  • It's worth it, I've been meaning to do it for ages. I signed up today and went on the LOVEFILM trial. It's a free 14 day trial (you just have to remember to cancel it at the end of 14 days) I've set myself loads of reminders to cancel it in 13 days, and Quidco gave me £17 for doing it! woohoo!:D

    Also lots of little fiddly things to do, 30p here, 50p there which I did a few of. We're going to renew our home insurance through them so instead of paying £13 a month, we'll pay £7 with Lloyds, and get £45 from Quidco... not bad aye.

    :)
    Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T
    Bluejeans Challenge: Spend less - Eat less! Need to lose [STRIKE]4 [/STRIKE] 2.5 stone (:eek:) then maintain until my concert in Dec!!
    Cady's jam jar challenge.. how much will be in the pot?!

    Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.

    Good morning ladies,

    Well, cats and dogs here again I'm afraid, so maybe not a lot of customers today, never mind, I have done well this wek due to the jewellery parties. I have been good so far today, cereal and soya milk for breakfast and a black coffee there.

    I'll be having spaghetti and toast for lunch I think.

    Hope you are all well today, will check in later,

  • I can't believe we have reached 100 pages! Well done Kmac! is it 250 when you change from a 'convert'?
    I was terribly bad last night, went out for cocktails and then drunkenly decided to eat my body weight in biscuits! whoops!
    I think I'm going out with my fella and his friend on Sat day, going to a charity choir in the evening and cracking on with my christmas crafts on Sun.
    The sweetie wreath is from the crafty for christmas thread, you are supposed to tie on sweets to a metal ring with cotton but I was lazy and got garden wire so just pierced the twisted bit of the wrapper and threaded them on! much quicker!!
