    OMG it's Sunday and I have done barely a thing this weekend, where does the time go :eek: .

    So the list for this weekend was

    - Put up Xmas tree :DDONE
    - Wrap some xmas presents
    - Write 5 more dooyoo reviews DONE
    - Review others dooyoo reviews DONE
    - Earn £10 on STP and withdraw
    - Sort out paperwork - lots to be filed away DONE
    - Collect cheques to be paid into bank on Monday DONE


    I have managed one whole thing :mad: . I spent last night laid on the sofa doing nothing watching TV, I can't remember the last time I did that and I actually quite enjoyed it. Needless to say I need to get my derriere in gear today and get some jobs done.

    I am way behind on STP but half way there on Dooyoo. Must go and do some housework first though then I will crack on.

    Evening one and all. I seem to be coasting a little at the moment. Not much money spare these days now I am single and even less with it being Xmas month.

    I need to get back into debt busting so from tomorrow I am thinking of doing the payment a day challenge. I only have one debt incurring any interest other than my loan so I need to get shot of this ASAP.

    So tomorrow I will be checking my accounts online and sending some money to that debt then I will do at least £1 a day minimum. I am sure they will hate me making these regular payments but I know if I put it aside to pay a lump sum off later I will end up spending the money on something else.

    I am rating on Dooyoo at the moment and just checked my account. Someone has written on one of my reviews that they have nominated me for a crown. Does it make me officially sad that it excited me a little lol.

    Trying to get to £5 on STP too but I seem to have lost my mojo.

    Morning one and all. Can't believe it's Monday again, where do the weekends go.

    Good news today I weighed in and I am down 4lbs from last monday. Yippeeeeeeeeee

    I can't believe it's the 15th either, Christmas is really creeping up on me. I have gone from being smug about having all my presents to feeling :eek: because I haven't wrapped any.

    Working from home today and have done a few hours already so having a MSE break for a bit to write todays to do list:

    - STP - get to a fiver and withdraw (my god I need to get this done) DONE
    - Daily clicks DONE
    - First "payment a day" payment
    - Write 2-3 dooyoo reviews and review others
    - get all the washing washed, dried, ironed and put away
    - get work clothes ready for the morning
    - sort pack up for the morning
    - wrap and deliver SILs birthday present
    - wrap at least 5 christmas presents

    Phew, not sure I'll manage all that but we'll have a go :D

  • Hi doodledo

    I am back obsessively checking my emails for AQA again hope we hear soon.

    Do join the payment a day it is very addictive and it does make a difference I was worried about what the CC people would think with all the daily payments then thought what the heck it is only a computer and for once it is nice to get a statement and see all the thank yous.:D

    Fingers crossed that all the MSEs that have applied for AQA get in I know it will make a real difference to me meeting my huge target for next year.

    Morning DT.

    I can't wait to hear from AQA I just want to know one way or another. Least if you know its a no you can just move on, I hate being in limbo. Fingers crossed we will both get through.

    It would make a huge difference to my debt repayments thats for sure!

    Well got my AQA results back and surprise suprise I didn't get it. Should have known really as nothing seems to be going my way lately. Ahh well I don't know why I failed and don't see any benefit in finding out.

    So it's on to plan B. Just need to think what plan B can be lol

    I am so sorry doodledo I still haven't heard anything yet. Don't give up though I have seen posts where people have got in on 3rd or 4th attempts it might be that they just had too many applicants. I know how you feel I will be gutted too but we can do this if we want to badly enough. A dodgy hug for you :grouphug:
