A Payment A Day - Part 8!

Oh, and I had an MSE moment earlier this week.
Nectar emailed me about some offer or other. So logged on and I have just over 6,000 points that I had forgotten about!
So, spoke to my sister in law about my neice's Birthday, and she agreed that using some of the points to pay for her entry to Alton Towers would be a good idea! 2,000 points spent, but no money.Well, her folks will still end up paying out, which is why I spoke to her Mum about it first. I know they'll still have to pay for at least one adult to go with her etc.
Now for Amazon vouchers for my Dad's Birthday. Although, still not sure if he would use them or not. Just text Mum to see.
There is still Father's Day, brother's birthday, sister in law's birthday and, in early July, my Dad and another of my neice's Birthdays!! Phew!
But, for once, I am doing it very, very cheaply.Yay!

I've also taken advantage of that free 20 GBP bet (detailed in the newsletter) and placed a bet that South Africa will beat Uruguay today.
No idea if they will, but I'll still get the 20 GBP back so might as well go for it! If they do win, I get 62 GBP back. A profit of 42 GBP which can go towards the CC.February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
