    :o We succumbed to the meal deal curries in the pub last night. :o
    There goes my profit on the MS :rotfl:

    But today is the beginning of a new month and I've given myself a good kick up the backside as we're on the home straight now and should be blasting this debt out of the water.

    So in the month of May I'm going to:
    • do on-line surveys -at least 2 a day
    • do mystery shops -try and get a couple each week
    • not buy takeaways :o
    • not waste any money on anything! :o:o
    • list on e-bay -5 a week
    • list some books on Amazon
    At the end of the month I'll total up what I have earned........
    At least it will indicate whether those "small things" which I am so proud of, make a measurable difference :D

    Things generally seem to be heading in the right direction - I dare not look at my January aims.......:eek:

    IIRC, one of your aims was to run the marathon in a decent time? ~sorted ;)

    The missing tax disc renewal reminder has been found.
    DD had taken it back to university - almost as if she were going to buy her own tax disc :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    there goes that flying swine.

    But I managed to renew it on-line without the reminder. :D

    And I am on target to do do 2 MS per week in May :j
    And I've done 2 surveys (20p :rotfl:)
    So Day 1 and I've kept up with my challenge :rotfl:
    (except the one about not buying a takeawy, cos that's what tonights MS is :D - did I mention that I'm getting a Pizza??)

    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    So Pizza last night - not my favourite takeaway but free :beer:
    And weight loss today :o

    And today I have:
    1. menu planned and shopped (DS2 is coming home for the day either Sun or Mon :D)
    2. And potted up into toilet rolls the germinated seeds of sweetcorn, peas, broccoli (only 5 out of 000's :rotfl:) leeks and tomatoes (only 4 :o)
    3. Skyped Popeye who went out on the razzle last night and got home this morning :naughty:
    4. updated signature :D
    5. and 2 loads of washing are drying in the sunshine.
    And now I'm going to:
    1. clear the "herb" patch & plant up.
    2. plant the chitted potatoes into the sacks that Pa gave me
    3. dig out a bit more of the new bed.
    4. pop lemonade bottle cloches over the last 3 bean plants :(
    It's lovely out there, but the weeds are growing faster than anything I've planted :rotfl:

    3. dig out a bit more of the new bed. renamed the local "cat toilet" :mad: too tired yesterday......
    4. pop lemonade bottle cloches over the last 3 bean plants :(done - I *may* have saved 6 plants
    It's lovely out there, but the weeds are growing faster than anything I've planted :rotfl:

    Need to clear the front garden today - there's a good crop of dandelions sending their seeds out to the neighbourhood :o And the one man neighbourhood watch is out for the day so it's safe ;)

    Need to clean the kitchen too........I perhaps should have done my potting outside :o:rotfl:
