on it much so if i've said anything wrong, can somebody correct me please!

Good luck

furrypig

Oh thanks so much Hayley will give it a go .... I think!!

sylphraven

Noooo, tq Furry, got my points for you getting 750 today as well, yay!
Tickets cost 2pts each.
If you win it just comes up on your screen like when anyone else wins & the points go into your account.
I'm another who buys 12 tickets at a time.

WARNING: I've read on the bingo forums today that the system sometimes crashes & loses all your points :eek: Dont know how true it is but it might be an idea to redeem your points as soon as you reach 8000

sylphraven

Well done Skier girl, nice total!
I am considering getting my jaw checked out if its still this painful in a couple of days time, or if it gets worse. Just had my first proper meal of the day due to it feeling better, but chewings made it feel swollen & ache a little, even with paracetemol & ibrufen in my system.

Marg

Hello Sylphraven - so sorry to hear of your injury, it's making my jaw ache just to think about it!- I'd get it checked out sooner rather than later if I were you.

(Just to cheer you up - I heard the other day on the radio that soldiers who faint on parade usually break their jaws in 3 places 'cos they fall straight forward on their chins.:eek:)

Good Luck to Shevs & Goochie with interviews & Furry with the Bingo.
