    Actually the idea of chips is much better than the reality - we were both stuffed after half a tray! should probably have just bought one and shared but that always leads to fights...

    Well no more BB but I think (was trying to count with DS chattering in the background) that I made about £177.50 over the 30 days so not too bad! Off course if I'd been paying to play I would have played through £155.... not that great a return really...
    Day off and christmas shopping to do but I think a mooch and some more tea first :D.

    Skinty that is a fabby amount from the bingo, we dont seem to win much at all, nothing for the last week:mad:

    Have a good day off and I hope you make good progress with the Christmas shopping.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    :xmassign::snow_grin:xmastree:Christmas shopping done - the rest to be delivered a la Margot! Have even got stocking fillers, sweeties and cards...

    Meant to treat myself to a gingerbread latte but got distracted so that will have to wait until next time I am in the city, then it would really have been christmassy:D.

    Very cold here but bright and sunny and all the hills/mountains have had a wee dusting of snow - Scotland is very pretty today!
