    i might wait until it is in my bank as i am getting a bit confused on where money is and stuff now.
    i was thinking i might pay the £84 off my debt as another lump sum but as it is a debt that i get no interest charged on ishould put it in a saver.
    anyone got a good savings account i have the one through quidco with hsbc apparently it is crap interest so i need to change.
    looked through standing orders adn statments today and i have a payment for £8.60 to unat i think it is life insurance. i am going to look at it this week because if it was for my morgage that i haven't got i need to cancel it. if is is a life policy that i get a payout if i don;t die i have had it 10 years so i maybe due something?? either way i need to find out.
    i am going to start doing topcashback for money for christmas, i don;t mind daily clicks it is money for nothing but you need a lot of patients.

    Thanks Hayley re: the coke and crisps.

    I have just printed out 2 vouchers for 1/2 price tickets to chessington. My sister has now said she is not sure if she will be able to drive as her MOT might be due. My brother then said he isnt going if we go by train! :rolleyes:

    Checked train fares and its £10.30 return, and we dont have to pay for my nephew.

    Will see what happens.

    Will deffo get some coke tomorrow Hayley, see if i can get some cinema tickets!

    hope its something you are due some money back on.
    not sure on savings, I've got the same one as you but there's nothing in it! I'm sure there is a thread on here about savings perhaps they will have some advice.

    Thanks MM. The scary thing is i'm getting addicted to betting now, i only bet small, but just worked out if i had bet the £20 i was going to bet on tonights game, i would of got back £72 back - gutted. I've not lost any money yet since starting to bet, i'm up £22.34, but still, its becoming addictive. Thats not a good thing when trying to become debt free.

    Amy: thats a shame about Chessington, well i hope you guys can go, you'll have great fun. I've not been to a theme parks in years, last time i went on rides was in America 4 years ago - however, i would like to try and go Alton Towers this year if i can get cheap tickets, no way paying £30 to get in.

    Can't you get cheap trickets through tesco vouchers? you can for drayton manor. I think it's £6.75 worth of tesco vouchers is enough for one admission in the tesco deals
