    I have a really strong left arm but my right one is so weak!!

    Good luck with selling all your unwanted stuff, Nicki! I have no luck on selling things on amazon anymore.

    "Usually dispatched within 1 to 2 months." :eek:
    I guess a good way if you're going to get it from amazon you could try to get all of the vouchers? I know you just got given money but you cound do dooyoo etc to get the vouchers and surveys..? :rolleyes:

    I only put a couple of books on Amazon and a couple of books on Ebay. I have a lot of clothes/ornaments that need to go to a charity shop. Not sure when though.

    Got to start university work tomorrow :(

    I was thinking of working on afew vouchers after christmas - mainly reviewing the presents I get because I've run out of stuff to review with hardly buying myself anything:o didn't notice it was a 1 - 2 month despatch! Blimey!

    Just got up to £12.02 on STP so I'm going to call in a night! not bad for an hour and a halfs work. So that makes about £3.83 made since I last updated yesterday? Looks like I'm in with a chance of reaching the £40 goal set. If I could get £40 a month on their that would cover my phone bill easy (seeing how it's 'only' £25) plus £15 I could transfer into my savings account too.

    Good luck with starting your uni work tomorrow Nicki! I have nothing planned (not wanting to rub it in!) just a lazy day walking the dogs and baking I suppose. Have a fun day too Tink!

    Went into town today, bloody manic!! Decided to go to the bank but she threw lots of different saving options at me so I bought all the papers home to mull over. Got Frank another 3 presents, £20 total, some new bedding too so another £20 spent there. Hoping that will be all my spendingness until boxing day.

    I went into town as well. Got some Christmas presents and things with my brother. Really fallen off the saving bandwagon. Wanted to get some clothes but will just wait until the sales probably. Although I don't have the patience to shop for clothes anymore.

    Got to make cake tomorrow, munch!

    nomnom! have fun! :D

    Same here with the saving, I have just enough to get through the christmas holidays I think, I'll be surprised if I go back to work with more than £100 in the bank, with all the meals, cinema trips, and sale shopping yet to come.
    I'm only going to buy things I need in the sales, and if they're in the right size, in sales I get suckered into thinking I could maybe squeeze into one size down or one size up wouldn't look too bad on, only to take them back and then have something pretty in the corner catch my eye. Horrible sale shoppig circle!

    Hey!
    Sometimes you wonder how much effort it takes for people to be nice.
    Just looking on Amazon, they have some good bargains :)
