    Morning and thanks!

    I have enough cows for my baking set now so if you don't mind I'm going to pass your cow on to Dedicated DFW who was looking for some earlier in the week :D

    I'm sure they will happily name a cow for you!

    (There was a Cocalls in my herd after the last code you sent!)

    Another day of good post!

    £13.73 from Music Magpie and the following interesting nugget from B!ngo Br!tain...

    It's my birthday on the 15th (Woo!) and they have sent me a birthday card, here's what's in it...

    They credit your account with £5 in your birthday celebration month and if you use this then email them saying Week 2 Birthday Present, do the same in weeks 3 and 4. If you play on weeks 1, 2 and 3 you get a £10 bonus in week 4 :beer:

    My first birthday week will start on the 7th which I think is after my free month is finished. Good news indeed!

    Hi OOoooh! Thanks FF and cocalls I really appreciate it :D. I was going to post today as I went into a pound shop yesterday and they had tools - like pliers, screwdrivers etc all in cow print! Very tempting but I got a nice girlie tool set from my sis last year. Is it the meet this weekend? If it is am sure you'll all have fun!

    Hiya FF, hope you are enjoying your DFW meet!!
    I've been playing my BB tickets on the 10-11pm cards mostly. Bigger prizes. I've won £95 in total (but can't remember how long I've been on it) which means a £90 profit.
    Maybe try putting them on later instead?

    Morning all!

    I'm mainly updating to put off hanging up the washing this morning :D

    Not a lot of news to report really...

    BB is being mean to me again this morning, I might try the 10-11pm games as my month finishes this week :eek: I think Mr Fresian might start playing some bingo soon :D

    Speaking of which....he got a letter through saying his overdraft expires on Christmas Eve, so I'm going to have to drag him to the bank this week to try and maintain it for another year. He's had loan payment issues and bank charges though so I suspect they're going to refuse him any overdraft and I will have to pay the !%$@ing thing off. This will wipe my savings out pretty much. Urgh.

    I did my 4am overtime yesterday and feel quite jetlagged. I'm trying to think of the pennies though - I need to put my claim through today to make sure I get it by Christmas.

    I had a lovely time at the DFW meet on Saturday and was thrilled to meet everyone, especially the people who are on this thread a lot like pointypenguin :D Also, click here for monkey hats! Not quite a hat for Mr Pointy, but a nifty website nonetheless!

    Ebay monkey

    Monkey Balaclava
    (My favourite!)

    The ladies got to meet Mr Fresian too who was quite sociable, hurrah! He did look quite worried when Pointy said "You're famous already!!" I think he thought I was talking about him a lot more than I do :D

    I must go and do washing now before work. I also suspect I haven't put the hot water on for my shower again. Oops! Still, only three days to work then I'm ON HOLIDAY until the 29th :j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Happy Mondays to all!

    Morning F_F, glad the meet went well. We'll have to sort out a PAD one next year!

    RE: OH overdraft. I'm going to switch mine to EGG today (hopefully). They are offering 0% until Jan 2011.
    Virgin also pay into bank accounts, so it might be a better way for him to pay it off :confused: unless he needs it every month.....
    Just a thought :) x

    Woo lunchtime!

    We had "Colleague Financial Awareness" seminars at work today.

    The wee man was talking about Section 75 protection on credit cards. I waited until the end to tell him to make sure and tell colleagues that this didn't apply if they paid for goods/services through Paypal :D

    Honestly, talk about teaching yer granny to suck eggs. I knew more than they did!!
