Kittikins, it sounds like you need to do a Marru and change jobs! Love the vegetarian chicken remark!
Right, I've signed up to the zodiac site, roll up, roll up for a winner please!

I found a reiki teacher today and had a lovely chat with her. And she can help me to get someone to look after my DD while we are on training. AND thanks to my casino and bingo winnings two new cages for my animal sanctuary are in the post for me and I have emailed my local rescue that I am waiting to adopt a nice pair of rat girls!!!!

So yes Bails, you are soooo right! Good luck with the spinning. Oh and the mousey is really cutie!

PS lunch veg sausages with chips, supper left over sausages mixed in omelet with frozen peas (we like easy Thursdays!)

I've called in the cavalry for the grand national thing, haven't a clue what matched betting means yet. I don't know how people manage to keep up on this bingo site, it is relentless. I keep finding more and more free tickets and just keep claiming them without knowing where they are going :rotfl: Lots of strange siren sounds and countdown noises coming from background right now though! :rotfl: Says 2 minutes to go and I have 12 tickets, just don't know what I am meant to do with them. Heeeeeeeeelp! :eek:

I'm a failure - my aim of having a NSD was nixed.

Me too:mad: had it all organized that I didnt need to spend any money today.
Then my dd friends mum rang suggesting going to a place where you paint pottery. I picked a milk jug and dd picked a cereal bowl, after 2 delightful hours of sponging and painting and £25 lighter we were finished. I must say it was great fun and I cant wait to see the finished pieces, we collect them in a couple of days after they have gone into the kiln to glaze them.
Roll on school tomorrow, dont even care that it is Friday and need a clean uniform for one day:T

bails in a purely frugalistic totally non PC and no emotions involved sort of evil thought....could you encourage little kitty to bring a few more stray mice in, start them breeding and voila....a constant supply of snacky type protein nibbles which would slot nicely onto a barbecue skewer

How devious is this

My sister asked me to get her some Skin so Soft from Avon to deter the mosquitos where she lives in Bulgaria.
On special offer on Avon website for £1.50 each.(bought 8)
So...bought them through Quidco and got cashback.
Found a code on MSE for free delivery and 10% off. Total profit to me £6.50
and Avon promotion.....got 4 Avon Pamper Bags(contains footworks foot cream and body puff thing in silver bag) as giving them away for every 2 Skin So Soft items bought :T :j

Where does that little lot go in the challenge Nyk ?

right, i have a plan, despite my complete ignorance... - please correct me if im horribly wrong - i went through quidco, the £30 has tracked, when i bet £25 i will get £25 back in the account 24 hours after the race.

apparently its best to wait til sat morning to pick horsies cos the ones on the list now won't all run, and if you bet on them you lose your bet money. The minimum bet is £2 so im gonna randomly do little bets on lots of horsies then. I will then completely ignore the race cos i won't have a clue, and log onto my account after to see if any money has magically appeared....

and hopefully the money back thing and quidco will go through ok and i will look like this

i dont know what matched betting is through... i thinka bit of ignorance is a good idea, will stop me getting 'into' betting! aka i cant be bothered to read up on it :rolleyes:

Bonuses, freebies and vouchers get used as part of the gift budget for me, then I just MIGHT have cash left over at the end of the year from my 4k and this will be for MEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

Back again - I finished reading the entire free bingo thread here and managed to leave it playing tonight to win a grand total of zero over 20 games. Must remember to set it off playing next Thursday if it's free. Nothing to lose, I guess

Hi Gang
My internet went down yesterday and I spent the whole evening unable to log on:eek: So relieved it is working again this morning:D

Bails Hope the little mousie is doing okay.

Lots of gambling talk going on, still haven't done the free bingo thing but may have a go at the weeekend. If you can get your head round it matched betting is the way to go - no risk whatsoever. I made about £500 last year when I had a bash at it, and will be doing some more soon for my £10 a day challenge.It can be time consuming though and you do need to have a stash of cash in the bank to use.

Nyk, have been pondering the interest beater challenge. Just trying to decide the best place to put my challenge money once I earn it,ISA already full so may buy premium bonds - won't make any more interest but may have a little win. Apart from tax paying interest savings accounts where else could we shove the cash to maximise our earnings?? Any suggestions anyone??

Good morning everyone.
I have just recieved an email from an american group I belong to and there was a pdf file of the instructions for building the bottle greenhouse (yes the one in Scotland) it has photos too.
I have no idea how to send it to you if you want it other than an email attatchment or uploading it to sendspace and sending the link somehow.
Help please.
