OK weekly shop done today a grand total of £37.17 which included £5 on a large box of dishwashing tablets and a tray that cost £6.84:eek: (but its a nice tray with legs:p ) so actual shopping under £30....if only I could do that every week...sigh.....

Just signed up for my first 'mystery shopping' 3 in total its tough going you need to remember so much...and I may end up looking like a burger:cool: Need to register for tax purposes now, as in my main job they tax me at source does anyone know if I need to include this on my tax forms as it could get complicated..or will they just accept this happens and let me acknowledge the extra jobs I do??? Sorry im not sure that made sense!!

Strange week yet again!

OK, these were my targets:

• Take lunch for the three days I am working (have two days A/L) Only managed two days -Greggs called me on the third:rolleyes:
• Sort out some money making things, join sites that pay for reviews etc Joined three 'mystery shopping sites & have booked 3 jobs so far
• Sort house and get it valued:mad: err domestic jobs..pants! Spent all day Tuesday doing this!
• Work one extra evening Done
• Sort expenses and claims for extra hours Done - they owe me £££!
• Advertise some more tat - AKA lovely unwanted items Done and sold a further £35 worth
• Sort presents for: 2 x mothers day (early I know but needs to be done this week) sister in laws birthday, in-laws Ruby Wedding anniversary, I have a present drawer but i'm not sure it will have things for all these events:rotfl:Now this is bad, spent £170 on a TV for the MIL bedroom!! OMG Although she is having a big op next week and will need lots of bed rest afterwards, so hoping this will ease some of the bordom for her

Also hubbys wages stretched further than I could have imagined so he has put £1,500 into savings this month:T
We got confirmation of the 7% ISA regular saver deal:T Very pleased with this

OK target for next week:

• Am working 4 days, so lunch to be taken at least 3 out of the four days
• Work extra evening
• Try to get to grips with tax
• Shop around for some deals for my car insurance
• Advertise more items!
• Sell at least half of the said advertised items:p
• Decorate dining room - yes i chicken out this weekend!
• Book more 'mystery shopping' jobs

Ok, thats a big enough list for me!

Hope everyones well

Did a complete count up of all the money work owes me other than my basic wages...it comes to a massive £1650!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure wether to be excited:j ot just annoyed :mad: that they take so long to pay! I'm sure it will come to me in dribs n drabs over the next few months, but i'm impatient and its MY money that should be in MY savings accounts! I am thinking I might have a 'little' blow out when the main bulk comes through, I would love a CD player for the kitchen, I have a nice one in the living room but I have to turn it up really loud to hear it in the kitchen and i'm not sure my neighbours have the same love for ABBA as I do!:rotfl: Its strange before I would have just gone out and bought it but now I really have to think about it, which is good...i think
Anyway a NSD for me today:j Took my lunch (mums homemade soup, yummy) and extra hours worked so Iam on track!

No items advertised yet though... must do that Thursday at the latest!

Sorry, but how can anyone love Abba??? :rolleyes:

If you want some music from that era they'll love then it would have to be Lynyrd Skynyrd, Boston or something heavier like Blue Oyster Cult or Rainbow. Of course, my musical tastes are in no way a reflection of me turning 44 last week .... mmm time for some Hendrix then Dirty Pretty Things (just to bring things up-to-date methinks... :rotfl:

Its strange before I would have just gone out and bought it but now I really have to think about it, which is good...i think

Yes it is good to consider things carefully before purchase but remember you are allowed to buy things, just ensure you get good value from them MSE-wise :A

Why not bung a request for a CD player on Freecycle? Hmmmm, not sure on either of your musical tastes though - early Rod Stewart anyone

setmefree2

Do you have a birthday coming? Anniversary? Easter gift "for the house"? or any other excuse really;)


PS I quite like a bit of ABBA and I do own Mama Mia. (French & Saunders spoof on mama Mia on comic refielf was v v funny.) Though I must hastily add that I am a Radio 1 listener and am in no way uncool in the musical taste department

Are you able to chase them up at all about getting paid the money?

i'm not sure my neighbours have the same love for ABBA as I do!:rotfl:

Tell me you don't sing at the top of your voice!?! I have a neighbour who does this...
