If memory serves me right Take a break do free scratch cards, but they did change it, as you could build upto £10.10, withdraw the £10 and start all over, but they changed it to you have to spend the money eventually.

Apologies if its changed since I did it. xx

I do Littlewoods Bingo but you have to watch which ones you sign up for as some are run by the same company and they wont let you do them on more than one, I think some people on here a while ago were having their accounts closed because of this.

I will have to look into Jackpot Joy when I have paid for my sewing machine.

Well I've had a little bit of a shop today - nothing for anyone else or any presents though, oops! Did spend some money in Boots though, so some points there - so not too bad I guess!

Bloke rang to say sewing machine will be £60 to have it mended. On top of that some yobs have smashed OH's car window this afternoon and we have to pay another £60 out in excess payment to get that fixed tomorrow. Looks like I had better get stuck in with the daily clicks again.

OMG rufus, thats terrible!
Glad to hear everyone was so spoilt yesterday . I got a bunch of lillies (they smell gorgous!!), a me to you ornament that is soooo cute (I have a huge collection of me to you things, I love them!), some chocolates, and we went for a meal and to the cinema tonight (couldnt face the crowds yesterday lol). It would have been perfect if it wasnt for she who shall not be named (MIL) plus FIL and BIL coming to visit... god I dispise the woman (she thinks im evil cos her darling son moved to Bradford to live with me!!!!!
Done nothing money saving, I'm doing terribly this last week, but at least I saved/made alot in the 1st week .

Good news - (we hope) the dentist filled the tooth where the filling fell out, and the side he fixed last week playing up, but he thinks its an infection in the nerve........ more antibiotics.

DD is having her sleepover.... between 3 and 4pm we'd gone through 5 dvds, I don't like that, its boring, its scary....

mnanaged tea - no problems......

Then spent 2 1/2hrs crafting........ we made mini memo box for mothers day, decorated peg with wrapping paper and little charm, then a set of different post it notes, (but they were swanky lady (pack of 4 - 39p Home bargains), and I brought 4 of the asda smart price note books, the kids loved it.

packed them off upstairs at 8.30 to watch a dvd, dds dvd player wouldn't work, mines just collecting dust, (got to get it retuned in.... eventually), eventaully got it running though the computer, so funny, got no speakers, the poor kids were literally hanging on to the end of the bed, trying to watch enchanted. Turned it off at 10.15........ they've been downstairs 4 times, can't sleep, need a drink, too hot - take the dressing gown off - no I need to sleep in dressing gown...
So caught up with the net, done bit of OU work, and now off to hit the bed, I'm in dds bedroom 2ngt...... fingers crossed don't get disturbed...

would of opened bottle of wine for relaxing purposes, but the new antibiotics I can't drink.....on them for 10 days.

Sounds mad, but why when you can't drink, u want one, the rest of the time it doesn't even cross my mind....... guess thats life! xx
