    Roll on Thursday indeed! You must be so excited!

    OH won £200 today, It's moments like this I can't complain about his gambling! Quite needed too as budgets were looking tight for this month. He says he's going to try and live off of just that £200 till the end of the month, which sound be easily done.
    Paid my cheque into the bank, got my passport forms sent off and picked up some leaflets about savers this afternoon. Saw the free movie too, Gigantic, I have to say it was pretty rubbish! No real story line, the actors had zero emotion which didn't help things. Was a pretty full cinema to start and some people walked out. Knackered now but it's way to hot to sleep! Scribbled up a to do list for tomorrow, really should try harder to sleep, only got about 5 hours last night.

    Bah humbug day. Got the quote back from the wedding place I visited on Friday. They added a 'event organisation fee' of £10.65 +VAT per head! Can't believe the lady 'forgot' to mention that.

    Hey Cinny well done on the healthy eating.

    I got my first MS accepted, check me I have a massive score of 12 now, lol ..... Realised I will be needed in work full time in September, so should earn stacks of extra cash which will make up on my poor show on the £5 a day challenge. I take my hat off and bow to those on the £10 and £20 per day - it's hard work. Also I can't remember who asked, but I count the money as I earn it, to keep me motivated.

    Awful about that plane, so strange it just disappearing.

    Night night!

    Enjoy your new car Poolie x

    Is sulking, never manages to bag the £40 nice meal jobs...boo hoo

    TPAx

    Good morning everyone

    What a lovely day again. Feeling a bit more upbeat today and Capital One statement should be out today so I can see it below £3400 :T I can't wait. I've been searching for more polls and surveys to do and scouring the MS sites. I know what you mean TPA, I never get any decent jobs either. Last year I earned a grand total of £99 doing them, which hardly seems worth it when you're slaving over your tax return. I'd like to get a bit more this year but only had one so far. Keep looking at RE where I've probably been the longest serving probationer in history but they only send jobs for Thirsk or the very south of South Yorkshire so no chance. Oh well, I'll think of another idea at some point and will just have to stay focused on my £10 a day challenge.

    Have a good day xx
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    Logged on to RE this morning, very excited to see 59 available jobs. However once I filtered out those in Limerick or Dublin, this came crashing down to 11!

    Still, 11 is better than nothing! But a big drop from almost 60.

    Just been looking on the website for the coach holidays me and OH are using, noticed they're doing a 4 day New Years trip to Paris for £189pp if anyone's interested I'll post the link, just thought it was a good deal!
    Did a pretend booking for the Disney Holiday, good news is the deposit is only £150 for me and OH, so I can get that on the CC when it comes then clear it in time for the rest of the payment.

    Will have to have a look at RE at some point this morning (or put it on my to do list when I get home) I'm already with another MS company.. forgot which one though..

    Just printed off a recipe for Iced ginger shortbread, my to do list is growing by the second! Only wish I could put this energy into my work list. :rolleyes: Best get going, being ordered to make cups of tea.

    Ooo I also got 3 MS with RE this morning, although I have to call up to proceed for 2 of them. Weird.

    Well done with the debt-busting Pilchard.

    My friend is shooting her music video on Sunday, and I said I would do the catering. So today I am going to be looking through cookery books and licking the pictures.

    Cinny you should definitely become a baker, that would be super cool.

    :rotfl: Recipe !!!!!! indeed! And Cinny those iced ginger things sound scrummy!

    Morning everyone, another gorgeous day. Been looking at the Paris weather forecast and it's bright sunshine until Saturday when it turns to heavy rain :rolleyes: So much for sandals and pretty dresses :(

    I might have a little look on RE even though Dinah will obviously clear out any jobs going around here. If I could get things in shops in Boro I can do them on my lunch hour, but don't really understand how MS works yet.

    Cinny that's a really good deal for new year, are you going to go for it?

    Oh and Lara, I thought that fee wasn't too bad, until I got to 'per head' - it's shocking - I can understand having different fees for say groups of 50 to groups of 300, but organising somthing for 70 people is no more difficult than 50, yet they want to charge you £200 extra?! :mad:

    Enjoy your statement when it comes through Pilchard, and Poolie, are you not a little bit sad clearing out your car?

    LOL! Just don't get too carried away! How cool that you're catering for a music video, fun!
    I forgot I had an account with RE! Just updated all of my details and shopper area thingies so hopefully I'll be able to pick up a job next time I remember to log on!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
