Benbens moneymaking adventure

pixiechick99

Oh coooooooooooooooooool you are doing fab on the MB, I must must have a read of the stuff! There really aren't enough hours in the day to do all I want though - I've done a little college work but it's late now and want to lie in bed and read my book before going to sleep! And want to get up reasonably early ie before 9 so I can tidy up, try get more stuff on ebay. more college work, go to school uniform shop to sort out G, oh the list goes on!!!

I sold a buy it now on ebay too - one of the bags, £6, pleased with that - may go back to Tesco and buy a few more!!!

Well done Milly! I wish I'd started it ages ago now, but tbh, I wasn't happy starting it until I knew I had enought time to go through it all in loads of detail, so I am glad I waited really

I've spent time tonight chatting with the guy I went on date with a few weeks ago; he's a nice guy, lives too far away tbh, but is nice to chat with

Morning Just quickly popping in, off for my eye test in a minute. Nothing new to report this morning, have a good day all

Have a good day yourself, benben! The money making challenge seems to be gathering pace so I hope it continues!

Pop! Pop! Thats my ridiculous sense of humour, me popping in too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I actually enjoyed going for that eye test I went for, there's a lot of care taken these days. Have a good day around it, too.

Evening all Right, I went for the eyetest, had a very cute optician anyway, he said I do need glasses and so have sorted them out and they'll be ready next week. They cost me 75.00 but thats dead good really, as I don't pay for the eye test and then I don't pay for the lenses. The frames I went for were Karen Millen ones that were in the sale and were wrongly priced but they honoured it , so they were 44.50 and then I also paid extra for reflective something or other coating on them. My friend came with me and she said its worth the extra 30.00 for it so I trust her So, in total they should have cost about 220.00 so I'm pleased and actually quite excited about getting them

Then I took friend to the hospital for more tests, just to check she can go back to work soon Then we stopped off for a charger for her sat nav which I will be using at Butlins. I bought it and then she'll pay me back when she's back at work earning again. I also spent 2.20 on car parks, 2.48 on ebay postage and 5.00 in somerfield.

I've also just done a supermarket mystery shop,which was dead easy as its walking distance from where I live, its actually about 10 doors along from me

On the plus side moneywise, my nan gave me 20.00 towards Butlins and my mum gave me 35.00 for petrol too :beer: I told them all I really didn't need it but I think they're all so excited that I'm having a few days away (first time in years), that they want me to really enjoy it!

Another good mse day for you then - and thats really nice to get that support from your mum and your nan.... they appreciate what you do, thats obvious.

I've sussed which is going to be my first euro bookie, bet24, cos of continual gentle reload offers - I want to do paddypower, but they need quite a bit of cash to get through, apparently. Its all a learning curve!

I've just had a nice bath and it dawned on me while I was in there that I have got loads to do before we goaway on friday :eek: You know how the week just creeps by and suddenly you think "I've only got tomorrow left then we go" Luckily I have no plans for tomorrow so hopefully I have time to get it all done....

So, its list-time yet again folks as I have suddely got a million things going round my head that I mustn't forget

• charge camera batteries
• delete old photos from full up memory stick
• charge sat nav
• decide what to take
• ironing
• pack what we're taking
• find all paperwork I need to take
• take guinea pigs to my mums
• empty the car
• check oil etc in the car
• load the car
• make cds to listen to in the car
• find addresses for postcards
• print mystery shop stuff off in case wifi doesn't work when we get there
• clean and tidy the flat (all rooms except the lounge are 90% tidy)
• pay a cheque in
• charge mobile

Can't think of anything else at the moment but I'm feeling better already for having written it all down I am going to do the guinea pigs in the morning and get them settled and then I can come back and crack on with the rest of it. I might also start writing a list of what I need to take while I watch Big Brother

Hubba Bubba ....stu In Speedos:d :d :d :d :d :d

Well my girls were watching BB, I was reading my mag, but I admit I did put the mag down to watch Stu doing his press ups then jumping in the pool.....;) Why do I not find men like him on plentyoffish?!??!?!

I'm feeling exactly the same as you today - we're going to Paignton on Fri for a long weekend courtesy of my mum and stepdad; think they felt sorry for us not having any holiday at all this year! But like you I've not done anything, kind of thought I had plenty of time!! So now it's all for tomorrow. I did clean out the rabbit - now must remember to go ask my friend if she'll nip in and feed him.

We're home on monday so not that long, but be lovely to get away, especially for the girls. Not too hopeful about the weather tho:eek:
Anyway I think I'll write myself a lovely list like yours when I'm in bed.
