What sort of things do you review? Does it pay well?
I've been doing some class things at work when I can but obviously imagining dances and routines in your head is a bit difficult!Proud to be dealing with my debts!DFW Nerd No. 634 LBM: 3rd time - Dec2008 I NEED TO BEAT IT THIS TIME!Total Loan Debt = £[strike]13,737.80[/strike] 13,042.44, Total Non-loan Debt = £[strike]5,289.33[/strike] 4,704.45 - Total= [strike]19,027.13[/strike] 17,746.89 FEB 09Freelance earnings - Feb 09 = £260 so far Make £30 a day in Feb - £260.40 of £840 5 NSD in Feb 09 - 1 of 50 -

You can review pretty much anything on Dooyoo, mostly it is products such as foods, DVDs, music, books, but there are places and restaurants and services on there too, basically if you use it you can review it, if its not there they will add it for you. It's 50p per review then 1.5p for everyone who rates/reviews your review, which is usually about 20p per review written. You can be paid in amazon vouchers or cash.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I'll give that a look - it sounds interesting. Sadly I wont be able to do any internet stuff at work now (I'm gutted I used to go on MSE when I was on my 1 hour reception stint!)
They have brought out a new IT policy and boy its strict!Proud to be dealing with my debts!DFW Nerd No. 634 LBM: 3rd time - Dec2008 I NEED TO BEAT IT THIS TIME!Total Loan Debt = £[strike]13,737.80[/strike] 13,042.44, Total Non-loan Debt = £[strike]5,289.33[/strike] 4,704.45 - Total= [strike]19,027.13[/strike] 17,746.89 FEB 09Freelance earnings - Feb 09 = £260 so far Make £30 a day in Feb - £260.40 of £840 5 NSD in Feb 09 - 1 of 50 -
Well I'm sat here having my scone (yum!) just biding my time until my new classes launch - I'm terrified. My stomach just feels sick to the core - I'm so desperate for them to go well as a) I want a successful business and b) I need the money lol!
Once I've sorted all my bills in the next few days I'm going to do a tot up of my outstanding debt and see how much its gone down since my 3rd lightbulb moment at the beginning of December! Hopefully this will help perk me up. I've had a truly awful day at work and boy I can't wait to get something else. You know when you just feel like you don't fit it and there is something just not right about a job? Or do I sound crazy??:huh:Proud to be dealing with my debts!DFW Nerd No. 634 LBM: 3rd time - Dec2008 I NEED TO BEAT IT THIS TIME!Total Loan Debt = £[strike]13,737.80[/strike] 13,042.44, Total Non-loan Debt = £[strike]5,289.33[/strike] 4,704.45 - Total= [strike]19,027.13[/strike] 17,746.89 FEB 09Freelance earnings - Feb 09 = £260 so far Make £30 a day in Feb - £260.40 of £840 5 NSD in Feb 09 - 1 of 50 -
Well something positive - I made the target for £10 a day in Jan in just 8 days!!!!!
My Fitness classes have been going so well - am dead pleased. So in light of this I'm now going for £20 a day!
Been spending a bit much lately so I need to reign back in on this.

Glad to hear that things are going well, keep it up!

Done a quick tot up of my debts for Jan and I've managed to pay off £691.76. Of course some of these included the regular loan payments but still that total is going down!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this week is going to be another fabulous week for my fitness classes - if it keeps up like it has done I'll have my debts paid off in no time! Come on!
Been playing the scratchcards this week and made £3.15 lol!

Ok I've set myself a mini challenge for this month.
I want to get my debt off by June so I roughly calculated about £1k per month to make sure I do this........so..........I'm aiming to get another £310 paid off my debts before my next pay day (as that's how I work my finances currently) so I'll be on track then for the £1k a month - can I do it??????
Must take some time this weekend to search out crap, ahem, I mean "goods" to sell on ebay!Proud to be dealing with my debts!DFW Nerd No. 634 LBM: 3rd time - Dec2008 I NEED TO BEAT IT THIS TIME!Total Loan Debt = £[strike]13,737.80[/strike] 13,042.44, Total Non-loan Debt = £[strike]5,289.33[/strike] 4,704.45 - Total= [strike]19,027.13[/strike] 17,746.89 FEB 09Freelance earnings - Feb 09 = £260 so far Make £30 a day in Feb - £260.40 of £840 5 NSD in Feb 09 - 1 of 50
