    Good Morning everybody :hello:

    I have managed to sell another book today, so I have two to dispatch today. :j

    Anyway here is my update for yesterday as I was too tired to post last night. Managed to get lots of jobs done as you can see from the check list above.

    Sunday 14th June 2009


    1) Living on 4k a year challenge 6.gif


    My meals for today were as follows:-

    Breakfast:- Boiled Egg+2xbread=33p

    Lunch:- Cous-Cous+peas+Sausage+2xtomato+cucumber=76p
    Snack 2:- 2xrice cakes+butter=10p
    Tea:- Chinese=£6.40

    Total for the day £7.74

    After a day of jobs I was naughty and had a chinese, so that scuppered my day, but I really could not be bothered cooking. :mad::mad::mad:

    But it was nice :rotfl:

    I spent £6.50
    £6.40 went on the chinese
    £0.10 went into the loose change jar.

    This all goes on the extra column.


    2) June Grocery Challenge 1.gif

    3) Loose change

    1x10p. So total now for the 1p,2p,5p and 10p jar=£31.21

    4) NSD Challenge

    No NSD today (see above)


    5) PAD challenge

    PAD £1.00 towards my visa card.


    6) Make £5 per day Challenge

    Surveys - None today. However, I did sign-up to some more and changed my e-mail address on existing ones.


    Amazon Books - No new books posted or sold today.

    Matched betting - Did a qualifying bet and a free bet for Monday nights game.

    Hi All,

    Well I have dispatched my first two amazon books today. I should make £19.28, after post charges. So not a bad start. Fingers crossed.

    I never trust royal mail :rotfl:

    Well, I have finished my napster 14 day free trial. I have only done the trial for seven days, but with being away for the next few days, I did not want to forget and get charged.

    It was good, I managed to download 4 albums, which you get to keep. I also did the trial through a cashback site and got £10 cashback. Not counted the money yet until I can withdraw it into my account.
