    My bet has been matched properly phew.

    I am trying to work out what I can list on Ebay tomorrow. I have about 84 first class stamps that I have collected from surveys that I can list which should fetch a bit, as well as a few other bits and pieces.

    Am going to concentrate on cash from Dooyoo for a while now as I don;t need anything from Amazon and my gift balance is still fairly healthy.

    I used to do Toluna but it seemed like a lot of hard work for not a lot of reward?

    I have a few goals I want to achieve this year.

    - spend 3 minutes each day writing (reviews and starting a novel)
    - fill an isa (april - april)
    - save for my wedding and plan and pay for it (separate to isa)
    - be happy at work or tell them to *** off and get a new job

    Not too much then is it lol. The isa scares me but I want to do it, just not sure if I can with everything else.

    OMG so theoretically I need to make £20 a day for the isa and the wedding!!! That can;t include vouchers either unless I substitute real cash into savings for each voucher I get, but that kind of defeeats the extra freebies option.

    Oo-er lol, think I'll see how I get on between now and April.

    I've always wanted to write a novel, and have many young scribblings in the loft that I am too embarrassed to read now lol.
    I will write something in the chick lit lines I know that. Have already got my character synopsis done and am working on the plot now.
