Spendaholic - make some time to relax, hope you're feeling better than yesterday and boo to bingo sites, could you not ring them with confirmation?
Thank you for remembering - I sometimes wonder if anyone actually reads my ramblings lol...and I'm feeling quite a bit better today, thank you!OrangeFairy wrote: »Spendaholic - that is rubbish about the bingo site. They should have asked before they took your money! :mad:

Good evening one and all
I'm so late today, Saturdays just whizz past!
I still haven't got the heating on this is the third day running that I've managed to wait until dark.
The list so far- Housework done, including floor washing, which I hate with a passion!
- All meals from stores, including tonight's meal for us which includes homemade naan bread and butternut squash and chickpea curry
- Homemade carrot and coriander soup made from my horse's carrots - what they don't know they won't grieve over!
- Washing done on 30 degrees and now draped over airer waiting for the heating.

- Wannabe01 if you're looking into Giffgaff it's best if you get a referral from someone who is already with Giffgaff, that way you'll get £5 credit added to your SIM and the referrer gets £5 too. Otherwise you will have to add credit. If you're not already aware and haven't someone in mind let me know as i'm on Giffgaff. HTH#39 - Save £12k in 20250
