Wow amatheya thats brilliant -it will take me some serious practice, organisation and self control to get to that level - but one day I will achieve it!
Well it looks like I will have to do a full days work tomorrow for the first time in weeks, no rest for the wicked :rotfl:. Mind you I start a residential course next week for four weeks so all my bills (inc food and petrol) will be right down :T which is always an upside from being away from home and my moggies (even though I live 20 miles from the Centre - Lol)

Evening all - what is the scratchcard thing which quite a few people mention? Is that a common MSE thing?0

Hi Ecdub they are free scratchcards, if you do a forum search there is a guide somewhere. If you don't have any joy I'll have a look for you, but I'm not sure how to insert a link? Hope this helps
