    Morning everyone,

    Feeling a bit tired this morning and meant to be going to a party after work. Will probably just stay for a couple of drinks so I am not back too late.

    Transfered £7 this morning to the OD fund, edging close to the £500 mark

    Just did a survey and managed to redeem for a £25 cheque on a survey site. Been a member of it for ages but has taken me a couple of years to reach that point. So now I am waiting for three cheques!

    Had 10.75 from a survey site in my account today. Only 18 quid away from the end of this installment for the OD. Part of me is very tempted to just round it up to that so I can start the next one. Actually think I might do that now!

    Went to a work party for the launch of a music channel last night. Was a good party and lots of free drinks so didn't spend any money. Am tired and hunover now though!

    Am really pleased to have that installment paid off. Would be great if I could have paid the last lot off by christmas but we will see what happens.

    Have had a bit of a rubbish week in terms of doing money making stuff, but been ill and hungover etc so hopefully will get some more done the rest of the week.
  • Glad you had a nice time at the party chick, sounds like it was a great night!

    Don't beat yourself about money making stuff, you always do so great and deserve a bit of a rest. I wish i was more like you when it comes to doing money making stuff, instead i get bored and give up!

    Hope you feel better soon hun.

    Ahh well I don't feel like I do that brilliantly compared to some people on here but i do try!

    I think you are less motivated if you are debt free. You will have to get working on saving for your teeth stuff!

    I e-mailed the bingo company as my withdrawel is srtill pending. They e-mailed back saying I need to phone them. I rang but couldn't understand the woman at all so going to ring back later, hope I manage to get it sorted.

    I spoke to the bingo people and they said it was something to do with confirming my address, and have to ring back during the day tomorrow. Hopefully will be sorted.

    Have managed to do some moneymaking stuff tonight and done some surveys and also done my Bingoport which i havent done for a few days. Also have managed to do some washing and ironing so feeling a bit more on top of things again.
  • I hope you manage to get the bingo win sorted, sometimes bingo companies can take a long time to pay out as you need to confirm so many things, but once thats it gets to you fairly quickly!

    Yay - don't ya just love ironing......NOT! I hate it, just spent the last hour doing it, least most is done now.
