    Wooohooooo! the £200 target has just got off to a flyer!!! :D I just won full house on the free bingo! Thats £50 in my pocket!! :D:D:D Will wait until that has hit my account and make the use of the free £25 willhill bet that I joined up for today. and therefore hopefully will start the snowball!!!

    So, in terms of the list...

    1) Clean car... Nope!!! but I did have a wonderful most-of-the-day with my sister and sprout 2 (youngest niece) sis and i had a very very deep and meaningful in which i had my asse squarely booted by her. Certainly opened my eyes up to a few things i must say!!
    2) Place a small matched bet. Nearly but not quite on that one. Have signed up to a willhill £25 SNR. need to wait for bingo money to be able to place. was going to do it for a fiver but would be better to wait and utilise the full £25.
    3) re-investigate bingo scratchies.... Check!!! have reminded myself of what i need to do. again will use £10 out of the £50 to reactivate these.
    4) Put 6 items on ebay.. EPIC fail :( Must try harder!!!!
    5) Check banking.. Aye, no nasty surprises there
    6) Amend signature.. DONE!!! :D

    So a bit of a mixed bag half acheived kinda day there.


    I've just thought of a new challenge. How big can i grow my £50 free money????? :D if i use it for MBing and for scratchies etc i should be able to get it big big big!!! watch the sig for update!! :D

    Hi Pania, i'd wondered where you'd got to.
    Welcome home.

    Can't say i'm one of the wonderbra army, but i'm backing you all the way.

    Have you looked at tarting your cards as well as the MB?

    Good to see you back.

    Hiya George and thanks for your post!! likewise nelmer and babyhead!! and thanks for your support. it means a lot. :D glad you liked the legend, kinda rings true doesnt it!!

    Sadly george tarting is still a no go with my credit history the way it currently is. I have been accepted a few months back for a vanquis card which is going somewa to improving my rating. I think my first defaults drop off at the end of may!! :J
    Well the car is finally cleaned inside and out and looking spotless and immaculate! :D more updates later but first i have to face the long drive home. :(
