    I got up and went to the gym this morning for the first time in about 6 months :j :j I only did 20 minutes treadmill, 10 minutes bike and 5 minutes hand bike, but I felt pleased that I'd finally ventured back in there :D

    Afterwards I went to Tescos and spent £63 :eek: Although £5 of that is stuff for my mum who will pay me back, and I also got a lovely double duvet cover reduced to £4.89 :D I stocked up on a huge box of weetabix (£3) and a huge bottle of persil liquid (£4) which I wasn't reckoning on getting which also bumped the total bill up. I have got loads of fresh veg though and will try and eek out till the end of the month now if possible :o

    I need a shower and lunch now, then clean the guinea pigs out before I go and collect ds.

    10p, 20p and 50p on the scratchcards today and I reached payout on one of them so a tenner is on its way to me :D

    Back from collecting ds, his dads bunny died this weekend so he's a bit sad about that :o Just waiting for another matched bet to settle, hopefully I can soon get going again on the moneymaking, I seem to only be able to focus on one thing, either my diet/exercise or monsymaking, somehow I need to be able to do both :D

    I still have to clean the guinea pigs and do some housework too.

    Hi Benben glad to see you are still doing the MB offers seems a bit lower now don't they? Still every penny counts. Ladbrokes have been good recently and Will Hill so still worth doing.

    Have you looked at BingoPort? You need 8000 point for a £5 Amazon voucher but it is free to sign up and you get loads of points to start with. To make points you play free bingo or slots and submit posts on the forum. Also refer a friend they get 1000 you get 3000. A bit boring to write the posts but easy enough you can also spin a wheel to earn points if you get below 200.

    Also well done on getting the mortgage down.

    Thanks Tallgirl, I may have a look at Bingoport tonight. Last night we stayed at Mums because of the roadworks, I'm hoping our bit of the road is finished and they'll move on a bit tonight!

    Today has been a nsd, as was yesterday :T £10 received in the bank from the scratchcards and £4 from a survey received into paypal. 10p and 25p on the scratchcards, loads of housework to do tonight, just off to sort out dinner :D
