    Thanks ladies :D

    I've had a very relaxing morning so far, just drinking coffee and entering comps/doing surveys/farting about on Facebook.

    I'm just about to get some popcorn out of the cupboard and head off to see the third Harry Potter film :o

    :j On savings and Handbag fund

    But boo sucks to roof repairs :p

    HP 3 is the one I've never seen on the big screen. Can't remember why but somehow missed it at cinema. Would love to be watching them all again on huge screen rather than on my home tv but will feel fully upto date when I get to see it at some point next weekend!

    I'm thinking about saving my vouchers up to buy a Kindle for myself as I really fancy one but can't justify the expense.

    This is how I bought mine recently and for the same reason. I love it (and really wasn't sure before I got it if I would) and I am reading more than ever!

    It's great when you buy something 'expensive' with vouchers from surveys - feels like you're getting something for nothing.:D

    Snap, I got mine the same way last year, think I spent a whole £5 on it coz I was too impatient to wait for another voucher to come through. :o

    I know mine has pretty much paid for itself already as I used to buy monthly mags to read on the train when I was out mystery shopping at near enough £5 a time, now I just download literally all the free ebooks I can and can't remember the last time I bought a mag while I was out and about. Not to mention I've massively cut down on the physical books I've bought lately too.

    You and Mags 30 have inspired me too and I've got a £15 Amazon voucher winging it's way to me. I'm going to buy all sorts with it!

    Although the last thing that I want to do is spend a weekend in a field with 80,000 p!$$sed up teenagers, watching the Foo Fighters at T in the Park on the telly is making me feel all nostalgic. I saw them there in 1996 when they released their first album.
