    i'm really bored today, done scratchcards, clicks,nothing to sell,no surveys-hope MBM money is in bank tomorrow so i can at least make a payment so it looks like things are moving!

    What is going on with MBM? I saw on their website today that they're having problems with the payment run. I've just reach £35, hopefully it'll all be payable before xmas.

    Think its sorted - i think they were just running late coz of some comp probs, i had an email saying it had been paid but it takes so long to get into the bank coz its over the weekend 99% that it should be in tomorrow

    Afternoon all

    My sister came over this morning. I helped her do a budget (it was so confusing!). but we got there.

    Then we had lunch and layed on the fabbo soffa watching a DVD :D Brilliant.

    After working out her budget I dont think im going to get the £110 this month, which means i probably wont be able to make an extra payment on my CC. Bit annoying but nevermind, such is life. :rolleyes:
