    Did you ever do the coast to coast mf? xx


    I didn't do the coast to coast, I had no money and also got badly unfit and was too busy with work. I still really want to do it, but just trying to get fit at the moment with running

    Hi Folks,

    I managed another PAD day today of £5. I also managed another NSD which I am pleased about. Also did a bit of trading on the Wolfsburg Vs Hamburg match and made about £20, which was good.

    Hi Folks,

    Well I managed another PAD of £5 for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, so that is another £15 off my debt total.

    I also did quite abit of trading over the weekend. I lost -£24.64 on the Saturday, but managed to make +£21.04 on the Sunday.

    I am off work this week, so looking forward to relaxing and having a few days out with my gf.

    Hi Folks,

    Well that is the end of March. I had a nice week off work. For the most part, the weather was great. I managed to get some gardening done and had a few days out.

    I managed another 2 NSD's whilst I was off, so that took my final total for March to 7/8. Almost got the 8, must try harder next month.

    I also managed £5 PAD's on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so that is another £25 off my debts. So my total payments on the debt this month was £468.86

    Also managed to make a bit of money trading again, so my total for the month was £150.76.

    I will set myself 10 NSD's for April and see how I go. I have also set £175 for my groceries in April as it is a 5 week month.

    Hi Folks,

    I managed another NSD yesterday so that is 2 for the month.

    I have been looking at various ways of increasing my income. I already do a bit of trading, but that is a long term income, as it takes awhile to increase your bank.

    I was thinking about ebay and amazon again, but the trouble is I don't know what to sell. I have lots of old ps2 games and books. I also have lots of magic the gathering trading cards, that could be worth some money.

    I think I need to sit down and catalogue all my stuff and see what I can do.

    Hi Folks,

    Well I had a lovely Easter Weekend. We went to my gf's parents for a nice Easter Sunday dinner. I was really pleased with my willpower over Lent. I gave up Choc, Alcohol, Sweets and crisps. On Sunday, I did enjoy a nice glass of shiraz and had a bit of a treat with some choc and sweets.

    I managed a NSD on Saturday and Sunday, so that takes the total for April to 4.

    Need to get back to healthy eating once again this week. I don't want to undo all the good work, losing 14lbs.
