    oops didn't make the gym but in my defence I was really sick last night - not too sure why but felt a wee bit fragile today.

    Bought News of the world for the £5 tesco voucher and even paid 3p for a bag in woolies so noone could see my shame!

    oh dear, yet another day that I didn't go to the gym! must go tomorrow.:o

    have lost one of my watchers on ebay - booooo.

    Have decided that if I can I will get this place sold in 6 months, have had enough and need to get out. Even if it sells quickly it should be about 9 months before I'd actually complete and hopefully most of the debt will be gone by then anyway. Just need to get the place sorted out on a teeny, tiny budget... and will be decluttering like mad!:D

    well today I went to Tesco's for milk and crisps and spent £11... moral of the story is that I shouldn't be allowed out without a list.:o
    Ebaying and daily clicks just won't help if I do stupid stuff like that but I've still about £1.50 left out of this weeks budget just feeling bad I didn't manage to save more of it.:o
    you can never have too much wine or chocolate though...:D

    well so far I have one bid on my ebay stuff so at least that'll cover the costs! I've done a couple of surveys today so another 15p for that... really need to read up on the matched betting as I'm going nowhere fast!

    Good luck with the matched betting Skinty. I made about £150 a few months ago when Quidco were doing the Coral and Ladbrokes offers but to be honest I didnt have the time to look for the match odds. I plan to go back to it sometime but just not at the moment.

    Seemed to be fairly straightforward.

    Thanks Louise, between that and all the comping I will lose weight without the gym cos I'll be too busy to eat!
    I have just prepared a huge list of jobs that I need to do to this flat before I put it on the market...arrggghhh! just need to make a start though and if I do one a week or so I'll get there although some of them will require a wee bit of money...

    Well...ebay finished for the week and I made £3.50... rubbish but still it gets rid of some more clutter - I will keep going. Having big problems with talktalk though so had to come to the library to get the addresses to post the stuff to.
