    Morning all.

    Nicki that's a good offer for will hill, think I've already joined though :(

    Nice one on the holiday wendz, I wish I was going away this year, but I must be satisfied with my car instead lol.

    Well done on the jewelery Stacy, I have a few items ending today with bids and more than one bid on some lol, which is unheard of but all good for me.

    I have worked out that I need to overpay my load by £120 each month to have it gone in a year (instead of the three years the loan would run for). I have decided to go for that and then any extra will go into the wedding / savings fund.
    I think it's doable looking back at previous months figures of money made so fingers crossed.

    Today I'm going to chill, tidy the house, put some more on ebay tonight, tidy and sort my greenhouse, and maybe cook a roast dinner.

    Afternoon everyone,

    Well done on the ebay money Stacy, and I'm glad you've been able to book a holiday Wendz. I'm sure you'll be able to take a good extra chunk off of the loanYukki.

    I haven't really been up to much today, though I've decided there are loads of bigish jobs around the house I want sorted like re-painting and things. I've also got an unlimited supply of pallets so I'm going to break them up and make them into raised beds for the garden so I can grow things without worrying about the dogs. I do love the dogs but they're pretty big (one's a giant breed), and I'm sick of everything being covered in dust, hair, mud or more recently grass as soon as I've finished cleaning, it's starting to drive me mad. Argh!
    Finally bought a home

    afternoon all,

    when do you start your new job, Jen?

    As for my hair... well I am terrified of the hairdresser. I have only ever been once but I think it traumatised me for life! I just remember looking so bad and crying for days (I was 11, hah). Buuut I think I might get my hair layered, my hair needs thinning out anyway and it'll disguise the dodgy bit!

    Evening anyone about.

    I decided to have a flutter again today :o I managed to make £20 profit on Tombola though and £30 from butlins on slots so £50 up and put it straight in my ISA.

    Would have been £70 but I played some.

    Hoping my lucky spell continues!

    Only 3 sleeps until I go to New York, heres hoping I don't catch swine flu though! :eek:

    If you any of you girls are interested in joining ING and getting £25 for free gimme a PM as I have 3 referral codes, I did post on the refers board but no response.

    The interest rate is rubbish but they are good at sending out codes for referrals, I joined through one and now have these :)

    Dawn how do you manage to be so lucky? Are you just gambling or taking advantage of cashback offers etc?

    As for ING are they internet based savings? If so I might open one, I need a new savings account
