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

Cinny91

I've only ever had one bikini, when I was 14 in Holland! Haven't really had the need for one since - holidays in England don't bring the best sunshine.

I'd do a gym session before the pilates over swimming, get you all warmed up! Plus I don't think Pilates with wet hair would be all that fun.

Going to get back into my treadmill and telly tomorrow. I think I might come over to work on my Vespa if it's not too cold. Been stood still since october, saying that I need more 2 stroke oil.

Gym has hairdriers, so could swim, shower, then stretch out, but yeah, do think I'll opt for a bit of time on the cross trainer or something (have been advised not to do running with my knee). Anything good on telly at 6-7.30ish?! Think they have C4 so I suppose that's a bit of Simpsons at least, then prolly be back to watching the news! Need to go late on Thursday evenings, know they show supersize vs superskinny (how bad is this, planning the gym around tv shows!).

NIM is going to try and get extra shifts today (hopefully lots and lots of extra shifts) so we can get towards our savings target. 9 days to payday, have to do 2 MS though, but still should get £250-£300 into the ISA on the 25th, unless ofc the handbrake issue is more expensive than I am hoping (about £50). Need to take out another £80 to go in the rent pot as I used the cash to get my tyres done!

Right, I'm doing a to do list for the week, for me and NIM, because there are some non urgent things we need to sort this week:

• Keep on top of the daily surveys
• Both free scratchies every day
• Check onepoll every day
• Check all survey accounts and make a list of them, see how far I am from cashout since have never done this
• Do Toluna Polls
• Clear stuff from under bed into shed
• Sort drawers out so can actually find clothes
• Go to gym at least 4 times
• Send TAB my ID details
• Weekend - sort ALL the books out so they are listed on Amazon if going for £1.50 or more, or on RISI if under £1.50
• Finish tidying the room
• Assemble second wardrobe
• Change address on my drivers licence, and order NIM an English one
• Do Dooyoo reviews (aiming for 35 between the two of us), know this is a lot, but I'm trying to still write decent reviews, have just lost all enthusiasm to write 1000-6000 word blockbusters!
• Do 50 STP tracks per day (this one is mainly on NIMs shoulders, however if he gets loads of extra shifts, clearly this might be dropped), total STP by 23.59pm Sunday = get up to 400 total ever done on NIMs account
• List the 10 or so items in the green box on ebay, and store on turbolister ready for the next free listings day
• Get NIM a list of comic shops to call about the comics
• NIM calls comic shops/makes a list of comics to email anyone who is interested
• Check all MS accounts that I have no outstanding jobs I didn't remember
• Do MS on Wed (one MS all week?! Need to find more me thinks!)
• Get OH to register on all UK MS sites
• Check which ones I am with, and register on those I never got around to!

So 22 things to do, bets on how many we manage to do?!

Simpsons, Hollyoaks then either Emmerdale or tomorrows hollyoaks *ahem*

Just you know.. a guess.


That's a blummin' wizard of a list there Dinah! I'm going to place my bet on ... 22. It's annoying but I think you will be able to do it.

Just been out of the office to let the dogs run free for a bit (we have the added joy of Trevor today as Mum is at work) it's lovely and sunny! Looking for some new gloves for my vespa and I'll be able to use it again next week :T Need to pay road tax middle of next week too.

*edit* Just seen your 4th sig challenge! Good luck!

Dinah93

4th Challenge is exciting.

I'd be chuffed if we could manage 17, but if we do all 22 I will be over the moon.

Hmmm simpsons I like, don't do soaps though. Am supposed to be meeting my friend for dinner this week, have suggested thursday as then I can meet her for dinner, then go to the gym and watch supersize vs superskinny afterwards!

DAMNIT! NIM needs toad tax too, so that's another £180 we're short for the ISAs!

Cinny91

haha, best way to do it! I'd rather be puffing and panting to that (mainly when the leathered fat lady comes on - push you a little more!) than the news or something.

You should of got him a scooter! It's £15 for a years road tax on my little vespa. Although having to get new helmets every 2 years soon makes up for that 'saving' need to start looking at insurance pretty soon aswell.

Dinah93

Lol yeah I can't see him on a scooter, besides this car was a decent bargain, and he needs something for late night trips home/our little country roads/long distance ish trips to supply teaching jobs.

Can't believe the leathered lady has become a fixture, is she the only morbidly obese person who agreed to be filmed?!

Cinny91

Maybe no to the scooter then! It's perfect for me atm but when I move out I might have problems with the 'big shop' but I refuse to part with it.

They're following her during surgery aren't they? Her skin still amazes me, every. time.

Dinah93

It is very much a case of her skin knocks me for six more than her weight does, which I'm not sure is the impression we're supposed to get!

Brother found a choccie bar in my car the other day, was about to have some as my treat after the uber healthy lunch, but it went out of date in Feb 2007, maybe not then!

Cinny91

haha, bless her! I have to say though, she is very well kept appearance wise. Most people her size are pretty pale, scraggy haired ect. So atleast she has that on her side.

Ew on the chocolate bar - it's happened to me aswell in the past (only from the depths of our 'goodie' cupboard) puts you off it all for a few days.

Found an amazing Cuppa Chupps helmet! Very tempted to get that one but Dad says we have to go get one from a close by motorbike shop *sighs* I wanted a head like a lollipop wrapper.

Dinah93

Lol just get it, would certainly turn heads, and people are more likely to notice you therefore you are safer on the road!
