I'm so happy that it's a 3 day week for me this week and next week too! I'm off Thursday this week until Wednesday next week and I'm soooooo looking forward to the break... Got to finish Month End first though!

Morning all,

Havent been posting for ages as I have been a bit down in the dumps debt busting wise but I feel a bit better now. Managed to get my Virgin CC under £1500 which is brilliant and the best its been in a year. Cant wait for it to be all gone - will update my totals later when Virgin online updates.

We have loads of snow here - the trudge to school was lovely this morning, especially as its a 3 mile round trip - have to do it all again later. I love snow when it first falls, but I hate it when it turns to slush and mush.

Ok it's time for me to think about panicking now.... I've been signed off for another 2 weeks, with 2 lots of antibiotics. If my ear still isn't improving by then, it's time for a referral to ENT at the hospital. Trouble is, I get 90 days sick at full pay (which is still not great) and then I go on to statutory.... which will completely screw me over!

I've been off since 21st December (plus a week in May) but not sure if my days off count?

ETA: I think I'm not even half way if my days off don't count? (I do 6 days on 3 days off)

Do you have kids psychopathbabble? if so its worth looking on the turn2us website to see if your tax creidts will increase if/when you go onto statutory sick, plus if you'll be entitled to any other help.

Congrats iris
Jemma how did HSBC go?
HelenPie nice one on the bingo, there's a few I haven't tried there yet, but let me know how they track
Well done to everyone on the payments :-)

Tracked so far (though not confirmed) are:
Heart games (Qu1dc0): £15 (for £10 deposit, and if you use me as your friend when you register (same username - helenpie), we each get another £10 once you've spent £10, and this doesn't have to be played - can withdraw straight away :T)
Mecca bingo (Qu1dc0): £15 for £15 deposit and if you play the £15 on bingo games, you get another £15 to spend on anything. I did this on a certain game based on a popluar tv show...min stake of 50p but the 'banker' made an offer of more than that on the first round almost every time. Took back £14.10 :cool:
Tombola (TCB): £20.20 for £10 deposit. Best odds of winning something (i.e. fewest players ) was "Bandit", i found.

Will update as and when others track.

In total I have £147 of winnings (profit after deposits), and £368 if all cash back comes through. :j
