    I've been trawling the net for some money making ways. Played some free bingo today and somehow managed to withdraw £50, but I'm not counting on it until I see it in my bank account.

    Last day off today before going back to work tomorrow. Three more weeks and I have a week off. Can't wait, the place depresses me now.

    Hi to Shoe gal :-)

    Well done Jen on your ebay listings!!! my guitar hero listing finishes today got 6 hours to go and its on £43.50 with 19 watchers so fingers crossed!
    Glad you've found somewhere to live Dawn-look after your self hun, it will all be ok soon.

    Know what you mean Yukki-I'm off this week thank god! Have managed to get my jewellery back into the wedding shop that changed hands so hoping that will bring in a bit of cash. Also the first mag advert goes in in 2 weeks so fingers crossed for that as well :-/

    Have you seen anyone about a mortgage yet Jen?

    not seen anyone yet the man who was ment to phone me back hasn't so i will ring him today. i really hope most of my e bay stuff sells if it doesn't it is off to the charity shop i am fed up with it!!

    I need to start de cluttering the house as when i buy and the builders come i will have to pack the whole house up!!!

    Today is my day off so i have loads of plans... Cleaning sorting etc.

    I spent £80+ in tesco a few weeks ago (12th july) and since then i have avoided shopping and only spend £11 on food i am going to try not to go till payday which is friday i think

    Well done on getting your stuff back into the shop i hope that makes some money for you. The advert should really help you too.

    Well done dawn on getting a place i am sure you will be happier there you just have to try and be possitive and make the most of a bad situation. Did you delete hime off your facebook? Take care and keep busy!

    What you all doing today? Hope you all have a great day Jen
