    Oooh and has everyone seen this week's MSE newsletter thing already? You can get a free £5 to spend on a gift card website (think funky pigeon/moonpig without the irritating theme tune) so have ordered my Mother's Day card off there and saved some pennies!!

    oooo tyvm, just ordered DH's mums card (mine only liesround the corner so no excuse not to give hers to her in person :cool:)

    I've deleted my weight loss tracker from my signature - it wasn't going down fast enough and was depressing me :rotfl: Will be weighing myself later tonight though and starting all over again!!

    My mum doesn't live too far away but chances are I'll do the same thing I do every other year and completely forget about Mother's Day all together until the day before when I happen to be in a shop with banners everywhere thinking "Oops..!" :D

    Lol I think there's only me in our family that's ever on time (or early!) with them - my sister has pretty much given up buying them and my mum normally gives out presents about 6 months after they're due :D

    Well I'm having pizza tonight. I just signed up to the bingo to get the cashback, played my £10 stake and got my £20 bonus, ended up withdrawing £92.40. Not bad for 15mins work :D so even if the cashback doesn't work I'm £82.40 up

    Thanks Eddie, oh and in no way do I think gambling is ok. I bet my stake then withdrew and didn't continue after I'd met the requirements :)
