Olive Oyls 12-month Countdown

OliveOyl_2

Well I'm back and we're well into Autumn :eek:

Done the banking and it is :eek::eek::eek: this month. Need to spend NO MONEY AT ALL for the next 4 weeks

Lodger has moved out, which makes the house feel like mine again, but I'll miss that money. Fortunately she left half a loaf so I've been able to make my lunch without resorting to the caff

Did a survey this morning and will now have around £48 in luncheon vouchers. Now I'd like to know where I can spend them, I'd really like to be able to get Christmas stuff with that money, without embarrassing myself

I need to get some income this month.....

I keep looking for mystery shops, but only managed ONE last month, and haven't seen any convenient for me so far in October. There must be a faster applicant in my town :rotfl:

And I have applied for a focus group - on air travel.....:rotfl::D Should be good if I can get £40 to chat about my experiences over this last year

So I may have to bite the bullet and get listing on e-bay after all.....:o

Where for art thou Olive? Have to say the totals are looking good at the moment. Just thought i would pop in to be sociable like on a Friday night, you are probably out on the raz or busy rehearsing for the play. *sigh* goes off out again.

Oi! I was fiddling with my spreadsheets

Been busy, been miserable & been around but only lurking

But I made it through the month without spending :j

How are you?

So, that's what a Friday night has brought us all to:rolleyes::rotfl:

I am getting better thanks Olive. I too have been a miserable so and so have lurked when concentration levels were good. I do find that this working all week lark gets in the way:o:rotfl:Honestly, do they not realise there is too much MSEing to do:rotfl:

Well done on the no spending....tells Mr.B and holds up as an example of what can be done.:T:D

It was pretty painful - best not to tell Mr B that :rotfl:

Thanks BeannieLou,
funnily enough I was feeling a little more upbeat today,

I guess I'm still trying to come to terms with being a reluctant ex pat in the new year.
And I've been silly enough to talk to friends who've been saying "So what will you DO all day?" Today I talked to a friend who said - "you'll have a ball"

Optimistic, positive and upbeat friends are worth their weight in gold
(should've gone to the MSE forums I know )
