    I think I'm at £41.52 - all got very complicated when I realised I had to put DS's lunch money aside at the same time!

    Not bad though so I have:

    Bingo: £100 (thanks Hypno)
    Sealed tin/piggy bank: £41
    Ebay so far: £10

    I should also get about £20 from quidco at the end of the month but we'll not count on that...

    I think it's £155 on the bingo now Beanie:D, miscounted earlier but still happy with that!

    Bingo, bingo:p:p!!! didn't win anything today but still happy, not long left now though:o.

    DS's dad redeemed himself by going out for milk for me and paying :D(forgot on way home and he was visiting). DS's phone is broken so we had a wee look on line to see what was available (I'm talking payasyougo and about £10)... DS thought they were ok but decided he'd rather wait till after xmas and add to it himself (my sis is sending money) and get something better:A. He really needs it more in the summer so should manage ok till then. The phone was about as old as him anyway and I'm amazed it lasted this long:rotfl::rotfl:....

    Currently trying to resist hotel chocolat taster offer thingy:o...
