Benbens moneymaking adventure

hypno06

well done on the lb loss last night - my running is finally paying off and the lbs are (at last) shifting!

I'll be having an early night - January is SUCH a tiring month!

Well done on your weight loss. I just can't get motivated at the moment. I seem to spend to much time sitting at the laptop, shame I can't shed some weight through my fingers typing away.

Sorry there wasn't that electricity between you two BB, but at least you gave it a go.

Back from ds appointment; basically she doesn't think he's autistic / adhd etc, but she thinks he has definite traits of some of them. She was really nice and we'll see how mondays appointment goes

I got the confirmation through today from the sun holiday, and I have upgraded to a chalet lodge instead of a caravan, and for a week instead of 3 nights, and altogether it has cost me 108.00 for the whole of half-term week :j :j I'm really chuffed with that and will use some of this months quidco money for it

So did my youngest and he was eventually diagnosed as Dyspraxic. Very similar symptoms;) .

I have read you diary for ages now(since the begining:eek: ) and I was going to mention to you that I thought he might be dyspraxic, as a lot of things you were saying about DS were exactly the same as my DS2. There are some brilliant books in the Library on it and when I was reading some of them I felt that they had been written about DS2. Take a look and see what you think. Once armed with information it makes things a lot easier.

Fab news about the hol... so is that a mon to fri now? Can we come too??;);)

Re hosp appt, good news that he doesn't have either, what is the other appt for on Monday?

Did cutie say anything about your date? x

benbenandme

Nope Tigz its fri-fri :j :j and now we get tv / dvd player / wifi included too The appt on monday is to test his physical abilities and motor co-ordination etc.

DFF - thankyou, she sis mention dyspraxia actually too and having googled it some more I can see some clear behaviours that ds has there :rolleyes: I will read up some more on that one

Ds has gone to his dads for the weekend and I need to have a money-making mission; I must get my skip rate down on aqa to 45% this weekend, and I must also get some mb'ing done too. I've done several surveys that were in my inbox and have also grabbed a mystery shop for february at a local bookies :beer:

benbenandme

It wouldn't be the weekend without a list , so here goes ....

• Cancel credit card
• Ebay 5 items
• Reduce skip rate to 45% on aqa
• File/bin/action all paperwork on table/top of microwave
• Sort banking yet again
• At least 2 new matched bets
• Clear all washing/ironing
• Post 3 x letters
• Food shopping
• Clean piglets
• Take pile of stuff, (thats sat there for 2 weeks now ),from the hall to the garage
• Prepare februarys budget

I haven't written on loads of household stuff, the flat isnt too bad tb,but there is the usual cleaning / daily stuff to be done. I am going to try and get the housework stuff done tonight so I can concentrate on moneymaking stuff tomorrow.

I have sorted all my banking stuff, basically with lots of shifting round it all somehow balances eventually :rolleyes: I am due 185.00 from quidco this month, which will be split 100.00 towards the electric bill, the other 85.00 to cover the upgrade for our holiday This just leaves me with my Next account to sort. It still isn't showing everything on there, but it should be about -192.00. I have made a payment of 20.00, but still 172.00 to find I realised that I forgot to transfer the money for the bits I bought from Lakeland and a few other bits, so thats 70.00 coming from my present fund, which leaves 100.00 to find and this is where this weekends ebaying will come in I have several new items with tags that can go on there and hopefully that will make a dent in the amount thats left. Also any more aqa'ing this month will go towards it as I have already met my 50.00 target there

Wow - you're so organised....!!

I have to find £420 by mid feb to pay my arrears on CT, car tax and agency renewal fee for this place. I have £20 so far... hmmmm, need some BB magic me thinks!!

benbenandme

Morning all I've done my matched betting for today, I've started another bet basket and because of the fa cup the odds were really good so I have managed to place enough bets to get me halfway through it already Hopefully that should be 100.00 in free bets credited tomorrow

Time to get up now and head for the shower before I do the food shopping :rolleyes:
