I am in a lottery syndicate in work and we had 5 numbers recently!! Think it was only about £2000 between 15 of us but will be a nice sum when paid out. If only we'd got that 6th number!

Brill. beats my £2.90:rotfl:

Thanks all, we are going to share it out at Christmas so hopefully have topped it up a little by then aswell. The reason we started was because the dept next door won £180,000 before Christmas last year! (I wasn't part of that one!)

Went out for a meal with school friends last night, the food was AMAZING and worth every penny of the £25 I spent.

Day off today so going to try and get some more baby clothes sorted and make a list of what I still need. Also need to pack my hospital birth now that will be where the baby is born! Am still debating using reusable nappies, but will use disposables to begin with!

Got 2 items listed on ebay so hoping they will sell aswell.

Hoping to avoid taking iron tablets (they really don't agree with me) so might try spatone or try and increase with diet (but not sure that will be effective!). I know I am likely to lose a fair bit of blood in delivery if baby big (I did on DD) and wouldn't want a transfusion as I am a blood donor. At least the 'you look pale' comments are well justified!

Bump is getting big, I don't remember being this big on DD and am 29 weeks tomorrow so lots of time to get bigger!

Few surveys completed today. Think I am up to 865 points on GTM so if I get a few surveys this week I might just reach payout!

The £50 M&S vouchers from my kitchen quote arrived the other day but I am wondering whether to keep them for Christmas.

Did a big food shop, basic food supplies have become sooooo expensive!

I've given up on the surveys , they were starting to drain me lol.

The OH and I were talking about the food bills and how they seem to be rocketing these days. Worst thing is there is nothing we can do about it, we have to do eat after all.

We now aim for £60 a week for a weekly shop but its actually more like £80.

I have been thinking the same thing. If I go for a big shop its around £35 (normally £25) and a top up is about £20 (used to be about £10 max) I think I have to let go of my 'old figures' cause I just can't achieve that anymore.

Glad your vouchers turned up. I always keep my mands ones, they are so useful for presents etc.

CathT

You both do well to have those food budgets. We shop carefully and use own brands etc but we can't help costs spiralling!

I'm a bit tired after work today, I am finding that my back starts to ache towards the end. Luckily DH is home today so I can relax a bit.

Where are the Onepoll surveys?????

Have an item ending on ebay this evening but so far only 2 watchers and no bids! Have given a colleague on my unit a huuuuge bag of girls clothes, it's nice to see them to go to a good home and I'm sure her baby girl will make good use of them.

Have a pram to sell but I think I will probably end up putting it on freecycle. Would be nice to get a little bit for it though. Not sure ebay is worth it as it would be collection only.

Little*Miss

Hey Cath hope work was ok today.

Well done for listing things on ebay I dunno why but I'm so rubbish with ebay I know what it is really it's lazyness thats all it is.
It may be worth listing the pram on a free listing weekend or something?

One poll is a bit rubbish now I find and it's really slow on my computer!

Anyway good luck with the money saving will keep poping in!
