    Morning all and Happy Easter :EasterBun

    The diary went on hold over the weekend as I was visiting the future in laws and got given lots of chocolate. :j

    Whilst I was away the daily clicks were put on hold and my hotmail inbox was over flowiing with carp. Unfortunately, there were no emails to tell me i'd won a gmtv competition.:eek:

    Today I plan to have a lazy day but knowing me that won't happen. I'll probably end up cleaning the bathroom and the spare room from top to bottom. I know that I'll be tackling the massive pile of washing u[p in my kitchen.

    I'd better go and see if anyone has bought one of my precius books from greenmetrpolis - doubt it!!!

    Have a great day everyone and keep smiling.:rotfl:

    Good Morning all,

    Hope everyone had a great Easter and didn't eat too much chocolate?

    Well yesterday I ended up sending some money £4.59 on milk and bacon. I'm feeling really sleep today, it might have somethign with me trying to swim in my sleep last night :rolleyes:

    The debt free journey is still at the forefront of my mind - and I'm thinking of different ways that I can cut back - though I'm not sure how, as I make the majority of my meals from scratch, buy value stuff, go to the library, do daily clicks, hardly have the heating on.

    Oh well, I'm sure that I'll come up with some more ideas throughout hte course of the day.

    Right I'd better crack on and do some work - the brain cells just don't want to function!

    Afternoon all,

    I'm pleased to confirm I'm starting to feel wide awake and full of the joys of spring! It might have something to do with the copious amounts of coffee that I've drunk this morning!!! :confused::confused:

    I've joined the 100 day challenge, so no buying any magazines, books, toiletries or lunch at all for the next 100 days. I'm sure it's doable. It just means sacrificing the occasional lunchtime treat - which is fine by me, as last time I treated myself to a sandwich it didn't taste that great.

    The daily clicks are still going strong - yeah :T I just hope they all track. More importantly I'm half way to gettiing my £40 on onepoll :beer:. The cheque's already been ear marked to go towards paying off a debt!

    Still not sold any more books on Greenmetropolis - I've looked into list books and will give it a try. I know it was one of my chores for the Easter weekend, it got overlooked as I was busy baking cookies.

    I've also found out that the Big Weekend is looking for staff, do I or don't I apply? I'm tempted but it co-incides with my birthday. :confused: The extra money and a free t-shirt would be most welcome, but would I want to be looking after other people when I should be at home being looked after??!?!

    A small update on what's happening with my other half and his future in the RAF - his manning review process started last week and he will get an answer just before my birthday! I'm hoping that it's positive but we'll have to wait and see, his boss has written several letters to keep him in but that at the end of the day means nothing I suppose!

    I'm looking forward to lunch, crackers with cream cheese and lots of fruit. Yes I'm trying to make up for a bad weekend!

    Keep smiling and don't worry eat chips!

    Yeah - I've sold a book on Greenmetropolis - :beer: I'm averaging one a month - which I suppose is better than nothing.

    Right time to crack on with some work!

    Morning all,

    I hope everyone is ok and getting over the shock of being back at work after the Easter weekend!?

    Anyway today isn't going to be a nsd, I've got to get a prescription - no idea how much it costs now. PLus I've got to post a book - yes I've finally sold a book on Greenmetropolis. :T

    Today I intend to do all my daily clicks, surveys etc! Has anyone noticed that survey requests from lightspeed has stopped? :mad:

    Right time to crack on with some work - about 10 emails have popped through for me to deal with.

    Thank you, I'm pleased to have finally sold a book. One day I hope to have a bookcase that doens't look like it's fit to burst! ;)

    I can't get over at how expensive prescriptions are! £7.20 - and you can't even claim advantage card points!!! :mad: Oh well, fingers crossed they do the job and help me sleep. Don't worry the debts are causing me insomnia, I wiggle/talk a lot in my sleep.

    The daily clicks are coming along nicely. I've also looked at home insurance and if I do it via a cashback website, it will only cost me £10.88 for the year! How great is that? :T

    I did explain the joys of cashback websites to a few of my work colleagues, but they didn't understand the concept. Oh well, their loss not mine.

    I can't wait to go home, as I'm really sleepy and I've fallen asleep once or twice at my desk for a nano second. :eek:

    I'm pleased to report that whilst in town I didn't buy any chocolate, magazines or clothes. I even walked into WH Smith to test myself....lol.

    Right time to crack on with the next batch of emails from people asking me to do lots of different stuff.

    Keep smiling everyone and don't worry eat the remainder of your Easter Eggs!

    Morning all,

    I hope you're all OK on this horrid wet windy morning?

    I'm pleased that today is Friday, I'm looking forward to a weekend of doing lounging around the apartment in my jim jams, either watching telly, reading or doing some cross stitch. :T I so want to get the All Our Yesterdays Holiday Train completed by the summer - then I can work on completing the half finished kits - some I've inheritted from my future mother in law.

    Today I'm feeling a bit more posititve about the debt, it's there and I'm doing everything that I can do reduce my df date. I'm starting to find the daily clicks a tad boring, but it's free money so I shouldn't complain!:cool:

    Still no news on the future of my oh career in the RAF - the rumour mill has started at his station, he's been kicked out. Don't you just love it! I want to know sooner rather than later, as I've got a feeling the decision will come on my birthday - what a great present. :mad:

    I've bought my lunch in to work today - cupasoup with a yoghurt. Again everyone is going into town to spend stupid amount of money on sandiwches in M&S! They wonder why they're skint.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Right time to get cracking with some work - sorting out problems and all sorts.

    Cx

    P>S - no further books sold!

    Hi jayss,

    Thank you - it's been hard work getting there that's for sure. I just think of it as free money so to speak. :)

    The great thing is, once I've reached £40 it will be my second lot. Yeah!

    Keep at it and before you know it, you'll have reached the £40 pay out.
