Edit: Eeek £120.99 now, one of the 5euro skirts is now at £31! So glad my mum talked me into taking a gamble on them!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Hey Everyone
Oooh all this chocolate talk is getting me distracted! I went to Boots today, the one in Dalston had a few bits left, but mostly those Ocean Spa sets and the Accessorize ones but I didn't really like the daisy pattern. Sorry to hear you got savaged by the Bootsers Dinah. I too tried to get some of the offers but it seemed like you have to spend a lot to get a lot back. It's just the two of us so we wouldn't get through all the product!!
Will ask my friend about her girlfriend's job and see if I can get you a name and some details for your OH. I had the job interview, it went okay, and I got news of another one today. But only for another part time post - boo. Got a rejection for a really good internship so that was a bummer. Got my eye on a great job but it's really well paid and I think that means it's probably a bit above my station.
I'm so impressed by all this ebay selling, all my bits just seem to go for 99p. I've got some Swarovski crystal pendants so I'm going to photograph them this weekend and put them up. Fingers crossed, as I only have funds until the end of Feb, and I'm not sure I'll have a job by then. I might also go back to matched betting. I tried it a few times and still have a £100 float in Betfair. Anybody tried it atall?
Also I signed up to doyoo - thanks for all the tips.

Nope matched betting is on my to do list, but I want to get all the ebay over and done with first. Only 2 more bin bags left to do! I'm still doing ebay now, been doing it hours, but OH is late back so I might as well keep plodding on. Most of my stuff does only go for 99p or under £5 certainly, it's just these new tagged Monsoon things that are selling nicely. But hey, its all clutter I don't need, and it certainly adds up.
Good luck with the other job applications, all you can do is try your best, better than not trying at all!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Good going on your list last night! Already written mine up for today, OH isn't over until later so I should be able to work on it.
I mentioned to my Grandad about my savings and how i'm hoping for £1000 before the end of march, he said if I don't do it he want's to see everything I bought that made me not reach my target(he knows me too well) So now i'm double determined to do it.
Just been looking around on book people, filled my basket with everything I liked and it's come to £37 for 25 books, blummin' eck!

Just got a call saying my topshop parcel is at home so I'll be able to ring up and change the details this afternoon, unless they put my email address on the packing slip in which case I can log on an change it or cancel the account!0 -
That's fantastic Damita, what did you sell?! I'm up to £125 this morning, 28/98 things have bids on.
Feeling worse again today, all tight in my chest. But I didn't take the right ammount of steroids yesterday as I hated feeling so groggy, so I guess it's my own fault.
