    omg omg omg what a day!! I took my mum for lunch today to say thanks for watching the kids during hols for me. I am so skint I was praying she would only have a main course.( she did). When I came home I logged on and have won £500. Being sent recorded delivery and I should get it tomorrow. Fantastic. Going to use it to pay off my mum. I hate owing her money and although not very DFW to pay off interest free loan I dont care. Cant stop smiling woohoo :j :j

    Isn't it just. I do a daily survey on the TV programmes I watch and apparently won it in their June draw. Spoke to their office on the phone as I was dubious (as you are ) but definatley genuine.

    I need a haircut sophie's mum and I am going to give the kids a tenner each and get my mum some nice flowers. I will use the rest for debt. Bummer lol but it will reduce my debt free date by 2 months. Will be debt free in 2010 now. December right enough but hey ho it sounds like whole year earlier cos its not 2011:j .
