    Hi Everyone,

    Well I have had a good long weekend at my parents and with my girlfriend.

    I had a good game of golf on saturday, and beat my last score. I saw my grandad on sunday and watched the football with him. Then today I went with my girlfriend and her daughter to greenacre farm for the day, it was good. Got back to Durham about 7pm. I am back in work tommorow. Back to the grindstone. Nevermind.

    I will get back to my money saving updates tommorow.

    Night night Folks

    Morning all,

    Did not want to get up this morning. Back to work. :eek:

    Did some washing last night and pegged that out this morning. I have just made my lunch to take into work. Could do with a NSD today, as I am skint now until next tuesday when I get paid. :confused:

    I have just done my scratchcard this morning, only won 10p, so that takes me to £2.50 in chit chat bingo. I could do with joining virgin bingo as the take a break bingo is rubbish now.

    Anyway I suppose I better go. Take care

    Morning everyone,

    Hope everyone is good today.

    Thought I would construct a list of stuff I need to do today and tonight when I come in from work. I was quite pleased yesterday as I got most things on my list ticked off. Really need to get my bum into gear and work harder to clear off this debt.

    Right my list for today:-

    [STRIKE]1) Breakfast[/STRIKE] - Complete tasty porridge.
    [STRIKE]2) Peg out washing[/STRIKE] - Complete
    3) Register with dooyoo
    4) Register on-line with halifax saving pots.
    5) Survey (at least 1 this evening)
    6) Update spreadsheets and MSE diary.
    [STRIKE]7) Scratchcards[/STRIKE] - Completed and won 10p
    8) Make tea
    9) Make lunch for tommorow
    10) Mow the lawn (it is becoming a jungle)
    11) Try and earn somemore casback.
    12) Join Virgin bingo scratchcards.

    I will add more to the list as and when I think of stuff.

    Well I have put most of my books on amazon now. I might have three or four left to submit. Have not sold any for a couple of weeks. Guess I will just have to be patient.

    I need to get back into the matched betting. However, I will have to wait until I get paid as I have no spare money until then. On the plus side, I do have some good offers to do via e-mail. So hopefully I can make a bit of money next month.

    Right better go bye for now

    Thanks Poorbutrich,

    Wish I could lose a bit more weight though. The main problem is not enough exercise, and when I go and see my girlfriend we tend to go out or have a take-a-way and drink wine. Not a good combination.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I need to get back to badminton, I have not been for awhile
