    Morning
    Have done littlewoods free scratchcard and won £5:D, but can't seem to get into TAB to do theres so will try again later, have done 2 surveys for onepoll so thats another 20p just need £15 to withdraw that so that will probably take another 6 months oh well will get there eventually and its all free money.

    need to pay some bills today and then will see how much is left in current account and see if i can transfer to savings even if its only a tenner its better than nothing.

    have a good day miemie

    Another tip for you miemie if you can shop in Sainsburys or any supermarket that makes it's own bread about an hour before they close they have lots of reduced food going cheap bread, baps, cakes etc. Sundays between 2-30-3PM is the best time . They are perfectly fresh and any that you don't need just stick in the freezer.
