    Good Morning everyone,

    The sun is shining and I'm trying to be positive as to what news we're going to get tomorrow!

    Anyway the df journey is back on course and I've bought my own lunch in today and will be having storecupboard teas for the rest of the week!

    I thought I'd quickly jot down how much I've earned from daily clicks etc, so it will helpfully motivate others to do them. I'll try and remember to update it once a month - but knowing me I'll forget!!! :rolleyes:

    Pigsback - 353 and 1,230
    ipoints - 6,664.
    Onepoll - £22.25 - I've already had a cheque of £40 from them.
    Quidco - £41.15 - this is purely from daily clicks.
    Mutal Points - 1,234. I've already had a cheque of £20 from them.
    Quidsinuk - £19.40 - only 60p to go before I can get a payment of £20 :T:j
    Topcashback - £3.18.
    Getpoundsback - 55p - I don't think it's tracking that well?
    Fat cheese - 64p.

    There are some sites where I don't do every single daily clicks due to restrictions at work. :mad:

    I've been looking at my payplan just a bank thing and my df date is May 2015 - That means I'll have been doing a dmp for 9 years! 9 years! I don't think so, I'm going to reduce that as much as posssible - as long as the other half still has a job!

    Right time to crack on with some daily clicks me thinks!

    Have a good day everyone and keep it low!!

    Right just had an update on the oh future in the Armed Forces - it's over! Despite having endured a Medical Review Board he's having a normal discharge!! :mad: On the plus side, he's being paid until September.

    Suppose I;d better crack onw ith writing his CV and looking for jobs!

    I feel soo !!!!! right now, I could happily eat a massive bar of chocolate and cry my little heart out!

    Morning everyone,

    The sun has gone and it's raining! Sort of reflects my mood!

    Anyway I've received a payment of 18p from quidco which is 18p towards the Radley handbag! From browsing the John Lewis website they do Radley bags for £25 but they don't look as nice as the £135 :p

    I was up really early this morning - my insomnia is back :mad: - so I did the majority of my daily clicks. I'll need to do the remainder of the highstreet on the web ones, as I find if you do them one after another it doesn't track!!!

    On a posititve note I'll be getting max commission next month - yeah. That's going to go straight in the savings pot - thankfully we've got one months salary saved up - however we need to more me thinks!

    I've bought my own lunch in again today - left over macaroni cheese, followed by lots of fruit and a decent book to read.

    Right time for me to get on and do some work.

    Beanielou - I was shocked too when I saw a fabric radley bag for £25 - it was on the John Lewis/House of Fraiser website. I would include a link but for some reason it crashes. :mad:

    I've decided I'm going to hang on in there for a proper leather one! I must sound like a snob, but sometimes a girl has to treat herself!!! :rolleyes:

    Today was a sad day in the bookadict house, as my oh is going on his last ever trip with the RAF - he's going somewhere over the pond. Not Mexico I hasten to add, though he was on the Texas/Mexixan boader last weekend - so I do keep asking him if he's ok when he sneezes or coughs!!!

    I moved some of his uniform out of one of the draws this morning and for the first time in 2 years, I've got some space!!! I'm looking forward to clearning out the cupbaord in the hallway as again I'll have more space!! :T

    Like most people I'm soo looking forward to the extra long weekend, I really can't wait. Plus I'll be able to catch up on all my beauty sleep..:rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm hoping to set aside a day to do nothing but cross stitch, I've got a feeling that;s not going to be possible, as I'm going to virgin vie parties, bbqs and baking.:rolleyes:

    I've got to pop into town at lunchtime - which I really hate doing as it's always full of chavs and old people that like to beat me up with their walking sticks! Long story!

    I wish it was something that I could put off doing but alas not, I've got to pay some money into my first direct account as per the CCA I've signed. If I don't, my postbox will get just get filled up with !!!!!! letters from them!

    I've got under £340 to go, I want to pay it off by the end of hte year, however being on a dmp I can't show favouritism to my creditors and with the oh not having his contract extended it's looking like a pipe dream.

    This time next week, I'm going to be another year older and another year in debt! At least I know that I'm actively doing soomething about it. I just wish that my dfd was sooner rather than later - currently looking at May 2015!!!

    Some of my creditors are still charging me interest, I've got a sneaky sus!!!!ion if they weren't my dfd would be sooner! Must stop thinking about my debt and mortgage otherwise the dark cloud of depression will hover over me!

    Right time to crack on with some work and stare longingly at the radley handbags on the internet.

    Hi all,

    Hope you;re all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend? This is my last weekend by myself and I'm finding it really hard to stay focused on anything!!

    I plan to tidy the living room - again - as the windows were open yesterday there's lots of dust and sort out all my cross stitch stuff properly!! I had a quick look the other night and there were four half finished kits :eek:

    anyway i'm going to go and crack on with the daily clicks and my chores!!!

    Hi guys,

    Where's the sunshine gone? It's cloudy and spitting with rain!! :mad:

    On a more posititive note, I've sold a book and been carrying on with the daily clicks! I'm loving fatcheese - though the kayak ones are tracking intermittantly. Oh well, I've got £2.44 so almost near hte £5 admin mark.

    I'm lacking motivation today - not sure why - just am. I have a feeling it's to do with the weather and the outcome with the oh. I've got to keep smiling otherwise I'll end up a nervous reck. There's soo much to htink about and get sorted, luckily I've got next week off so we're going to crack on with this cv, register with recruitment agencies and other places. We will find him a job!!!

    I suppose I'd better crack on and do some work!

    Morning all,

    I hope everyone is ok? Where's the sun? :o

    Today is my last day as a 27 year old - I'm going to try and enjoy it as much as possible, despite all the worries at the moment with the oh. After major dramas yesterday, he will be getting paid until 14th Sept this year :T

    On the book selling front, I've sold two books in the space of two days :T:T:j that's unheard of for me, though I suppose it's all down to how many of the same book is listed.

    The daily clicks are coming along nicely, fatcheese is great and so is topcashback. Don't worry, I've not given up on the others, quidco, quids in uk, mbm etc. They're still being done. The majority of them wont be paying out until August though, but at least that's some extra pennies coming in,.:j

    I will admit now that I've been naughty and fallen off of the dfw waggon when it coomes to lunches. Marks and Spencers have been doing a meal deal for £2 and once a week, i've been getting myself one :eek: I know I shouldn't do it, but a treat every now and again is good isn't it?

    The bettle money box that holds all my pennies is almost full - yeah - however that doesnt' mean I can rush out and buy my radley handbag just yet.:rotfl:As I expect that I've only got £2.45 in there - oh well - the best things come to those who wait!!!

    Tiem for me to crack on with some work!
