wow well done catherine! or WTG!!!
I make about £30 a month on free scratchcards - they are definitely worth looking into!
on the cashback thing - sometimes you have to spend money but sometimes there are free trials.... I've made loads on them LOL...
Dozydee - forgive me for cutting and pasting this from my diary but.... the paper hat challenge is where you are in a friendly race to be the first one to pay off £15K (since the start of the challenge which was about Oct) - if you win you get a paper hat! :rotfl: Hence the name.... It's just a supportive place to record your progress.... and be challenged on any lack of it!
Its on the DFW board - join us go for it... We get new joiners every month so don't be put off because we have been going for a while. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1227263
On the DFW board there is also the make £10 a day challenge - that is where you use cashback sites, gambling loopholes, selling stuff etc to make extra cash and keep a record of it. We share ideas on what you can do to get started. Free daily scratchcards for example give me £30 every month, I also get an average of £15 from bingoport, since last July I have had hundreds of pounds from various cash back sites, I've also made the odd tenner from writing reviews... http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1521467

Hi all - horses are often afraid of wheelie bins and dustbins and they "shy" at them - sort of leap back and roll their eyes in fear - that's what the farmer did! Don't blame him as you could get satellite TV with one of my bras x0 -
Hi ladies - thank you SO MUCH - because I had the day from hell today, one way or another - and just when I thought that I was as low as I've been for a long time....I read Rosered's post about fancying Patrick from eastenders - and commenting on his lovely teeth:rotfl: I snorted out my tea all over my computer at work and then proceeded to start crying with laughter. All in my office were just looking at me - but thankfully they think I'm a bit nuts anyway and humour me.
Have caught up with the rest of the thread now - and seriously I have had the sort of day when I thought my depression was on its way back (its amazing how many of us have been there isn't it?:rolleyes: ) - a little scary, but you guys have totally helped. I am picturing the tractor/underwear/farmer shenanigans as I type :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side
