    Morning DC,

    Well done on the bingo win and ebay, i'm off to the grindstone too.

    Bye for now.

    Decided am really going to try the payoff 20k in 2010 challenge. Starts 1st Dec. And that Marbles card is really going to get a good thrashing. Am struggling to pay minimum payment on two cards this month, usual excuse poor budgeting. Will do it but will be tight.

    Go for it DC, expecially that Marbles card, it's criminal that interest they get away with.

    I like the start date as well ;), first mover advantage.

    TY Scrooge. Gearing up for the battle.
    Didn't get the winnings from ruby bingo, thought it was too good to be true, T & C clause, play through 3 bonus times or something.
    However made up for it with £20 on BB :)

    well done on the sales and the wins. Always must check the ts and cs

    Have a look at the special occasions board for ideas on low cost xmas presents that are quirky and look like you've made an effort

    Last year I did

    pots of gold
    snowman soup
    reindeer flannels
    flannel cupcakes
    sock cupcakes
    flannel yule logs
    stress balls

    My MIL is hard to please she was absolutely delighted and other people were impressed too!

    There are things you can do to reduce the xmas cost so go for it

    Morning
    Just checking in, I have a mountain of things to so today. From tax forms to ironing, shopping, parents evening and anything else that comes my way.

    Found a £10 bonus in my BB account :T have bought advance tickets.

    December is looming will it be Daring December? Devilish ? Thinking it will be Dashing because I'm always running around in a mad chaotic rush !

    Happy Thursday.
    DC.
