    Tenacious T reporting in!!

    Awwww I love my new name setmefree2. Can I change it forever, is that possible on here?

    Had our house insurance renewel through, £349.96 for contents and buildings insurance:eek:. Have done a bit of hunting around and mananged to get same cover for £146, includes accidental damage. Also get £45 cashback, so £101 not bad for a years cover.....am well pleased with myself!:T

    We have been having problems with our internet connection for a while, its so slow. So following Martins:money:advice we are going with 'plusnet' £28 cashback too!:T

    Worked two extras this week, so that will be a nice bonus in about 6 months when they pay me:mad::rotfl:

    Managed to pick up a couple of extra 'mystery shops' but theres not alot around in my area at the moment:mad:

  • OK, as tomorrow is the start of a new month I feel a little TPA (sorry TT) challenge coming on. Firstly when our new broadband conection is up and running I want to get back to ebaying. Have been unable to do this for ages due to slow connection of my 3 dongle (he he thats ounds rude, or is that just my immaturity?)

    My 'extra shift job' stops from next week and will not pick up again until September at the earliest, so in desperate need of 'up-ing' my income.

    So Mays targets are as follows:
    • Ebay anything thats not screwed down...now much do you think I can get for hubby? Ahh, thats right no live stock allowed on ebay, so nothing!:rotfl:
    • At least 3 mystery shopping jobs per week.
    • Cut down on 'grocery spending'
    • Boot sale anything that cannot be ebayed.
    • Send dog out to work -chimney sweep perhaps, or I could hire him out as a personal trainer, catch him if you can:rotfl:

    16!!!!!! crikes, I've got 11 and thought that was good! Missed one as couldn't do Sunday, but I have 5 on Sat :eek:, including 3 in one town - need to do a purchase & then refund after 45 mins so will spend some of money on a nice cup of coffee as can only do 1 other in 45 min period, the other is on the outskirts.

    Good fun though :)

    Erm make that 19 now:eek:. Trouble is 4 of them are on Saturday and we have visitors this weekend, good job they like shopping. Its the reports after I find most time consuming, will have to get visitors playing on the Wii whilst I write up reports:rotfl:. The following weekend we have meals on Saturday and Sunday and some other bits n bobs in between.

    Gally, I hate the ones where you have to return the item. I do have one of those on Saturday though, but then another shop 2 doors away...must remember best order to do things in. Have you noticed lots more wanting photos now? Talk about obvious!

    Thanks for your concern, just back today from US and had delay at Heathrow as someone who had been in Mexico was ill, another flight with the cabin crew calling for anyone from the medical profession.... medical teams etc came to see the guy upon landing. Obviously we were all allowed off, mentioned it to work and they've told me to work from home tomorrow! I think it's an over-reaction but that's 54miles of petrol saved, which in my car is 2gallons and being jet lagged I'll just do a short day.

    I'm impressed at the number of mystery shops you've scheduled; being a typical male this particular activity doesn't appeal that much - unless it's online shopping :rotfl:
