    Debt-free and Proud!
    Nowt so far and I'm hoping it stays that way. I've got my lunch with me (left over noodles from dinner) and am finishing off the office supply of tea as we speak. Can I make it another four and a half hours without spending? I hope so :undecided

    Hi guys,

    Regarding the pigsback points, at first i seemed to get loads of click throughs and now I get none, it's going to take me ages to get enough points for a voucher! Do you buy much through the site?

    98p so far but need to buy a stamp for a competition entry and some cheap lemonade if I want a drinky at home tonight.

    For my 98p I got two lots of handy wet wipes in boots on BOGOF. Some ladies things for 99p but had a £1 voucher and a boots magazine.

    Husband has spent nothing. And is getting a free hair cut on monday from the same fancy salon I had mine done in a month of so ago. He said they fell over themselves to book him in. Seems they don't get many men in there :rotfl:

    We where going to be spending about £30 buying a water butt, stand and connector. But they had no stands left and it was special offer. Was told supply problem. I hate companies that do that. Going to whinge to them in an e-mail latter.

    Yours

    Calley

    Nothing yet - but it's Friday and OH and I will probably meet up with friends after work (not done this for quite a while) but we've got it sorted. What we do is buy a bottle of wine and a big bottle of water. It costs just over £10 and keeps us both going for a couple of hours. Then it'll be home for tea (pasta with home made sauce yummy!)

    Yep, thats true!! Dont really buy anything via pigsback.. Once I've got another 100 points & got my £10 voucher that will probably be it... Waiting for some points to be credited to rpoints - that takes FOREVER though!!!
