    I was impressed with myself for doing 6 months on 20 kilos but to always be under 8...........:T

    Wish I could do that!

    Hi guys,

    Well lunch time basically involved running round and trying to get some bits! Managed to get a nice sized cabin holdall for £6.99, that should hold enough for OH :D. Then went to Superdrug and got some cleansing wipes as my Nivea bottle is too big and some mini sized shampoo/conditioner. Had such a palava with getting Euros :mad:, went to get them in the post office but I wanted to pay for some of it with my Visa Debit (which I now HAVE to use as I got issues a new one!) and now the bank charge commission if you use a Visa Debit to buy currency - madness!!

    Went to Natwest with the intention of just getting the cash out but then noticed their rate was better than the PO which is quite unusual so got 500 Euros. I hope that will be absolutely plenty! By that time I had to rush back and eat my sandwich whilst making notes :rotfl:. College was soooooo boring but at least I get home nice and early, need to have a tidy so it's not a pig sty when we get back and I am going to mums tomorrow night.

    Looks like St Minver have cottoned on to us free scratchy people :(, I just went to do my daily and got a message saying you are only eligible to do the free scratch card if you have wagered £5 in the last seven days. Then it wouldn't let me change my card details to withdraw my £18.11 saying I would need to contact customer service - yeah right, so they can tell me I can't have it?! I have taken a chance and withdrawn it to my old card, that card never expired, it was just replaced with the Visa one so I am 80% hopeful it will find it's way to my account. Had an email from Quidco today and they have transferred £50.48 to my account :T.

    What a complicated day Jody!

    Glad you got things sorted eventually.

    I hope the scratchy money finds you safely.

    Only two more sleeps :)

    Oh no Jody, big hugs :grouphug:

    What did he say?

    Is he aware that he could have half of MSE on his doorstep to sort him out?!

    More hugs :grouphug:
