    Hi all, I've just checked Pigsback and I'm 19 points away from a £10 voucher! (Probably take about 4 months to get those!);
    Got paid today and bought the obligatory stock up from poundland (including a new cat litter tray as my cat has had hers for a few years now);
    In for the evening and Comic Relief is on so I'm away for a long soak in the bath with my Damned Utd book!
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
