  • Hi folks,

    Have not posted much recently, as I was back home for my birthday. Had a great weekend and caught up with some mates.

    Also this week I have been planning my holiday across europe, really looking forward to it.

    I am hoping to go to to paris, then onto a few places in switzerland, then onto austria and then onto the czech republic and then poland. Then down to hungary and then across to venice before finally going back to france and the london. Phewww!!!! lol

    Anyway managed another NSD yesterday and hoping to have one today as well, so all in all a good month.

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I am losing the will to live today. Meetings involving too many middle managers that talk over you and dont listen to a word you say, even when I am the expert in the chemistry area. I seriously felt like standing up and shouting at everybody and telling them to shut the f##k up.

    Oh well such is life.

    Just having a nice cuppa soup for dinner, and venting my frustration typing on the computer. Think I will go and have a look at the backpack destinations I am going to in europe, to calm me down.

  • Hi everyone,

    Well all in all a good productive month.

    I managed 18/12 NSD. :j

    I managed £61.51 out of £80 budget for my grocery challenge. :j
    So I will carry over the £18.49 onto next month.

    In terms of PAD I managed £328.63.

    In terms of making money per day. I made £201.76 for Jan.

    And £111.29 of that was from matched betting. :j

    So I am really pleased. I also have some more money on scratchcards and surveys, but I will not count that until I have enough to withdraw.

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I have reset my challenges for this month.

    As I did well on the NSD's I am going to try harder and have set 15 for Feb.

    I have set £98.49 for the grocery challenge on feb, as I will need several stock items and I saved £18.49 from last month, so I have rolled that onto this months £80, to give me a target of £98.49.

    I have set £5 per day as my make money target for feb, so that is a total of £140.

    So fingers crossed I can carry on the good work I started in jan.

  • Hi everyone,

    Well I am tired today, as I was at the gym last night and I was up until 12am fixing my computer. I had to format the hard drive and start again. :mad:

    Anyway, on a postive note I managed another NSD yesterday so 2/15 for the month. :beer:

    Have not managed to do any scratchcards yesterday or today, as my computer is up and running, but has not got all the software back on it.

    Looking forward to tommorow, the final season of lost begins, cant wait.

    Got a badminton match tonight, so hopefully we can get a good win.

  • I would like to say that I have just read your entire thread and find it so so inspiring. For so long I have felt stuck in a constant circle of debt this has really given me inspiration to sort out myself and my finances so thank you.
    Am going to start my own thread and hopefully will have the same level of success as you have.
    :T
  • Evening everyone,

    Hope you are all well. I managed another NSD today, so that is 3/15 for Feb. :beer:

    Had a good badminton match tonight. We won 9-0, it was great. Really tired now so off to bed. I am hoping tommorow night to finish sorting out my computer. Just a few final things to install, then I can get back to the matched betting and scratchcards.

  • Hi stuckinaloop,

    Glad I can be of help. I was the same, stuck in a loop, but with a bit of willpower and a lot of help from friends on here (which there are lots of), you can achieve anything.
    So good luck and well aboard.
