    Well thats one birthday present sorted out.....OH has brought me New GHD 's the ltd edtion pure white ones ive been banging on about since my old ones broke! £127.99 from lookfantastic.com plus 7% cashback plus free perfume maxx something worth £25. OH paid £100 and i paid the £27. I didnt trust to buy them off ebay with fakes knocking around.

    I feel much happier now! I cant wait to have smooth hair again!:o ;) The bloke off ebay who i brought the GHD cable off of to fix my old ones said he will buy my old ones off me for £20. So really i will have only paid £7.99 for the new ones.

    Thanks, still no sign of a laptop though :(;) The cider comp is a weekly comp with 500 cases of cider to give away a week. Plenty of people on MSE have won them so far. I have been trying for weeks! hope its nice tasting.

    Right i need to get sorted all this money in and out of my account has got me confused!!

    My cashback for GHD's has tracked £8.96 so minus the £5 admin fee:( im left with £3.96, still not bad! I cant believe i forgot to go through CBK when bidding on my watch. Doh!

    I have now sold my broken GHD's to my OH's mate for £20, i told him i was sending them off to a bloke who buys them and fixes them, when he then said please!!can i buy them same price! So i wasnt gonna turn down hard cash! men straightening there hair!:rotfl:

    I cant tell how much is coming out of my account yet:confused: , So i will have to wait until 2moz to transfer money to my ISA.
