I forgot to mention it ss, I did my order online on thursday and the first item was delivered this morning
I ordered about £150 altogether, but that included 5 pairs of trousers for work, all similar black ones, and I will only keep one or two of them at the most but I need to try them on to see which fit best
So, should be way under £100 in total

So far I have nipped to the shops for milk, crossaints + bits etc, (£6.50), then have emptied / refilled the dishwasher, just put on the 2nd load of ewashing, managed to rehome most stuff into the room it should be in, done all the surveys in my inbox and am having a 5 minute breakMortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000

I've got to blitz my house today too......so far I have done the recyling, the dishwasher, and have a second load of washing in.....but I am seriously considering going for a nap for an hour - I am whacked out!!
Maybe I'll go for a nap after I've done the kitchen :rolleyes:Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0 -
I know how you feel Hypno, I just have no energy at all today
My plan is to spend the whole day doing house stuff so we can go out with friends tomorrow and go out on monday too, but so far the progress is a bit slow

Just been thinking about my holiday challenge and I will need to make roughly £25 per day :eek: So far its looking really scary, I dont have any mystery shops booked in, only 4 bits relisted on ebay (one selling for 99p woohoo :rolleyes:) and thats about it
I'm waiting for the footie season to kick off in a couple of weeks, but need to be well on my way by then, so must start thinking more about this. Once the place is tidy I can have a good sort out of cupboards /wardrobes / garage etc for ebay stuff, maybe I'll devote tuesday to that. I also need a major banking overhaul which I should try and do today.
So far today I have filled in surveys worth about £1.50 and got 10p on a scratchcard, but won't count any of this until any of them reach payout, scratchcards are on £8 now so whouldn't be too long hopefully for that one :rolleyes:Mortgage Total: £51,549 / £75,000
