    No wins on Blinking bingo this morning and the scratchies only unearthed 10p's - but it's all free - so better than nowt!

    Today is my "day off", so housework, housework, housework, followed by decluttering and Ebay sorting.
    I have one Ebay parcel to post and clothes to take back for a refund :o

    Also, I have to sign and post the application for the 0% card and ring them to transfer the balance(s).

    This weekend I also aim to do at least 20 minutes a day of toning exercises (press ups, crunches, the plank:eek: and tricep dips) and 2 runs.
    Then back to yoga on Monday, so might look semi-ok for our Christmas do in 2 weeks - here's hoping!

    Have a good day, Mac xx
  • Sounds like a very productive day, I love "days off" which involve housework, housework and housework. When my OH has a day off his involved golf, golf and golf :rolleyes:

    I didn't win on BB either - most disappointed.

    Good luck with your toning exercises, I go to pilates to do them as I'm not disciplined enough to do it at home! Have fun running as well - I have a date with the fells on Sunday morning :D

    Just played the last of my free bonus for today and nothing again!
    I think there must be a glass ceiling to how much you can win without depositing - maybe I've passed mine :confused:

    Little DD and I have been out all morning returning items and buying others. The kids have been invited to so many birthday parties, so I have bought presents in bulk from TK Maxx - a fraction of the price, but well within budget :T

    Also, got my Mum's perfume from the 25% sale in Debs. Never normally shop in there - it was PACKED! Got a bargain though, it was cheaper than even Duty Free - plus if you spent over £30 they knocked another £5 off, so I got the perfume in a box with body lotion for less than the cost of the perfume on it's own :j

    All the kid's pressies are bought now. Tomtombeanie inspired me yesterday, so I might even wrap them tonight, with a glass of wine! (after exercises of course :A)
    Right, must go and shake a leg - have a good afternoon!
