    Thanks CAFC,

    Just found out I am getting a £10 refund for something I didn't think I would so that will round off my paper hat figure to £1,100 nicely for Xmas. And I passed my AQA review today so it has been a good day for me today.

    Just need to motivate myself for Dooyoo!

    Ooh, where are you going ski-ing. It sounds fantastic!!!

    I spend a few hours a day on AQA. However long it takes to get £10 as I aim to make a tenner a day. It doesn't always work out like that but I can usually make it up.

  • I am off to USA, very excited but a bit pricey for a good DFW. I went to have a look at SKI clothes after work today, just getting a feel for makes and fits and stuff before I pounce when I see a bargain.

    Oh well, I will just have to work extra hard.

    Well done for the dedication on AQA :T

    Another one of you booking holidays!

    *wanders off to find whip*

    I feel another turkey gobble coming on!

    I havent done much else to today, just checking up on whats been tracking on my cashback.co.uk, need to check my dooyoo and then think about what im taking into work for lunch tomorrow since Im trying to be all righteous...

    On a total off topic note I managed to motivate an old school friend (who I've recently been in contact with) to cutting up her credit cards, and pointed her in the direction of this site as well and she's just text me to tell me for the first time in years, she feels free.... awwww isnt that nice.... just hope she doesnt come to regret it...

    Although for me, cutting up my credit cards was the most empowering thing I've ever done...

    Hypno06 would be a good person to ask about skiing as I think her 2 kids do it a lot, so she might be able to point you in the direction of a good retailer for what you need....:rolleyes:
