    Hi Jolly
    Just read your diary and popped in to say hello. You sound so motivated and determined to keep on track :T - the way I feel right now so let's hope we can keep it up. I've subscribed to your diary and will keep popping in to see how you doing too.

    Thanks Primula, sorry if it bored you to death - I do tend to ramble away. It's my way of getting everything out of my system though.

    Been so busy tonight registering for surveys etc not had time to post but will do a nice post in the morning. I'm falling asleep here.

    Hopefully our pots challenge will make things even better for us in time!

    Being back at work is limiting my time being able to potter about this site, finding it frustrating as have become quite addicted to this place :D Find myself lurking near midnight instead of being tucked up asleep....oops!

    Anyhow, I won't stop it as find this place so enjoyable at the moment and very inspiring.

    So aims for today.....
    • general tidy of flat as OH friend staying tonight
    • hang out LAST wash load to dry :j
    • go for a run
    • research more re cashback, free money sites etc
    • start tackling my ironing pile
    Yesterday I didn't do too great on my things to do but I did say I was having a lazy one! Did manage the meal planner though through to Saturday so I guess that is something.

    Have been busy though, surfing and registering with cashback sites etc. Greasy palms is a great site!!

    Have also registered for free daily scratch card - 10p yesterday and 10p today- every bit helps. If I have 10p wins every day for the rest of the year its an extra £35.90 towards my debt :T

    So so motivated at the minute :j

    Oh and forgot to say, being a very long time lurker prior to posting I registered with YouGov a while back and completely forgot about it - logged back in last night and have £4.00 sat there :j Will be keeping up to date with that, if only I hadn't ignored their emails for the past 6 + months might have been more :mad:

    Evening,

    Well finally sat down to my lap top and you lovely guys :D I've started to look forward to this part of my evening, how mad am I :confused:

    Hi Lemon, how are you? I didn't know you could do that!?! Which do you subscribe?

    Managed today -
    • clean and tidy all the flat
    • fold my ironing neatly - it's a start;)
    • lots of research re cashback - info from eagerlearner - thank you:T
    Haven't mananged the run, just feel so tired this week. I MUST go tomorrow evening...before I hit the wine :p

    Feeling so super organised at the moment, am now going to try and get my head around the daily click things. Wish me luck xx

    Good luck Jolly! Your diary is so positive and you do seem super organised so well done you already. :T I laughed when I ready you had folded all your ironing neatly – I do that too – sort it all out into nice “piles” of everyone’s and then into little bundles of t-shirts, jeans etc.! Somehow it looks so much better like that! Have a lovely jolly thrifty weekend!

    He he, i'm glad i'm not the only one Primula - it makes me feel better ;) I am feeling quite organised at the moment. I think it helps posting daily on this site - keeps me in check.

    Signed up for another scratch card site today - that's two a day now so should have nice sum built up by the end of the year :T Think I am finally realising (wish I had years ago) that thing don't happen straight away and that it take time. I'm not (or should I say wasn't) the most patient person :rolleyes:

    Started my daily clicks today - gosh my hand is aching but it still didn't stop me. I am building myself up and getting used to each site day by day for this week only and then from next week I will hit each site every day and earn those free pennies :D

    Finished work for today but am working sat and sun - 7 day week for me but have Monday off (as I do ever other) so makes it more bearable.

    Must get sorting my pots Primula - I think we'll definately be enjoying seeing what we have saved by the end of the year and through out....woo hoo:j
