Just had a search and found some dress-making scissors, some material, a box big enough to put the bits and some huge rolls of black and white thread.....I love having hobbies!

I apologise in advance as I know this will be the wrong place to post this however I was wondering if someone could please tell me what the free scrathcards / lotteries are or where I can find the thread about them. Thank you all in advance.

Hi Jag Babe! And welcome to the thread! The free scratch card info you can find here - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1412565
I also go on banana lotto and kingo lotto and do 10 free lines each day! It is a bit like daily clicks but you get points and can reclaim them for DVDs/Books etc. I have done it every day for a while and saved up enough for a few things and won £35 vouchers once. Have fun, Katy x x

Hey guys, i was asked to pop in and say hi to you all and let you know i was alive!!:D

I am fine and dandy and enjoying the start of my seven week break from my playgroup job!:j

After having posted on this thread for almost two years i no longer felt the need to post on here, the thread has changed a lot which is great but as things change its a great time to move on and so this is what i have done. Thats not to say i am not still crazy busy as usual and still living the money saving life or being driven my huge productivity drive. In fact i seem to have a lot more time now that i am not coming on here all the time!

Glad to see everyone is doing well and people are continuing their small dfw things.

Enjoy Hamlet Urg, i am off to see Troilus and Cressida at the shakespeare globe in a few weeks, am sure you will have a great time.

Hi all

Hope everyone is having a good weekend/looking forward to holidays/enjoying nights out at theatre.

My list:

• free scratchcard (10p)
• worked for 4 hours today, and for another 4 hours tomorrow
• try to work on writing assignment for my class on Wednesday
• went to cinema today to see Moon. Very good movie :T And, since I have an Unlimited card, technically free!
• update my blog as I've crossed another goal off my 101 in 1001 list. That's a grand total of... 2 :rotfl: but I'm only on day 21, and I'm also working towards 6 other goals so there's hope for me yet

That's all so far. Have a good weekend everyone! x :j

Morning All

My plan for today is-

1) Check online banking
2) Catch up with emails
3) Enter competitions and surveys
4) Catch up with the forum
5) Look into free scratch cards and lotteries - made a start with some of the scratchies
6) Update budget - Have decided that I have to try and find some more ways to make money as not looking good.
7) Sort the document files on the computer – see if I can use any of the files for my blog to save time and money. Unfortunately nothing that I can use
8) Look into new ways to make money Applied to some more mystery shopping companies and aiming to do the ebay challenge.
9) Complete the ironing pile
10) Sort 10 items for Ebay – photograph and list
11) Walk the dog nothing beats free exercise on a sunny Sunday afternoon
12) Look for some new work contracts
13) Sort my diary for next week

Oh well another busy day for me - guess I better get a move on.
