    Yes, DD has bagged the big room :rolleyes: I don't need a dongle at the ski club because we have wifi access there....nice and easy!!

    Shopping just gets worse - I noticed that the big bags of pasta that were just £1 a couple of years ago, are now £4.24 at Tesco :eek: They were on offer at £2 a couple of weeks ago so I stocked up - just as well really!!

    I should come in slightly under, but only just.....and only because I have really really concentrated on what I have spent.

    But even so, the amount I have budgetted this month is higher than I had expected to spend - I thought we should be able to stick to £300 quite easily, but I put the budget at a "generous" £400, and I am going to be right up to that limit......so it just shows that my original budgets were way off - no wonder I couldn't stay in control - I was being unrealistic.

  • Thanks for good wishes, my job is safe. I hadn't realised just how anxious I was about. Not out of the woods, but clear until February 2010.

    £29 mystery shopping received today, so that has been transferred into the debt pot. I also requested my £50 from dooyoo last night after my miles had been validated, and I have finally got to £10 cashin on the scratchcards, so requested that today........

    Hope you all have a good day x

    Yep, its a good day for bits and bobs coming in. I got £54 for the mystery shopping - gotta love those phone calls! - and as for cashing out, I'm at £10.02 :eek: I need another 10p in there before I can withdraw, to be decent about it :rotfl:And I've finally switched to Virgin instead of TAB, so I can get real money again instead of bonus money - I stayed with TAB for a while, built up a balance and then played it hoping to win, but nothing - can't be bothered doing that! So I switched. 20p in there now :rotfl:

    Have a good day all.

    I've got a tiny scrap more mystery shopping money to come through, but nothing of note....I've not done that much of it recently, but even small amounts add up!
