    Well I guess it's owt for nowt a bit. Not like I'm not online a lot just now anyway what with the weather being so awful and lots have bonuses etc so I can pay those bits of the cards or save a bit for Xmas. I'll let you know. Do a few bits just now and every little helps!!!

    You get at least 80p a week from it. Not alot, but if you're like me and think owt for nowt then I'd say it's worth it.

    But... totally NOT worth it if you think you'd get addicted which is probably why they have the free scratchcard in the first place.

    Thats nothing, I've eaten 10 viennesse whirls. And the only reason I bought 2 packs was because they were half price :o I've got 2 left and could have easily eaten them but thought I'd best leave them for the morning else I'd be gutted with nothing to wake up to :o

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Bowski I kind of meant that I was a bit easily addicted rather than that I loved custard creams in particular but I see what you mean!!!

    Anyway had an NSD yesterday as bought food for Sat night in on Friday and didn't leave the shop at lunchtime. Think that might be the answer.

    Night in with the boys was fab. Had loads of wine and cider and M and S Cumberland pie and profiteroles and crisps and Thorntons chocs. OINK OINK! What fun though.

    Today I need to:
    Go into work and pick up folders
    Buy ink for printer
    Start stuff for noticeboards
    Do a wash and sort dry stuff
    Check ebay to see if my stuff has sold
    Read through stuff in work folders and prep for training session

    Have good days all X

    Happy sunday souk,

    I'm probably too late but try buying ink for printer through quidco. I spent about £28 on 2 inky things & got £3.40 back, there's plenty of different printer ink suppliers ... :)
