    Actually I forgot to mention earlier in the week, my £20 challenge did not last very long, I spent the rest of it during the weekend.

    Hopefully I can make the next £20 last longer, although I wont be starting again until next week, when I get paid.

    Right just finished my tea, I had mushroom and courgette rissotto. I have done quite well tonight. I have managed to go for a run and sort out one of the outhouses. I also made my lunch for tommorow. It was raining, so I could not prune the hedge, but I am not too bothered. There was no more surveys to do tonight. I was hoping to get a dooyoo review done whilst on my lunch today, but I did not. Don't think I will have time tonight.

    Cool, just coloured in another three £50 squares on my debt chart. I have updated my signature as well.

    Another NSD today as well, which takes it to 7 for the month

    I was a bit annoyed today that I did not get a dooyoo review done. However, I did manage to read about 20 reviews on the site, mostly from guides. I did this to try and get a feel for what constitutes a good review and to get a feel for the structure when writing a review. There were some very good reviews on there. Just hope I can write a good one.

    I might try and write one tommorow, although I will be decorating. I guess I will just have to wait and see

    Bye for now

    Morning all,

    Hope everybody is well and has a good weekend.

    Just thought I would check in. I slept like a log last night and I am very sore from the work-out yesterday. I better lose some weight this week :mad:

    I have so much to do today, I will get a list sorted and post shortly
