The ultimate incentive to get debt free, can I do it by New Years?

3 tracks into STP and it's given in. Still, I suppose 15p is better than nothing! Trying to find afew money making things to do before OH gets here. 1 hour to go! Haven't seen him since last sunday morning but it feels like aaages.

When's the next time you're seeing him? Hopefully STP will get back up and you'll be able to balance it out again.

STP still going for me I think. Do some Dooyoo? I'm not going to be able to do my full 30 today - have nothing left inside not listed and the rest of the stuff is in the shed, and I can't take photos in the dark, so have done 20/30, might make it up tomorrow, might not though as have a lot of things to wrap!

Going over to Shannon friday night after work, have 4 airport jobs to do first so going to the airport early. Have to get 2 glasses of wine (oh the hardship) a coffee and a burger. and I get £32+ reimbursement. Coming back on Sunday though so very quick visit.

Hope you have fun! Still, 2 days with your OH is better than none. I suppose that's all I'll be seeing of OH next weekend if I'm lucky, and he only lives 30 miles away! Still trying to think of things to do tomorrow, walking at the peaks is out of the question, Lots of rain. Will be a trip into town to go to boots then a walk in the park if the weather is good, if not looks like a day cosied reading books.

It's just the media player I have the problem with on STP, might just be my computer than anything!

Dinah93

The media player is playing up for me too now. Oh well!

Hoping they'll get it sorted out soon, it was a fun little money maker. Even with all the bad rap!

Because we love our lists, here is how I'm doing so far on my Jan list. Not too bad I don't think!

Well done on your list! I do love a list - does anyone else ever add a couple of things they've already done so you can tick them off straightaway? hope it's not just me lol

Are you after a photo album or a printed book, Dinah? Last time I looked on Photobox they had BOGOF on photobooks - really lovely for a special occasion, but not all that cheap...

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everybody! x

Dinah93

Yep it's a photobook I'm after, will have to check them out thanks poodle. Got some really nice ones for £6.49 at Aldi I think it was before Christmas.

Feeling really bad again today, had an asthma attack in the night as well. So todays to do list is another little one.

• Do onepoll
• Do mi-info
• Do free scratchies
• Do 25 ebay items
• Wrap last of ebay items already sold
• Answer any questions that pop up on ebay throughout the day
• Do any surveys that arrive.

Need to be better - need to go back to work tomorrow!

Yes

Hi all, hope you're feeling better now Dinah, great news about the A&L account, must feel like a massive weight's been lifted! Was that the Grand Designs I saw with them builing a new house in a little chocolate box village? Had her parents paid for it?! I missed the beginning but that was the impression I got so I didn't like them on that basis! OH was impressed to learn about the insulated wall panels or whatever they were but was annoyed that the upstairs windows weren't escape windows :rolleyes:

We walked about three miles out of our way on our walk yesterday and ended up back at the car park after taking a wrong turn somehow, didn't have the heart to then retrace our steps and walk another 9 miles so just got in the car and came home. I've been out spending money on new walking boots and fleece today, so I'm just going to transfer £400 of the fraud money into my savings so it can't be spent! I'll keep the £72 so I don't leave myself short, but hopefully it should still be there by payday so I can transfer it then.

I now need to add 'job application' to my to do list - anyone got any advice on applying for something that you're not necessarily qualified for, but you think you'll be good at?

Actually, I forgot about booking Valentine's weekend, so make that £300 and I'll try to hold onto £172 til payday...
