    Hi everyone

    I'm still around, just not been online much recently, except to work. Been in a bit of a funk, but need to pull myself out and get going again.

    After all, it's the start of April on Sunday - my favourite month of the year. It's my birthday on the 25th, Easter, my mum's birthday and I get my new car. Lots to look forward to :D.

    Not doing too well on the Amazon vouchers. Need another £15 as some of the prices went up. I've ordered one of the DVDs, so only 2 to go. I need the £15 by Wednesday at the latest really. Doesn't help that Easter is in between so there are 2 days lost delivery wise. I'm sure I can get £10 from Opinionworld (only 225 points to go) and fingers crossed I can get £5 some other way. I'll get her card from Card Factory.

    I've got £6 Luncheon vouchers, so I can get my mum a cake from Asda for £6. If I get another £3 in time, she can have one from Sainsbury's :rotfl:.

    I've still got my £25 in my purse, but I want to use that for petrol. Trying to wait for all the stupid panic-buying people to realise that the strike won't happen for at least a couple of weeks. Luckily I still have 60 miles in my tank, so should be okay until early next week.

    I hope everyone has been enjoying the lovely weather, whilst we still have it.

    Emz xx

    Hey Emz, you seem to be doing really well with all the amazon vouchers and luncheon vouchers. Can you give me your advice on the best sites to get the amazon vouchers? i used to do this bingo site where they give you vouchers when you have over a certain amount of points but then some reason i couldnt access my accounts there anymore.

    I don't know what is wrong with my body clock lately. At 6.30am, I'm just wide awake. Once I wake up, I find it really hard to go back to sleep.

    Anyway, we found a petrol station last night that wasn't too busy (took about 15 mins to get petrol) and actually had unleaded left. I was wishing that I had my diesel car, as there seems to be a few stations that have diesel only. I went a bit OTT and put £45 in. At least that will pretty much see me through until I give the car back.

    I've done a couple more surveys on Opinion World, so only 125 points to go for £10.

    Thinking ahead to May, I've got my niece's birthday which I would like to try and save £50 Amazon vouchers for and my aunt's birthday. With that, I'm going to see if I can get to 400 gold stars on Woohoo Bingo and order her a £10 Love 2 Shop voucher. I've got 315 at the moment, so hopefully I'll get there. Her birthday is 18th May and my niece's is 20th, so plenty of time.
