    Morning all,

    Right fresh start here! I really need to get back to my old self back on the money making path!!

    Since buying this laptop and new car now i feel totally unorganised, money and life wise!!!

    Having a laptop has sucked me into going on Facebook far too much, so instead of doing money making things online, im on facebook all evening chatting to friends etc!
    Buying the new car, helped take my mind off feeling broody for a while but now the feelings has come back again.

    My OH is being alot worse than myself also buying a car and spending about £1600 on it since buying it on modifiying rubbish that it didnt need!
    Then theres his tattoo removal, he has 4 sessions left and its still so dark, i think its going to take more than 4 sessions for it go. We will see.

    So im really going to try hard to get back into the swing of things, im 26 years old in 2 months. Ive really got to sort myself out! I saw a girl who used to work with me chambermaiding, shes 3 years younger than me, she left to work in boots warehouse, now she working in the stock market and has a mortgage with her boyfriend. She has never been to college or uni, i know its probably only filing etc that shes doing. But hey if she can do it so can i!!!

    Right i have some bits ready to list on Ebay,dyed my hair...the dye was quite good really only took 10 mins which is great! Colour is a little brassy atm though for me, but will fade after a week of washing im sure.

    While my OH has fitted an exhuast for his mate and earned himself £30. :)

    Later my OH is coming round so we can check his credit history record again, to see if some late payments have come off yet and most importantly to see if his CCJ has been marked as satisfied yet.
    His also bringing round his massive jar of coins for us to count, its full of £1's 50p's 20'p and 10'ps. We're going to count it and bag it up ready for the bank! :)

  • Hi Mariagti

    I bet you are liking having your own laptop as opposed to relying on your dads one.

    You'll soon get back into the swing of moneymaking/saving I'm sure.

    Have you started any courses yet?

    Hi KM :)

    Yes its great having my laptop! Only downside is now i can spend longer on the net without my dad getting onto me, i spend far too much time chatting to friends and online shopping than, using it for surveys and making extra money etc.

    No, i still havent started any yet! Im so rubbish! My friends microsoft office couldnt be used again for another computer. So that only leaves me with buying my own, which ive been too tight to do! And without Word etc the courses say i cant do them without.
    What i might do is go half's way my OH for the package that lets two computers install it as my OH needs it for his laptop too. Just have to find the best price!

    Im really giving myself a huge kick up the bum after seeing what my old friend from work has done with her life since leaving the hotel. I just keep getting side tracked.

    Maria there was some site you could get office package for cheaper if you're studying. It was on this site somewhere I'm sure of it.

    Thanks YB i will have a look around for it. Why its soo expensive i dont know!

    This morning ive had 2 massive spots come up on my forehead, so now i feel like just hiding under my duvet all day. Im 26 in a month, and i still suffer from spots. They really get me down. :(

    Anyhow, Happy Fathers day!
