    Good morning all.

    Another sunny but cold day here in Wales so hopefully get some more washing dried on the line. Got absolutely nothing planned for today so will probably hang around here looking for some more money-saving ideas. Hopefully the Mazuma cheque will clear over the next few days and I can transfer that into the ISA and with a bit of luck I'll get the Envirofone cheque through this week also.

    Am still in a quandry as to what to do about my phone. Think I'll probably keep it for a little while and then get shot of it. I must also remember over the next few weeks to contact the Halifax about adding my secured loan onto my mortgage.

    I've just been on one of those free bingo sites. Thought I was going to win a fortune. Only lost the free £10 they give you but I'm gutted.

    I did that yesterday GR. Got a tip off from the OH that a horse was a certainty to win so I put down £10 which is a lot considering I only pay £1 to play the lotto. I won £12.50 was gutted thought I'd at least get £20 lol! I've won money betting Formula One (only cos I know a lot about it) Lewis Hamilton won me £50 last year. lOL!

    The trouble is I'm bored sitting here in the house. Am thinking up all ways to increase the money in my ISA. I used to love Formula 1 in the days of Senna, Mansell and Prost (showing my age now). Absolutely loved and still love Ayrton Senna but since he got killed I've completely lost interest.

    No, I've noticed that lots of people on here are doing it but I haven't got a clue. It's a shame really because they all seem to be making a fair sum on it. Do you do it ZTD?

    I don't blame you. The Senna/Mansell/Prost days were before I got hooked! I must admit they were the real racing days now they have all the gadgets now its not fun. There's no overtaking now. Losing a driver would put me off as well

    Your right there, recent years have brought so many changes to F1 that it's no longer as competitive as it used to be. Popping over mums for lunch now, will be back in a little while
