Yep, my challenge up till xmas is to get the mortgage down to 50k, which is what I aiming to do for the mfit challene,but when I signed up to that I genuinely thought it would be a challenge getting it done by april 2010

Did the Wii buyer pay today??

We have a wii fit that has been used once since we moved in (2 1/2 months ago!) - I'm sorely tempted to sell it and buy again when back in stock. Girls would probably not even notice if we didnt have it for a while!

Anyway...how bored have I been this evening?? Girls are at their dad's - I really need to be able to amuse myself! (I really missed the boards today, how sad!!)

And yes - how about a Christmas challenge?
I've not done wonderfully on the Summer Hols challenge, on about £300, with £130 coming from Quidco. I did have £500 target so not bad, but I wanted a lot more off ebay - my fault for not listing enough though. I'm running out of decent stuff though, same for Amazon. I must read the matched betting stuff through again, I can't see any other way to make extra money.

Hi Milly ... nope, the eaby buyer hasn't paid I don't get it, why bother bidding if you're not gonna buy it?? I have sent an invoice but tbh I don't expect to hear from them :mad: :mad: I have to wait though till I can report them as non paying and try to do a second chance offer :rolleyes:

Other than that though we've had a lovely day; we went down the beach and got a little boat across the harbour to another beach and watched the air show from there, ds loved it I spent 3.20 on the car park, 3.60 on the ferry boat and 3.70 on sausage and chips for tea Only one day to go before we're back to normal life

Nice to be back here though

Ah are you back at school on Monday?
I'm back on Wed (inset day0, then Emily on Thurs and G goes to her new school on Fri....Roll on this tim next week when we've all got our first days back out of the way!
As for the ebay buyer - I don't get it either. Why on earth bid on something you don't intend paying for? What is the point?

We went to watch the air show today, but we decided to go right next to Bmouth pier:eek: . Mind you we parked really close easily right at 12, so wasn;t too bad. Your place sounds much nicer and easier though. Where did you watch it from?

benbenandme

I'm back on monday (inset day, so no kids ), ds is back on tuesday. It *should* be a fairly easy week but I'dstill rather be on holiday

We were at Hengistbury Head Yukkibear, it was really quiet on the beach there, really wierd seeing how good the weather was :rolleyes:

yukkibear

Ah good place to watch them. Bmouth beach was jam packed as you would imagine, we didn;t even get on the beach, but were perched between cafe shore and the pier. Still it was good and we went shopping afterwards and then watched the stunt planes from the top of the hill.

benbenandme

Yeah it was good, and free :beer: We were going to go to Southbourne but the traffic was ridiculous so we stayed local instead
