    Still havent had much luck on BP this last week, but should still have enough for a voucher this week.

    Claimed £20 from Cashback Chief over the weekend, waiting on Cashback Cascade to confirm then I can hopefully cashout on there too. Have 60p to go on Student Money Back then I can claim £25 and about 50p on Cashinco to go for my next tenner form there. Will all be really handy this month as had so much to pay out what with Rufus and then my daughter losing her plate for her teeth.

    Dont really have many more presents to buy so am going to start saving some of it towards getting some more intial charms for my family bracelet. Want a nice R and L for the two remaining grandsons which I havent got yet and seen some I like but they are £25 each. I have found some old gold bits that are no good like an old bracelet thats all bent and a couple of earrings that I have lost one to so going to ask in the local shop how much they would give me for them. Might be enough to have the next few charms soldered on.

    I also found a couple of gold charms from a bracelt that broke that I mgiht be able to sell on Ebay but will have a look first and see how much they sell for and whether they are actually selling. Have someone watching 2 of my items that I have on there but no bids yet. Not really expecting much with them as I tried selling it all before for silly prices and it didnt go.

    rufusdog - i meant to say yesterday, i love the fact that you have got a plaque for rufus, it is a lovely way to remember him :) Also, can you not trade in the gold pieces online? there are companies that buy gold bits and bobs :)

    I had a full house win on bingoport yesterday, sadly so did someone else so only got 77pts, still better than nout!

    Thanks Jammy, I will ask in the shop first as they know me in there, I have been in and out once a month or so for the last year having my initial charms soldered on. As for the plaque, I am going to look for a nice large pot and put a rose or something in it and then put the plaque in with it as I dont want Harvey walking over it and breaking it, he is so boisterous when he starts and weighs a ton or may be 2 lol. I tried to hold him on his lead the other day as I would love to be able to take him out for walks but he is just too strong for me what with my dodgy arms and shoulders so will have to leave it up to OH to do the leash holding. Rufus was easy to manage as he was a much smaller dog and where he was old he didnt used to pull.

    Well done on your win, even though it was a small one, I have turned it off for today as I have used half of my points I got this morning for posting already and not won a bean again lol. Thinking about making another account for OH but he will have to put his email and mobile number and then he will want all the vouchers even though I will be doing it.

    Think I'll pass on the bingoports challenge - spend far too much time online as it is :p.

    Have a bid on 1 of my eBay items I listed yesterday (maybe coz it's one of them Cath Kidston Tesco bags at 99p:rotfl:) and watchers on 2 more.

    Will be having a mini rest after this week as I'm away Father's day weekend

    ooh paddington it'll only take you a few minutes, go on you know you want to ;)

    rufusdog - i try not to play too many of my points, but then think "ooh just one more go!" so end up spending lots
