Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

I managed to squeeze bot mystery shops in this morning before I go to get my hair done, and I have submitted one of them already, so when I get back I can have a lazy evening and just need to submit one more I think one of them sussed who I was as the guy went overboard telling me about every offer under the sun :rolleyes: :rolleyes: then when I had to ask if they had a toilet (dead give away) he was practically grinning :rotfl: :rotfl:

So, thats another 20.00 earned and 3.00 to be reimbursed, and fingers crossed, possibly a bit more if Bournemouth win 2-1 this afternoon

Wow, wish I had the time and energy to fit all the extra stuff that you do in. Mind you once September rolls round and I start getting paid I'm sure the money situation won't seem so bleak anyway.

I have a month to go until my hair appointment....CANNOT WAIT!

Just got back from having my hair done, I'm really pleased with it, and last time I went it cost me 83.00, but this time it was 75.00 and I had a 5.00 voucher they sent me, so only (:eek: ) 70.00 I know its a lot but I only get it done twice a year and I used my birthday money

I nipped intothe supermarket afterwards and bought 2 choccy bars and a big box of pg tips, and it came to 2.60, and the girl gave me 4.40 change instead of 2.40. I pointed it out to her but she rolled her eyes at me and told me it
was the right change cos thats what the till told her :rotfl: :rotfl: So it only cost me 60p for a peppermint aero, a mars bar and 160 tea bags :beer:
While I was having my hair done I had a phonecall from mate to say her oh has announced he wants a break They've been together 11 years and she is utterly distraught. I offered to go straight to see her (100 miles) but she said no cos he's coming round tonight to talk. I know exactly what shes going through and I wouldn't wish it on anyone, not even my ex and his oh.

Spends today: 70.00 hair (birthday money), 4.00 tip, 60p in supermarket, 3.00 in bookies (mystery shop) and 20.00 in electrical store (mystey shop purchase which I will return).

Just waiting for Bournemouth and Gillingham to score another goal each :rolleyes:

Think we need to see a pic of the hair.... I'd love to get mine done but I can't afford it.

DD has been to see Thomas today at the Watercress line with some friends. They were taking their little boy and offered to take DD too, she's had a fab time! Shame it rained x

Hahaa that's fab about the change in the supermarket - it was the till girl that made me laugh! The till says that change so must be right!! Things like that don't seem to happen to me!

I know exactly what you mean about your friend too - I never, ever want to feel like I did when ex-h left me, was awful and wouldn't wish it on anyone (not even the [EMAIL="t@rt"]t@rt[/EMAIL] who he left to be with? Hmmmm!!! No, im not that bad!!) All you can do is be there isn't it, when it happens to someone else. My sis and her husband were absolutely fab to me, let me visit most weekends. Funny though, if I think enough about that time in my life (16m ago) it still makes me feel horrible - glad it's all behind me!!! And I'm better off now, I know that!! Have a lovely house (even tho its rented), my kids are fab and keep me going, he only sees them every 2 weeks now. He's in huge, huge debt, lost his job now so no car, lives with the girlfriend but she sounds hard work hahaahaha.

Anyway....I've waffled a bit!!

Been sat here trying to do some college work, arghhhh it's soooo boring though. I keep nipping on Facebook, ebay - anything really!!!:rotfl:

Tigz, I'll try and put up the picture of Kelly Clarkson I took with me that I had done, its wierd, last time I went I took another photo of her too :rolleyes:

Milly, I know what you mean, I can still remember so much of it so clearly even though it was 3 years ago now,just hope one day I'll forget

Well, Gillingham obliged with their goal but Bournemouth didn't get another one, so no extra winnings there today, but I have got 4 more bookies mystery shops to do on monday so hopefully will win something

I've got a cracking headache so have just made a cup of tea and am going to mooch on here for a bit before getting stuck in to some aqa'ing as I haven't done any for a couple of weeks I'm going to aim for 20.00 tonight :eek: Thats probably way too optimistic but why not

tigzem

No!!! Take a pic using the timer on your camera and then pop it on your FB!! I need to see...lol

benbenandme

Hang on then ...

tigzem
