    I'm s'posed to be doing bview too but hard to motivate self... note dooyoo not moved on either... I can do ipoints and free bingo... I'm quite into the free scratch card thing... My winnings still haven't arrived from PP - if they don't come by tomorrow I will ring them up and complain... They were supposed to send me a cheque. I haven't made any progress on my POA.

    Milliemonster is cracking on she on about £1500 according to her sig on another thread.... so she is well in the lead...

    Am up to 22.5k on dooyoo, so doing this one review a day thing is helping quite a bit, less pressure to catch up on days where I've done now and I dont seem to have been accused of churning yet so thats all good.

    Shall be leaving for work shortly, only got today to go and then 2 days off WOOHOO! Going to get my dollars out of the money box now and take those in and get them changed up, probs only be about £10 but hey £10 is £10!
    Also really MUST MUST MUST reclaim xpenses today!

    Have a great day everyone. P.S Does anyone know of a cheap ebay listing day coming up at all?

    Sorry peeps that I've been bit down in the dumps, thanks for all the encouragement. Will probably feel much better after pay day, when I can pay more off my debts off.Talking about holidays. Now BF wants to buy some cheap ryanair flights and go for a long weekend away somewhere in January, how could I say no? I don't want to either, got to have that balance. I did tell him we have to do it on the cheap, no car hire, staying in a hostel etc. But something nice to look forward to if it happens. As for POA; changed the dollars, planning to list on ebay tomorrow.Sorry by the way, works computer has something wrong with it and doesn't let me have any lines in between in posts or go advanced,very annoying.

    No progress on POA.:o Am now halfway to a Dyson on ipoints tho for about a £30 spend and lots of clicking.... I do recommend ipoints if you are not yet signed up... If you join via one of us who are then we get referral points. But you get 5-10 points just for clicking on e-mails, you can also sign up to "free" stuff and earn ipoints that way too... I find it quicker than pigsback which I also do... Only on £5.26 on that tho....

    PP £ still not arrived :mad: - very irritating... £9 in M&S vouchers have arrived tho so that's good at least to go with the £14.50 I have in clubcard vouchers... every little helps:j

    Hope everyone else is doing well....

    Morning all. :)Feeling much better today. Pay day tomorrow!!! And have gone through this last months budget and should have more left over than calculated. Depending how much back pay I get, the extra will either all go towards credit cards or half and half towards that and possible weekend away in January.So it's all been worth while. :)POA is not going so well. Been really busy this week after work with various things and haven't had time to list on ebay. I think I have to do it on Saturday now. Would it be better to do a 10 day listing so the items don't finish on week Saturday? Probably not the best day.

    Going off to pay 8p today!DH credit card which we cleared over the phone has had 8p of interest added to it! And they sent him a letter reminding him to pay it, shocking!

    Got to go and see letting agent about our flat, and then we're thinking of going and looking at a new flat anyway as our contract is up in january.
    Ebay I'm going to try to do tomorrow, and then I've got to catch up on two dooyoo reviews today.

    Thats about it moneywise really.....
