    Hi Emily - there's a Slimfast diary freebie - have a search on the freebies thread and I think they're still open? It's not small though (A5 size) but actually really nice for a freebie! Well done on the AQA and the mystery shopping - no stopping you! :)

    Thanks for that :A - I've ordered one, I think it will be a good one to keep on my desk at work and maybe I could just keep a note on my calendar at home.

    I've just listed 5 items on Ebay which will all finish on Sunday. I estimate that they will get me £30-£40 in total :D

    I'm off to work on AQA now - I'm aiming to get to over £200 before the end of the evening :D

    Been reading your thread. Think youve been doing really well. Congratulations on all your hard work. You ought to enter that competition about best debt dieter if you havent already. You should stand a good chance and £500 would make all the difference to you.

    Woohoo - have had a great day - I won a Playstation 3 with 3 games and other accessories :D:D

    I know that I could sell it and make about £400-£500 but I'm going to give it to my boyfriend as he does so much for me in terms of lending me money sometimes and he really wants one.

    What would everyone else do?

    Hi Emily

    If it was me I would sell the playstation, and maybe buy a present for the bf with a smaller amount.
