What Would YOU Do with £85 Million??

I'm back, did you miss me?

I've been offline for quite a while after developing connection problems with my Freeserve (Wanadoo/Orange) service. It has been sooo frustrating, but never mind, it's all behind me now.

And guess what, I'm excited again!

Can YOU imagine winning a share of this week's £85 Million GUARANTEED EuroMillions jackpot!

Of course you can, with that kind of money, who can't! I wonder what you would do with it?

BUT, this could be the LAST BIG EuroMillions draw of the year., and I'm sure you wouldn't want to MISS OUT.

There is a GUARANTEED jackpot of £85 Million and by playing in an e-lottery syndicate you can increase your chances of scooping a major jackpot share by 36 times.

We use a unique number system that covers all possible combinations of Lucky Star numbers, so they are guaranteed to be matched! By playing this way, you get significantly increased chances of winning!

Yes, that means you already have the 2 star numbers covered!

You can play easily and simply online now!

So why not get your syndicate space today, ready for the draw on Friday, 18th September 2009.

It's a HUGE game! Syndicate spaces are offered on a first-come first-served basis. The deadline for entry is 6pm on Friday.

Even if you're already playing, why not join a syndicate to increase your chances even more?

You can choose your numbers here!

Be Smart not just lucky.

I've Done It Again!

Yes, more great savings on my home insurance, and all because I shopped around, using the comparison websites, and then when I'd found the best deal for my circumstances, I logged out of LV (Liverpool Victoria) and entered their site again through my cashback site - making mega savings on what was already a good deal!

So, after the cashback, I now have full cover for buildings AND contents for just less than £100.

Sorry for a boring post, but it really excites me! lol. Is there any hope left for me? Perhaps I need to get another life? Now whose should I chose?

Maybe someone famous with lots of dosh? How about Madonna?

Well maybe not. She isn't in a happy relationship or happy marriage. Nor is she happy with herself - just look at her body - she must be constantly working out or in the gym trying to turn back time.

Maybe in another 10 years she'll realise that what she was born with is OK. What's a perfect body anyway? I bet even Angelina Jolie hates something about herself - that's what most women do! Are we stupid or what? Most of us 'brush up' quite nicely with a bit of lipstick and decent clothes, so we should learn to be happy with what we see in the mirror.

And it must be awful having the media constantly following you, taking pics and then writing daft newspaper articles. What price fame?

So I think I'll stick to being little old me, who enjoys being Just Jill; working from home PT with her elottery biz, and being happy that she has saved a few quid on her home insurance - lol.

And I don't think any celebrity would ever experience the satisfaction of shopping around and getting a good deal, or being able to go out without someone following and taking photos of you not looking your best. But I suppose it goes with the territory.

Guess what, it's the weekend again, so where's that bottle of wine?

Are YOU Making This Big Mistake?

I hope not! If you follow me on my blog, you'll already know that I am a great believer in getting discounts on goods and services without sacrificing quality.

The best way to do that online, is by using the comparison websites and them combining the result with a cashback site. It works everytime, and I've saved £££s on all sorts of things, the biggest savings being on insurance. My home insurance is due very soon, so I'll be at it again next week - lol - so watch this space.

In my opinion, the best UK & USA cashback site is ei42.

I always look forward to their newsletters. Yesterday's was very interesting; all about how so many people DO make mistakes by thinking they are getting the biggest savings by using the comparison sites and nothing else.

Here's a synopsis; I make no apologies for the length because it's important that people understand the difference. It is written by Steve, MD of ei42.

Over the weekend I went to a barbecue at a friend’s house, naturally this person is a member of Ei42 and has been for over a year. He’s just bought himself a very nice expensive new car and he was happily telling me how he got the best deal ever by using “Compare the Market.com”, nothing surprises me anymore so I simply asked him “what makes you think you got the best deal” his answer was that he had gone to compare the market and that they had shown him a list of deals and the difference between the most expensive and the cheapest was £160 and so he had jumped to the rather illogical conclusion that he had “saved” £160.

This is typical of what advertisers are trying to get us all to believe every time we see or hear an advertisement. The fact is there are lies, damn lies and statistics and this kind of conclusion jumping is proof that a mix of those together with a natural desire for a bargain means that we often jump to the wrong conclusion. My friend was wrong for a number of reasons. Firstly, he was not comparing like with like. If you went to Harrods and bought a Jar of Jam do you suppose it would be more expensive than Tesco own brand? Of course it would! So if Jam from Harrods cost £4.00 and jam from Tesco was 50p, have you saved £3.50? of course you haven’t, because you would not have bought Jam for £4.00 in the first place.

Do you suppose that Comparison sites are more interested in saving you money than making a profit?

How can so many comparison websites afford to spend Millions of pounds on TV advertising unless they are making HUGE profits?

How can they be making so much money?

The answer to this question is that they FOCUS on comparing products that will make them big commissions, Insurance, Mortgages, Loans, Credit Cards, Travel, Gas & Electricity, anything else is irrelevant to them. More importantly nothing is unique to these comparison websites. They ALL have the same products and services from the same people that you will find on Ei42 and so there is no way that you can get a better deal from a comparison website than you do from Ei42 when comparing like for like. Let me repeat that...

There is no way that you can get a better deal from a comparison website than you can get from Ei42

Here is why, let’s say you go to compare the market and find a great deal for your Car Insurance like my friend did with “Swinton Insurance” he used Compare The Market to order his policy from Swinton and Compare the Market kept ALL of the commission. If he had used his Ei42 shop to buy the same insurance then he would have got a rebate of £18.00 in effect making his insurance £18.00 cheaper than buying via Compare the Market.

All of this is not rocket science but it does require you all to look at the broader picture. As my old Granny used to say “if you look after the pennies the pounds will look after themselves” and all you have to do to make those pennies add up is to always use your Ei42 shop when you buy anything online.

How to Compare the Market and buy via your Ei42 shop

Let’s say you have just looked for the best deal on car insurance on one of the comparison websites and identified that Swinton have a great deal for you. Did you know that you can still buy that product or service via Ei42 and get a commission? Here’s how...

1. Identify the Product or service. In our example it is “Swinton Insurance”
2. Close your web browser completely. (not just the Tab)
3. Restart your web browser and go to your Ei42 shop
4. Search for the retailer or supplier. In our example it’s “Swinton Insurance”
5. Buy the product or service

Simple.....

Please note that not all products and services generate a commission but you have nothing to lose by trying. If there is a commission due you will automatically receive it and NOT the comparison website that you might have used.

That’s all for this week.

I wish you continued success with Ei42

Best Regards

The Birthday Girl is Back

What a week, and what a brilliant birthday weekend!

It's hard to believe that this time last week we were registering at the Newport Bay Club reception desk.

It's a lovely hotel, with excellent service and well trained staff - highly recommended.

Our spacious bedroom had a very comfortable queen-sized bed, and French windows opening up into the garden, overlooking the lake. It was truly magical, just right for us.

Friday night found us in the main Disneyland Park. We were pleased that the queues were very short, so managed a cruise on both Pirates of the Caribbean and It's A Small World and still had plenty of time left to enjoy the evening parade, fireworks and of course some good French food and wine.

It brought back fond memories of 1994, the last time we were there with my brother's young family. We had to keep going on It's A Small World with our 6 year old nephew because he was completely enchanted by it. Anyone who has been there will know how the music just sticks in your mind!

A bit like 'I know a song that gets on your nerves!' Sorry - lol

I spent my birthday enjoying the Walt Disney Studios and all the goodies on offer - I even got a birthday kiss from Mickey - even though he was a little shy. Then another lovely meal and relaxing hotel evening to follow.

Sunday saw us back in Disneyland where we had a marathon day doing all sorts of good things - again very small queues - so it was perfect.

I walked my socks off, and didn't my body know about it! My only purchase was a packet of plasters for my poor feet and toes - only just getting better now - almost a week later.

Monday was going home time, so we spent the morning limping around the lake and enjoying a leisurely lunch on the hotel patio. It's amazing what a nice bottle of wine can do to relieve pain - lol

And here we are home again and getting back to normality - whatever that is - and guess what, it's the weekend again, so time for another little break. Also time to start looking for decent timed Malaga flights for our Sept/Oct break, that might well be the next time we see any sunshine. Whatever happened to our promised summer here?

Oh, nearly forgot! I had some lovely cash presents over at the Birthday Bonus Club, so if you havn't joined yet, go and have a look here - it's really exciting.

Well, tonight sees yet another mega EuroMillions rollover jackpot - this time it's £49million, so if you're not yet in it, why not try your luck with 36 lines for only a fiver? You never know your luck and the two star balls are already guaranteed! Now what part of the world shall I book for with my winnings - teehee!

Have a great weekend

I'm Almost There!

Today's the day - the day that we fly off to Paris for EuroDisney and my BIG birthday on Sat - yippeeee - can hardly wait!

Bags will be packed this afternoon; travel docs and euros are already at hand, so that just leaves me to be parcelled up, pointed towards the door and driven to the airport around 6pm.

I'm really looking forward to staying at the Newport Bay Hotel - a bit of luxury in the evening with good food and wine - and a lot of fun in the day in the theme parks. I've never been to the Walt Disney Studios before, so that's something else to look forward to.

Can't believe I'm going to wake up on 11th as a pensioner - lol - where did all those years go? I remember wondering at 30 what I would be like at 60 - well I'll soon know, and I don't think I'll feel any different, except maybe more content in my life, and very sure of who I am.

In fact, at 30 I wasn't even sure if I liked myself - sounds crazy - but I now know for sure that although far from perfect, I'm more than just an OK person, so I'm very happy to be ME! I like being Just Jill, and I love doing what I do.

I'm fortunate too in my choice of work; starting with the elottery was one of my better moves. It allowed me to leave the bank, has given me the opportunity to choose what I do on a daily basis, and pays me on time every 4 weeks.

I've also made many friends around the world, something I could never have done when I was working. Plus it's great fun; and you never know, because of the brilliant unique syndicate system, we could even have a big jackpot win! We've had loads of smaller wins, but because we only need to match 5 balls and not 6, the jackpot is much more winnable!

Anyone who is open to considering a PT business opportunity should look no further. I'd be happy to explain it.

Well that's it for today from this 59 yr old, I still have a few things to finish before I start packing for Paris.

Mickey doesn't have a clue what's coming his way - lol - I wonder if he will join me for breakfast on Saturday?

Have You Seen What Happens On Saturday?

Can you believe that another month has flown by? Here we are in July and it only seems like last week that we said hello to June!

I wonder what lovely things this month will bring? As it's my BIG birthday on 11th, I'm hoping it will be extra special. I'm really looking forward to Disney next week. But before that, there's a rather special event taking place on 4th!

Did you know it's the massive
Sorteo Extraordinario on Sat? The 'San Ildefonso' draw that happens once a year and I bet you've never even heard of it - lol - I only found out about it quite recently.

It's a Spanish institution, a time when whole families buy lottery tickets and crowd around the TV in hopes of winning the 'big one'. And it’s a very big one indeed – a GUARANTEED jackpot of 140 million Euros! In the past it’s been nigh on impossible for anyone outside of Spain to buy a ticket for this amazing prize, but the brilliant elottery system has pulled a few strings and you can now stake your claim on this life-changing jackpot.

So, could a lottery win change your life?

Do you dream of winning the big one every time you purchase your lottery ticket? This is a great way of boosting your winnings with a system that always puts the odds in your favour!

Buy your tickets today to change your life!

The draw takes place on July 4th, but don’t delay! This is different to other draws where you can get in right up to the last minute. With this one, there are a fixed number of tickets available and they sell out very quickly. Once they’re gone, so is your chance of being 140 million Euros richer! Elottery syndicates improve your chance of winning by giving you access to 10 tickets, each with a chance of winning up to eight times.

With 80 chances to win, you are GUARANTEED to share at least one cash prize in this draw!

Enter now, before it’s too late!

No more tickets will be created once these have sold out, and with the assurance of 140 million Euros being given away, they’re selling like hot cakes. Entering literally takes a couple of minutes, but it could change the rest of your life. So why not enter now before it's too late?

Now what am I going to do with all that cash - what a lovely problem to have!

The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow!

Yes, another weekend is upon us, and it looks like we might get some sunshine up here in the N.West - at last!

It's maddening when you see the UK weather forecasts, and almost everywhere is promised sunshine with figures well into the 20s, and then you see the grey rain clouds expected over the NW. It happens time and time again, but this time it's looking good. Today is cold and breezy so hopefully there'll be a little magic overnight, and we'll wake up to a lovely summer's day.

Don't think I'll be dusting the cobwebs off the BBQ yet though. Why? Because I don't like the rules!

BBQ Rules
We are about to enter the BBQ season, so here's a little reminder on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity, as it's the only type of cooking a 'real' man will do, probably because there is an element of danger involved.

When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

Here comes the important part:
(4) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

More routine....
(5) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(6) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is burning. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he deals with the situation.

Important again:
(7) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

More routine....
(8) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(9) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.

And most important of all:
(10) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(11) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed "her night off." And, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women....

Sooo, although I enjoy eating outdoors, I'll just cook in my kitchen and take it outside! Have a wonderful weekend.

A Brilliant End To The Week

What a good week, and what a nice ending too.

Guess what, my car insurance is due next week so I shopped around for a better deal and ended up getting £80 cashback plus free legal protection and roadside assistance!

Now that's what I call a good deal.

It's all because I used the comparison websites to find my requirements at their best prices - and then, when I'd narrowed it down to a handful, I went into my cash back site, found the same companies in there, compared prices again and then bought the best deal! Easy peasey

My house insurance is due in July, so I'll be doing exactly the same again then.

Well after all that hard work, I think I deserve a little rest and maybe a treat! Wonder what I'll have - clink clink - teehee

So have a great weekend - I wonder what goodies next week will bring? Maybe I'll share a big win in tonight's £50million EuroMillions rollover -that would be lovely.

Cheers

A Great Way To Save Money

I just love a bargain - so does my mum - so maybe there's an unknown hereditary 'bag a bargain' gene still waiting to be discovered; or maybe it's because we're all wise old birds who know a good thing when they see it - OMG there's that 'old' word cropping up again - lol

I discovered cashback sites a long time ago; and they are brilliant. I wouldn't dream of buying anything online unless it was well-priced plus offers cash back too ; but none can beat this one!

Why? Because not only is it using well known retailers and top brands in both UK & USA, and of course gives cashback on your purchases, it also has a fantastic tell-a-friend feature where they can get cashback too, and YOU get a thank you for recommending it, in the form of extra dosh - how good is that?

I've had excellent personal cashback payments on all my insurances, stationery, printer ink, electrical goods, garden accessories, DVDs, CDs, books. You name it, and you can buy it with a good discount plus cash back!

Another thing I really like about it, is that it is completely free to use and always will be.

It's also a great way for fundraising groups and charities to bring in some extra funding, so if you know anyone, no matter how small the group, they really need to know about this.

If you havn't registered for your free site yet, then you can do it with me here

Must go now, it's time to go find a new 'love seat' for my lovely garden.

Happy shopping

Look Out Mickey - I'm On My Way!

Guess what I've done?

I've booked another little holiday - and this time it's all about ME! I'm usually so busy doing these things for others, that it's really great to have sorted something out for little old me!

Oh dear, did I really say old? Is that what's going to happen on July 11th? Will hitting 60 suddenly make me decrepit? I still can't believe that it is really me in the mirror, or that the mature lady in the shop window isn't my mother - or even my father - where will it end.

And my best buy last month was a 'hair crayon', supposedly to help disguise my grey roots! Last time I crayoned, I was about 7, and that doesn't seem so long ago.

There's been loads of mail this month from pension companies, pension departments and the tax office, all enclosing forms to be read, signed and returned - with the help of reading glasses of course - and even life insurance companies touting for my business. No sign of a funeral plan yet! They can go and take a running jump.

But back to Mickey and July. I've booked a few days at DisneyParis, and I'm getting excited! We last went 15 years ago when it first opened. It was April and it rained most of the time but we still enjoyed it; and of course now there will be loads of new things to see, plus the sun could be shining too.

I've booked the Disney Newport Bay hotel. It's a nautical theme; and as Iain is an ex sailor, he will just love it too. Hope we don't have to keep saluting, and hope we're not in hammocks! I wouldn't mind splicing the mainbrace with a daily tot of rum though.

I'd always wondered why Disney chose N.France for their European site, and not Spain. Afterall, the weather is important and Spain is a much better bet for sunshine. I got chatting to a nice guy on skype last week. He is a theme park consultant, and he told me that is was all about the money - so nothing changes does it!. Apparently, alledgedly France gave Disney the land for free. Don't know if he is right, but it kind of rings a bit true...

We're both really looking forward to it, and it's only 6 weeks away! Only 6 more weeks of not being a pensioner - lol - better start practising soon! When I start saying 'In MY day....' or 'Do I know you...? ' or even worse; 'Who am I?', you'll know there's no hope left for me.

But until then, move over Minnie, Jilly's back in town, and girls just want to have fun.

Thought for the day:

Don't put off until tomorrow, the things you could have sorted out today - you'll feel good and be very glad that you did them

Have You Seen What We've Done Now!

I can't stop grinning from ear to ear - and my jaw has started to ache too - lol

And it's all because of what has happened with my wonderful biz this week.

It was always a snip at £9.99 p.a. Yes, it really did only cost such a small amount to set up and get started - crazy I know, especially when you think what you got for your investment.

But now (and I think someone's been on the happy pills) VWD have made it completely free - with no hidden fees or upgrade costs!

I am still finding it hard to believe that this incredible business, plus all the extra professional marketing tools and other support systems, can now be started at ZERO cost!

It's amazing, plus they will soon be giving away free Golden Tickets that will be entered into monthly draws for valuable prizes - with a car at Christmas.

Also. there's a new web 2.0 viral networking page that will build the business for anyone who has the sense to make use of it.

It just keeps getting better and better, where will it all end?

Probably with me suing the company for permanent damage to my jaw bone - must google 'compensation for making me too happy' and see what pops up! Teehee.

Have a great weekend

Probably The Deadliest Virus Of All Time

Sorry guys, but we can all do with a good laugh sometimes - enjoy - it made me laugh out loud - hope it does the same for you!

Can You Believe It?

Yes, it's the weekend again, and wow, what a fun two days.

Not only do we have a HUGE EuroMillions rollover jackpot tonight, it's followed by the UK draw on Saturday plus the MEGA monthly Spanish draw too.

What a load of dosh!

And we're out and about still celebrating Iain's birthday!

Can you believe that the
EuroMillions is a massive 124million euros - £110million - and that the Spanish Superdraw is an amazing 84Million euros - £75Million - wow!

It makes the UK £5million sound like peanuts - lol

I love the way our clever syndicated system puts the odds in our favour.

Did you know that it automatically guarantees that the 2 star balls are covered in the EuroMillions, leaving us with only 5 balls to match instead of the usual 7?
Here's a demo.

And the Spanish draw actually guarantees at least 3 cash wins for every player; and that's in addition to having a major share in 10 decimos.

Why people buy their tickets in other ways beats me, but it's probably because they don't know about elottery, and the way it gives everyone far better chances of winning plus multi-wins when they do win.

Even if people were in a private offline syndicate, they still couldn't win as much, or have more chances than if they were in elottery - even after the shareout!

Here's where you can get free results by email

Yes, Iain's birthday continues; we're off to Chester on Sunday for a birthday lunch with good friends who couldn't make it down to Marbella. Can't think of a nicer way to spend a day. Really looking forward to my July birthday, think I'll make it stretch right up to Christmas, and then start again - teehee.

Would that mean I'd get multi birthday bonuses too?

Whatever you are doing, make it a good one.

Guess Who is Back?

No, it's not Arnie the terminator, it's just Jill the twitterer.

Yes, I'm back from a wonderful holiday; and Iain really enjoyed all his birthday surprises - I did too - and I knew what was going to happen - lol.

Marbella was great even though not as sunny as usual, but who cares when you're away and relaxing. And of course there's always the sunshine in a bottle of vino! TeeHee.

The musical Oliver was magical, and we really enjoyed the behind the scenes theatre tour beforehand. I was a little disappointed before we went, because I heard that Rowan Atkinson was out of the show for three weeks after a hernia op, and was being replaced by Russ Abbott. I like Russ, but was really looking forward to seeing Rowan play Fagin.

But I shouldn't have worried, he was brilliant; really funny in some scenes, and suitably serious in others.

So that's Iain's birthday over with; mine next in July at DisneyParis - and no kids in tow - watch out Mickey, I'm on my way.

So what did I find upon my return? Loads of good things - another huge EuroMi!lions rollover - and an exciting change to the elottery programme!

Did you know that Friday night's mega jackpot is now a massive 99Million euros - £89Million - that's a serious amount of dosh!

I would love to invite you to join me in our professionally organised syndicate. You'll get 36 shared entries for just £5.00!

Plus, the unique way we play guarantees that the syndicate you're in will match both 'Lucky Stars', so we only need to match 5 numbers and not 7

And NO, that's not a typo - you really do get 36 entries for just a fiver! Play alone and 36 entries would cost you £54.00!

That's just one of the reasons we call this 'the smarter way to play'! And smart way to work too!

So if you fancy a go with no obligation to play every week, click here.

There's also a short movie that explains how it works.

And here's the breaking news about the biz side:
I can hardly contain my excitement, I've a permanent grin on my face, but believe it or not, from May 11th we are bringing out a new website and dropping the affiliate fee. Plus there will be free prize draws every month for every player plus matching prizes for the sponsors, and a car at Xmas. This biz was always a bargain at £9.99, but now that it will be free, it will soar to even greater heights.

Don't you just love it when everything comes nicely together!

Have a great weekend.

Cheers

Flying Down To Malaga

Hurray, holiday time is here again, and we're off to not so sunny Spain, but hey, who cares about a little rain when there's a whole 2 weeks of doing nothing to look forward to.

We love Marbella and the slow pace of life. I will even manage not to go online - well maybe on the very last day just to see what lies ahead - lol

And of course we've Iain's BIG birthday celebrations to look forward to and a long weekend in London before we go home.

That's if we come home of course. You never know, we might win the lottery whilst we're away! I wonder what we would do if we did win? Probably still go home to sort a few things out, and then fly back again to chill out and decide upon our next steps.

We're also looking forward to showing our Spanish friends that we now offer a smarter way to play the El Gordo and other Spanish draws too.

The next MEGA draw is early May, so if you want a share in 10 decimos, have a look here.

Well it's almost time to go and pack my case, so adios amigos y hasta la vista!

Watch out for Wednesday!

I've just heard something really exciting.

I've been a member of a brilliant 'cashback shopping club' for the last year. It's a system where anyone can have free membership, and then whenever they buy something online, they do it through their own free personalised cashback site, and then get great savings and money-back on their purchases - even when buying things on eBay!

It's only been available here in UK, but the brilliant news is that it expands into USA this Wednesday, 8th - hurray!

In a similar way to here, it will be linked to American retailers, so now everyone in the States can enjoy cash back and great savings too.

And the even better news is, that there is a fantastic business opportunity attached to it - completely free of any costs - so click here if you want to make big savings, and/or earn extra income too - join up today and start telling your friends soon.

Have a great week ahead.

Cheers

Hurray - It's the Weekend Again

Is it just me these days, or are the weeks going by faster?

I can't believe it's Saturday morning once again- I've only just recovered from the last one - lol!

When I worked 9 - 5 the days didn't go by as quickly as this; yet when you're busy you'd think the time would go quicker. I worked in retail banking, and you'd no sooner have walked through the door, and POW - you'd be full-on all day - hardly drawing breath for a drink! Yet sometimes the days would seem long.

So why, now that I'm semi-retired and enjoying a much slower pace with time freedom, do the days go by so quickly?

It's now 10.00am with a relaxing day ahead (going to the supermarket too) , and a pleasant evening dining out with friends, but I bet before I know it, it will be midnight.

And guess what, we put the clocks forward tonight too - so that'll be another hour lost - aaagh!

It will soon be time to get up again at this rate! Oh well, we're out for Sunday lunch tomorrow, so that'll be nice. Where am I going to put all this food?? There's no more room on my body.

At this rate, it will soon be our birthdays! My husband Iain is 60 on April 16th and I've organised a few little surprises at our apartment in Marbella. He doesn't even know that we are popping over there yet - teehee - so if you see him, please keep it quiet - it'll be fun getting him to the airport! We fly back to London for a theatre weekend; I've booked tickets for his favourite musical and a behind the scenes tour - so that will be very interesting.

Guess who is 60 in July? That's something else I can't believe. And the person in the mirror looks more like my mother - or even my father - lol - so what happened there then? Another lot of time just flying past?

I'm really looking forward to mine though, 'cos we've booked a long weekend in DisneyParis. We went 15 years ago on their opening week in April, so it will be exciting seeing all the changes. They didn't have the Studios then, plus it rained all the time!

Also, we both belong to the Birthday Bonus Club, and we are looking forward to all the cash presents that will be coming our way. If you havn't joined yet, then you really should consider it - lots of fun and rewarding too.

Can you believe that another 30 mins has crept by now? Unbelievable! So time to get going.
Have a great weekend.

If You're Feeling Crazy, then You'll Just Love This!

I just love competitions, they've always been a fascinating hobby. And finding the perfect tie-breaker is often a challenge all by itself.

I've won loads of prizes over the years, but never the BIG one like a house or an 'Around the World Cruise'. Plenty of 2nd prizes though, which I've been very happy with. And it's been nice giving some away to other people too.

So when I came across this fantastic competition site, I knew I just had to share it. So why not go and have a look around; enter a few, and let me know if you win! Click here

All About Competitions - UK Online Free Competitions - No Registration - Win Holidays, Cars, Cash, Gadgets, and lots, lots more!

And don't forget to play the lotto 'the smarter way' either

You have to be in it to win it!

Portia is walking in memory of Wayne

I'd like to introduce you to my USA based friend Portia - click here

I've known her online for over a year, but never knew, until last month, that she suffered from MS.

That's because she is a very positive thinking person, who never complains about what life has thrown at her, so many of her online friends never knew. Whilst I respect her for that, I am also glad that I know now.

She is in my thoughts today, because her close friend Wayne, also afflicted with MS, but with the more aggressive type, has died suddenly.

Portia and Wayne were getting ready to do a sponsored walk to raise funds on behalf of MS and had a goal of $1500. Portia will now be walking in memory of Wayne.

If you feel that you can help her to reach this target, click here and visit Portia's page at the National MS Society. Even the smallest of amounts will be welcomed. What will you be wasting a dollar or pound on this week?

Thought for the day:

Do any of us know what is just around the next corner? No, so make the most of every day, and don't put off until tomorrow, the things that you should have done and said today!
