For about an hour before I went to bed last night I was sneezing my head off and this morning I've woken up with a yucky throat and a fuzzy head Looks like I'll be stocking up on lemsips later :rolleyes:

Today is all about my finances, I need to crack on and get them sorted before ds gets back so I can concentrate uninterrupted. Other than that I need to get some petrol, would like to get some mor stuff on ebay, package up te other ebay stuff when it finishes and just generally check everything is sorted out for this week. We have a works meal out on thursday and I have no idea what I'll be wearing yet, its not a posh do but it won't be jeans either so I need to have a think about that one.

20p x 2 and 25p on the scratchcards this morning, almost at payout on one of them, I do miss the bingo though

My ebay stuff has finished on approx £20 which I'm pleased with, 2 of the items haven't finished yet but I dont think they'll sell, they dont have any watchers.

I'm slowly ploughing through the finances stuff, its very confusing but overall I think it'll be okay. I'm still waiting to hear whether tax credits owe me some money because of my tax return, hopefully I'll hear soon. If I do get an extra payment then that will cover the tv and the car repairs last month, otherwise I will need to sort that out some other way :rolleyes:

Tomorrow is payday so hopefully I can get this all straight today so it is organised enough for the new month as December can be chaotic enough.

Booooo ..... I tried to withdraw from butlins bingo but my old card was registered on there (the one that pc world helpfully shredded for me :rolleyes:), anyway, it wouldn't let me put my new card details on there as I had a positive balance, so I had to email them my details. I just had a reply saying that as I have been only playing free scratchcards and withdrawing this is binus abuse and they have locked my account and forfeited the money Boooo!!! It was good while it lasted though

ooh, that is not so great! I may have the same problem then.....I have just ordered a new debit card.......

Might be worth me spending my balance and taking it down to zero so I can update my card details......hmm.....have just bought £1 of tickets so I am a real player

I had the same as you as i got married and my card was in a new name., i phoned up and they changed it for me no problem. i have only done free scratchcard too and they never said nothing to me about abuse, what about giving them a call, where does it say on the website you cannot only do free scratchcards. I would sign up under a new user name.

Right, have played said balance right down to zero (was at £8.80 so not best pleased at having to do so!) but then was able to change debit card online, then had to deposit £10 again so that I have a cash balance which will then allow me to play scratchcard again tomorrow.....

Oh the things we do - but thanks benben for the heads up - I am sorry you had to get barred as a result, but I would just go and open another st miniver with another email addy and debit card if I were you.....

I have listed the tesco cds on ebay, the money from them will just go straight back into my account rather than the mortgage fund, but I should profit from the clubcard points instead.

I have another item to list on there later on tonight, it has been sat in my bedroom all year and now is an ideal time to stick it on there, so that MUST be done tonight I can see me having to do lots of trips to the post office over the next week or two. 2 of todays buyers have paid so far so I will get them all wrapped up and send them off tomorrow.

I have used that Vicks First Defence stuff, its £6 a bottle :eek: but it does work miracles, so hopefully that will see off my cold before it fully develops. I also noticed a litre bottle of Baileys somehow snuck its way into my basket when I nipped into tescos earlier well it was on offer for a tenner and it is Christmas
