    Hola All!

    Nothing for me today, but did some overtime tonight (don't add my o/t till I get paid so will be another fortnight till that) and accepted another 5 hours o/t next week, woop!

    More watchers on my ebay stuff but didn't list anything today so will have to make up for it tomorrow!

    A bit over a week into it and I'm sort of averaging £18.75 a day, but that will go down a bit when my MBing freebies turn into actual withdrawable money. On the other hand, I'm expecting another £196 worth of freebies to turn up over the next week or so - about £175 in "real" money.

    Hi samarnesen - I'm with GTM as well but I can't seem to log into my account. I put in my email and password but it says it needs my account number - but there's nowhere to put it :confused: . I've emailed them LOADS of times and they said they'll get back to me. Do you have a direct link to their website, please? This is the one I'm using. Is this one wrong? I know I've got money in there :mad: .

    Just so I'm not totally hijacking the thread with an O/T, I found a penny on the way back from the post office, yay!!:rotfl:
