    Never tried Vodka and Irun Bru, must give it a go, from Monday I have to work 13 straight days without a day off, so might get a drip and get it into me that way lol (you think I'm joking)

    Forget to mention as well as working non-stop it is also Sports Relief next week and I have been forced (arms behind back) to get on an excercise bike at the front or the store for a couple of hours and take part in the 5 aside football match against our neighbouring stores. Oh well it is all for charity.
    Claimed back almost £4000 so far from HSBC for mis-sold PPI
    £2083.00 + £242.00 8% interest from FirstPlus and lower monthly premiums:D Studio Cards paid off my account and gave me £125.00 in gift vouchers. £500.00 Barclays.

    £80 spent, £420 left :eek:
    Well, I've "spent" £70 on my brother's birthday presents actually, but everyone owes me that back in cash :D And £50 on textbooks which I'm waiting to claim back for from the LEA. So £120 to add to my savings and £300 left in vouchers....
