Evening Ladies

Received my Quidco money this morning so pleased about that. Have just about finished most of my presents now, just want to find a nice warm coat for my Dad for Christmas and need to get OH something but hopefully I might have some more Amazon vouchers by then, have one due this week but havent won on BP since last week so hoping my luck will change for next week.

Just about half way there on one poll. Haven't heard back from myhpf yet about when I might get paid from them. Think I will have to forget about this money (may be I will be surprised one day).

Will definitely have to look out some bits for Ebay, keep putting it off though I dont really have much except clothes and not sure whether they would sell or not as they not big name stuff.

Anyway, catch you later xx

Haven't won anything on bingopoll for ages!! :rolleyes:
Are you sure you don't have anything else for eBay rufus? Literally I have sold the weirdest things. Most odd is a half bottle of Johnsons Holiday Skin moisturisers..sold it for more than I bought it for new

That is without any wins! :T (and with only your account, not including you OH's!)

Anyone up for a "£100 amazon by christmas bingoport challenge"?? I am!

I shall join in the bingoport challenge :j I really do need to start posting on bingoport everyday, it's quite easy really so I don't know why I can never be bothered doing it!

I'd join in your other challenge but i'm going away Friday so i'll give this one a miss. But when I get back i'm definitely going to recycle our old phones.

ooh I love the sound of the bingoport challenge!!

Is it £100 from now or including what we already have what do you think?? I normally spend more than 20% in playing each day! Might not make £100 but we will see!! Count me in! Great one Jammy!

Need to get my bum into gear as we were looking at holidays as brochure dropped through the letterbox and have now decided to go to Goa in Feb next year for OH's 40th. Were originally going somewhere first 2 weeks in August but the prices were dreadful and we spoilt ourselves with our honeymoon in the Maldives last year - I'm all excited and it's 8 months away!!!!

We just decided to go to Japan for our honey moon next year sooooo excited but not about the cost, flight should be covered by OH airmiles from work but still going to be veryyyy expensive, thats what I'm being thrifty for!!


You get £1 when you refer 5 people on onepoll

my mini-challenge will be saving up all my recycling and instead of leaving it for the council to take away I will drive it to tesco where they will pay me in point for it all!! just been out for dinner on the tesco vouchers! more point means more meals out :beer:

and i'm soooo up for £100 in amazon vouchers by christmas! there is (I think) 28 weeks until christmas, meaning we need 5800 points each week. ten posts each day for 7 days is 7000 points, so i can only spend 1200 points each week on games...170 points each day....... this is just about doable :j

Furry - I think it should be from now.......but as that will take us all the way up to Christmas day
