    Popeye won another £5 on BB :j:j
    He thinks his strategy is OK, but wondered why he won nothing yesterday :confused:

    And I have set myself a target.
    We haven't budgeted for my flight in February, currently showing at £1,050 :eek: but possibly cheaper in January, so not bought yet........

    So I must "earn" an extra £1000 before the credit card bill needs to be paid, February 23rd 2010.........

    Today I did two more mystery shops :D and got a couple of Christmas presents. It was a fabby assignment. The nearby shopping centre/outlet seems to have been the client and when I logged on there were about 20 shops available there this week. I was very good and chose only 2 of the shops, but both were useful to me.:D And Popeye has "bought" me an ace present as he usually does ;)

    Good luck with the "flight" challenge - you can do it!! M/Ss sound pretty decent too - mine are soooo boring at the moment, but needs must and all that!

    Nah, I'm going to revel in the death of my debt for the rest of 2009 first......:rotfl:

    Thanks Shaun :rotfl:Medallion [STRIKE]Man[/STRIKE] Sheep :D

    Well I added up my extra earnings so far this month :

    Amazon £12.20
    Mystery shopping £50.48 from one company and £15 from the other.
    (I've included my re-imbursements because these were things I would have bought anyway :o )
    Dress agency - nothing, but it has only been a week :rotfl:
    Mobile phone recycled £15
    Quidco £14.09 (may increase.....)
    Topcashback £14.
    Surveys £8 in vouchers

    So I'm w a y short of the £1,020 I need at only £128.77 :rotfl:

    If I get a Christmas bonus (and I'm working my notice so :confused:) I was thinking of counting that.........:o

    I agree.
    But it's a very odd company really.

    But as the finance manager (dont laugh ) I run payroll.........
    Normally by this time he's decided how big the bonus will be so that I put aside enough money.......so I have a sneaking suspicion it will be £0 and maybe paid in February when I've gone :rotfl:

    It's been a tough year though and cashflow at times has kept me awake at night (and it's not even MY cashflow :p) Despite that we have made a profit so there *should* be a bonus.......
