Sorry, I assumed that we all do the FPL - Free Postcode Lottery. Register your postcode and email, then check Stackpot at 9am and 9pm, also the main draw at 12 noon plus video draw and survey draw.

Flash Draw is a new thing - you can't find it, it has to find you, a bit like the flamedeer, except this is a superhero type of character that appears on the page.

My first win since joining in 2013... I have nearly £20 in bonus now at about 5p a day, so you can tell how long it is... it used to be 1p a day in the beginning...

Well done Seren :T I thought we all signed up when David dot told us about it. I signed up to FPL and the FreeBirthday thingy, won £10 on that. Of course that closed down so Chris could concentrate on FPL, he has done well over recent years

I'm way back because weve got visitors staying tonight and not had a chance to keep up. Will battle through though.

Hope today has been a good one for everyone. See you tomorrow xx

2 word texts - you are very lucky.

but my gang still love me this week so Christmas and New Year must have been satisfactory - eldest child rang us for a resume yesterday and then shared a funny vid on FB this morning. We had a message from eldest son and his GF sent us a pic of him on a freezing cold beach dressed as Nanook of the North but minus the fish spear, Errant son put a thank you message and a pic on FB of his and hers Christmas gifts and he liked the photo i put on FB of ducks on a frozen lake ...
They all go back to work tommorow so I suppose it will all go quiet again for a few weeks ...

Well that all sounds very promising, mhoc.

Actually yes, I really should be more grateful for the two word texts - they simply say 'thanks mum.'

It's the longer ones that start 'Can you do me a favour' that are the really worrying ones...

it took so long for my HSBC account to finally open I lost interest in the end - might use it as a switch account for Halifax eventually ...

Marks are also annoyong me - now 5 weeks sine they sent OH a form to complete his application for a Cc card - we sent off the signature form which was then lost so they sent another one which was supposed to be followed up by the card and pin number ... nothing has arrived, have to ring them tommorow ...

Evening mad squad,

I bought a really expensive (for me) hat today from debenhams, it cost the princely sum of £12.50 :eek:, it's a black knitted look type hat with a twist, it's got built in blue tooth speakers and mic , it's really warm and sounds pretty good too, just took the dogs out for a walk and listened to some tunes, if you like gadget hats :cool: I would recommend it original price £25 :eek::eek:
