    All went fine at the hospital, my finger has finally healed now, they said it could easily break again though as it will be weak, but for now its okay :D

    £18 has come in from a casino reload thing at the weekend, duly added to the pot ;) I also found out today I won a nail brightener varnish thing (rrp £5.95), another goodie for my present cupboard, must get back into the entering comps again, thats two wins in 2 days :D

    Off out now to collect ds from his footie session, then a bit of time watching trains at the station before I do a mystery shop :D

    I don't do them very often, just every now and then I have a splurge ;) I mainly do the ones from the comp board on here, ones that you can enter online and are therefore totally free :D Download roboform first as it saves you having to fill in all your details every time, you fill them in on there then click a button on your toolbar and it fills them in for you! Also make sure you set up an email account just for comps as often you have to sign up for a newsletter etc, then this way it can all go in there without clogging up your inbox, just remember to check through it every now and then in case theres any winning emails :D I haven't really done any for ages, I did win a hamper of Uncle Bens sauces / rics once which was really nice and also £50 of various hair gels/mousses etc, again which I'm still using up ;) The comps board is great, they give you the answers to questions you need too :T

    Things are starting to look better on the cashback front; £53 has become payable on topcashback and £33 on quidco :D I still have over £100 waiting on quidco, but hey at least some of it will be on its way soon :j

    Phew! Good news about your finger and well done on the competition front :)

    People are so kind to post competitions on the board aren't they, I do quite a few, but haven't won anything as yet....however, I do have a package to pick up from the sorting office - oh darn it, they'll be on strike tomorrow - but maybe that will be a lovely surprise, as I can't think of anything I've ordered.....fingers crossed!
