    Yes it does, thank you! I've never actually bought any clothes off the internet despite how often I'm tempted to! I always have to try things on because more often than not because they look awful on... usually the more I like an item the worse it fits!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Exactly, I have a few things to put on Ebay next week that I got from Ebay and are either horrible or don't fit whatsoever! Hmph!

    I might put a few bits on ebay, mine never seem to go for much though.

    Yey, just got another 2 fee only MS, which brings me to £55 of fees this week, plus a £40 reimbursement for a nice meal. Yey.

    Evening everyone

    Hope you've all enjoyed the sunshine whilst slaving away at work :(

    Well today is the start of my PAD challenge and haven't actually got anything yet but worked out that with expenses and stuff I should manage it. Just a little question - when do you count your quidco money? I'd ask on the PAD board but I know you all better :confused: I've also decided that I'm going to be strict about spending money and see if I can go for several days without spending any. I have to pay for parking at work so I've put the change aside for that (will claim it back as expenses so it's not strictly spending) but I don't want to use the money in my purse. I'll keep you posted on that one!

    Dinah, I've never won a competition despite going through a phase on entering loads. I've decided to try and give it another go, though and see what happens this time.

    Anyway, it's nearly treadmill time (God, I'm starting to hate that thing!) so have a good evening xx
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    PAD - payment a day? Bit confused! If you mean the £10 a day challenge, I count money only when it hits my bank account, otherwise I would get very lost as I have money from all over the place.

    Hi there

    Sorry, yes I do mean the £10 a day challenge. Thanks for that, I'll leave mine until I actually see the dosh....which will be good as I'm expecting a good month so that will spur me on a bit xx

    Just realised I'm a bit of a twit.....I'm not even doing the Payment A Day challenge - think the sun's gone to my head!!!
