    • Today is looking alot like this:

    Good Morning all

    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!
    Spendaholic - that is rubbish about the bingo site. They should have asked before they took your money! :mad:


    My expired passport worked - and someone used my referral code so I withdrew my initial £10 -now just gotta hope for a win with the free £20!

    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.
    Another kitchen cupboard cleared and cleaned

    Must dash

    - 2 x 60 point surveys on Swagbucks and a 70p New Vista survey on TCB
    - Went to my niece's birthday armed with a present I got in the January sales reduced from £17 to £5 and she seemed to love it :)
    - Got fed at the party so only have to cook tea (from freezer)
    - Night in with some wine

    - 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
