A nsd here today :beer: I still can't use facebook, think I will need to set up a new page on there as it won't let me do anything :mad: :mad:

Today was all fine at school and ds had a good day too He was good at bedtime too, worn out I think after a day back at school, so fell asleep quickly in his own bed again so I am in bed early again with the laptop. Off to catch up with other threads on here.

Have just checked some accounts from offers I've done recently and one has credited my bonus I'd forgotten about, so thats another 8.00 to the mortgage pot :beer:

Hi BB ~ How's u?

Going to be moving in the next 2 weeks... will explain more when I see/chat to you on FB.

Can I have your number again as my phone died so I can't get any numbers from it :(xx

Oooh Tigz, we must catch up, need to hear whats happening

I made 10.00 from a matched bet today, moved over to the mortgage pot. I have been to the leisure centre and joined up tonight :eek: :eek: My induction is on sunday, so it will be fitness time from then I'm off to WW in a bit so will update you all later

Well I put on half a pound typical really, as I'd tried hard this week for the first week in ages :rolleyes: Never mind, onwards and upwards

I'm quite excited about the gym though and am looking forward to my induction; please please please all feel free tokick my butt over the coming months if my motivation dips, its sooo rare, in fact almost unheard of, for me to commit to something like this with a 12 mth contract

Evening Sorry I haven't been around much this week, shock horror I've almost had a social life :rotfl: Last night I had a takeaway with some girlie mates and it was lovely Tonight ds had his school disco which gave me time to nip to tesco and get the shopping done in peace

Today was payday, so another payment to the mortgage pot as well as a cheque from a survey site for 34.00 :beer: has seen off march 2027, and I'm now down to 18 years on the official mortgage term (was 29 when ex left us in 2005)

Just off to look for some matched bets for the weekend

Morning all I've finally checked all my banking this morning and with a bit of tweaking have ended up on track for the end of the month. Today is mainly going to be an indoors day, I've got loads of housework to do and loads of stuff to get organised, I just feel quite out of control with stuff at the moment so I want to get back on top of it all. I also want to start planning when I'll be going to the gym and some aims etc for that

Off to look for some matched bets / do bingo etc, catch you all later!

Sorry for the lack of updates this weekend, the laptop has been driving me berserk, so much so that today I have been and bought a new one :eek: :eek:

The cable started playing up again on the old one, then it wasn't charging and the battery kept dying :mad: I've had it over 3 years and it was a cheapy one from tescos and with the amount I use it I've definitely had my moneys worth from it so I shouldnt complain really :rolleyes:

Anyhow, 399.99 later ... here I am on a nice new sparkly machine and its gonna take me ages and ages to get it how I like it and feeling like mine I've got to relist all my favourites, reinstall the stuff for aqa, sort out my outlook express stuff, sort out itunes, sort out my photos / mortgage tracking info etc ... aaagh, this is gonna take yonks!! It was a big expense I wasn't expecting but I figured it was necessary as without a laptop I limit my money making capabilities, ie. matched betting / looking for mystery shops / aqa .... and anyway, I need to chat to everyone on here

So now I'm off to start the mammoth task of finding some favourites and getting this thing feeling familiar

Forgot to say I went to the gym for my induction today too and was very impressed with it all, much more up to date than the last time I set foot in one, and I am quite excited about going back

I (other than the laptop) have had a no spend weekend :T and I also made 7.00 on a matched bet yesterday
