Slowly, you must have missed loads of this thread, we had several winners in here last Thursday.

I've had no luch so far, getting a bit monotonous having to keep checking for tickets, but I will plough on and never let it be said that I gave up on the chance of tax free winnings. Anyone having any luck today?

Can't play sadly as I'm stuck in work, and have made plans for this evening too :mad: Hope to be home by around 8ish, should allow me to have a few goes at least before bed. Can't believe I made plans for this evening, I NEVER do anything on a Thursday usually

Maybe next week... Good luck everyone :cool:

edit: Logged in and 'bought' some free tickets, shouldn't be a problem doing this at work as I'm on lunch. In 5 minutes I managed to reserve tickets for 20 free games, that's 240 tickets total, and can let the machine do the dabbing for me, too easy

Nyk,

OK, today I broke the NSD run with a bang!

I took OH to work [his car died - yes, we have two cars, we live up a mountain and he works nearly 50 miles away.... ] and went into MrT's. Well, I hit reductions time big style, so ended up saving 20% [being aware of Frugalistic OCD, I shan't mention that it was 19.8122% .... ooops!]. That's ok, but I was thinking about Sophiesmum's idea and got carried away.

I now have enough Stilton for Christmas [say hello to the nice freezer!], enough local/organic Welsh Cheddar to last me for 2 months, 6 kilos of pasta, more croissants and organic/seeded/v expensive bread than you can shake a big stick at [all bagged up in 4 slice packs for the nice freezer to look after for me], a couple of treats - BOGOF Walkers big bag crisps [only 1 + 1BOGOF] I use a few of them in a ramekin, a stick of cheese and few olives on a nice plate as a "Welcome Home" treat for OH a few times a week - makes him feel appreciated and he's no idea how cheap it is :D

If anyone fancies a bargain I thought I'd better point out that Cadog Cheddar Cheese is being discontinued in our local Mr T's so it's being drastically reduced - hence 2 months' worth purchased.

I'd post the entire shopping list, but I'm too embarassed

good luck with today
DG
