    Hey girlies,

    Totally agree re the Minis, i've heard horror stories, but i hear horror stories about a lot of cars too, so i'm trying not to be put off them for that reason. Plus, my OH knows a lot about cars, and he thinks it would be a good car for me. We'll see, got to see if i can afford it first lol.

    How are we all today?

    I'm here Jen - been looking at ways to make some extra money. Thinking of mystery shopping, but then keep telling myself i should sit down and go through matched betting. I need to save £3,000 for some dental work by the end of December.

    Have fun on your 3 day weekend Jen.

    Do you not remember the situation with Dooyoo last year Jen - they booted me off for using one review that was written by my friend on another site, didn't bother chasing them up to sort it out, they annoyed me so i gave up. I may get my OH to sign up and i'll use his account. However, i hated writing reviews so i think i'd rather do Mystery shops or matched betting. So far have £13 in my Butlins Bingo account from free scratchies, so going to keep that money in there and just keep adding to it everyday.

    I've not done any deals on Quidco in ages, i must get back into that.

    Its double scratches today girls.

    Yeah its a shame about Michael Jackson, was up when news hit he was in hospital and was scouring the net for confirmation he had died.

    Feel well bad for all the people who were going to see him
