    Gawn yersel' Froggy,

    Well done on the MM payment. We've got so many CDs that we never listen to that it might well be worth a visit at some point to see if there's money to be made. I'm going to make time next week to bung some of the clothes that are still cluttering the spare room onto eBay. I need to make room for my skirt in the cupboard now! I'm properly impressed with your commitment to the overpayment fund. remember to keep something aside for having fun though!

    Cheers,

    Billy

    γειά σου Billy! :j

    I do recommend MM especially if its old CD's/DVD's or games.. Anything of value, I would try Ebay first.. You can get 10% cashback via Quidco or TCB too... There's no postage costs involved either..
    We still have money aside for fun..We have a couple of weekends away planned up, but most of all we have our trip to the land of "the men in skirts" in June, and we both can't wait!! :D:D:D:D

    Cheers

    Morning all! :j

    Nice tea last night up in West Yorkshire with the in laws.. Treated them last night, early for Mother's day.. As Billy says, you've got to have fun along the way..:D
    This morning will be a trip to B&Q to get all we need to spruce up the kitchen, armed with a 15% discount voucher, and will also get in store 4% cahback through Quidco.. We might stop by a couple more shops on the way back to get me a new jacket..
    Then back home for lunch, then house cleaning and cooking.. I don't think OH & I will be at home together one night next week - very busy schedules indeed..:cool:
    Last game of the table season is next Thursday, and I am hoping to win a couple of my games, so I can hit my target average for this season..
    The bathroom destruction starts on the 11th, and I can't wait.. It will be so nice to have something nice & brand new in the house..

    Hope everybody is well and having fun!

    A message to all Mummy's out there.. Happy Mother's day, you are all very special!! :A

    Yes Michelle told me about Quidco and whilst I haven't had a payout from them yet (maybe a month away) I am currently due over £300 so worth a look!
