    hypno - you still have a greater money making spark than me.... I might give listing a tv and a desk a go - see if I can get any dosh for them! I think if I could manage to clear them a) it would give us more space and b) it would give me fresh motivation....

    Perhaps I should look for another car boot sale (only ever done one - and that was last summer!)

    hmmm.....I would be very jealous too - despite my best efforts not to be!

    Talking of cake - I will have been in my current job for 1 year next week, so will have to buy cake I suppose to celebrate.
    You only have to do cakes if A) you tell them it has been a year or B) the twinks hobnobs don't turn out alright.

    So either don't tell or make something at home .....

    Hi ISOM, there is a list of scratchcard sites on the gambling board, but they are all linked to the same server.

    If you do more than one from the list, you just have to be aware that they are well within their rights to cancel all your accounts - it has happened to a few people, but I think generally it happens if you have to get in touch with the customer services, and it alerts them to your multi-account statuts.

    so, just a word of warning there!

    You could do butlinsbingo or littlewoodsbingo - but have a look through quidco to see which on the list you might be able to get a bit of extra cash back with too!

    good luck!!

    Quidco has paid out, so I have transferred £42.91 to the Egg loan, taking it one step closer to being paid off........:D

    Scratchcards were not high yielders today, but every 10p helps! The casino thing should make me a profit of £11 eventually!
