The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Dinah93

Well we managed a staggering 1 listing. Turbolister required about 2 hours of updates!!!

So doing them tomorrow night instead, and taking tonight off.

Not sure how I'll survive with the forums down for a whole 2 hours tomorrow!

Hmm, I'd have been happier if I'd got a few reviews done but there's always tomorrow I suppose. Ebaying took 2 hours, but admittedly that included a lot of faffing. Now going to try and drag myself away from other people's listings on ebay and see if I can get an early night for once.

Shame about the turbolister Dinah, glad I didn't try it after all, I was bamboozled by the normal lister!

OU sounds great Cinny. Are you sure you don't want to do a baking course? That would be so cool.

Well done with al the ebaying, I have been filling out an MS survey. It takes me years - I don't know how you lot do 12 in a day! It's been a hard week at work, everything has been going wrong and boss has been a grizzly beast, so glad to be off tomorrow.

Yes I am definitely heading to the Uke fest Tete! It was so funny walking down brick lane with a uke troupe singing and playing the other night.

shame your ebaying want too successful guys! I did a few more and now I think I have abut 27 listed (all 99p things though lol) but hey! I think 7 of them have a watcher each too so thats pretty good!
Have to find some more stuff fr tomorrow though!
Submitted a form today for payment for some work I did which will be nice for the kitty!
Also had a good globaltest market survey so am over the 1000 points and have cashed in, (takes ages to get the cheque though!)!
I sorted out my halifax card I think thanks guys! Just went on the halifax website and I think I'll pay from there when I need to!
Not a lot else happened here really, had a nsd though! (my 4th this week! - Mainly because I've been at work all day!)
I planted some plants today too (that has been on my list for sooooo long!)
I didnt do my job forms though and now my laptop has died so I have to wait untill tomorrow to get my CV etc, might do it in the morning.....

Anther thing, I looked at all of my accounts today, and I have decided on my savings target! I think I would like to have £500 more in my icici account by OHs graduation on the 7th of July (but then I can spend some of it on a grad gift --- any ideas? I want it to be something nice and keepy but also not to expensive / I might pay for some professh pictures?!)
[He gets his result tomorrw and I'm s frightened!!]

I should have 2 weeks of work and some extra hours if I can... and very few spends really before then!
So I want t have £500 in savings, but still the same amount I have in current account (if you get me? Its about £250 at the mo')

Anyways, I think that is it, I shall go and add t my siggy! xx

Good luck with saving the extra £500 Tink! For your OHs Grad present couldn't you get a snap of you and him together on the day they have it printed onto a canvas?

Already got a bid on my shoes! Only at 99p so they best go up Managed to part with some more books for Amazon last night too.

No work to do so far today, but I live in hope! Will click around dooyoo and do some ratings.

Morning, just logged into ebay and I already have 7 watchers on 6 items so I'm pleased with that, although I know they still may not sell or will only get one bid on and sell for 99p!

I'm aiming to churn out a couple of reviews today. If I get more than two written I'll submit them across the weekend...

Is the uke fest this weekend then Lara? Hope the weather stays good for it, it's things like that that make me wish I lived in London!

Tink that's quite an ambitious target and timescale, good luck with it. I think Cinny's idea is a lovely one!

Described one skirt so well I ended up scrapping the listing and putting it back in the wardrobe!!

Brilliant! Glad the ebay is going well, despite a bit slow... I need to be more ruthless with my stuff - I swear I've been through it about four times but I'm being too sentimental. I made a deal with OH that for every new thing I bought I would get rid of two! I went shopping with my mum yesterday as I don't have anything suitable for work and I budgeted £100 to buy everything I need, but I only ended up with two tops - I guess that's always the way And my lovely mum paid for one of them anyway!

The OU sounds like a good step forward Cinny, since then you can do it at a time to suit you and not clash with the other office girl.

That sounds good Cinny, especially if you're motivated to work at home and I'm sure there will still be plenty of time for baking!

Uke Fest?! Sounds cool! I like random events - I accidentally ended up in the middle of the naked bike ride the other weekend. I wasn't naked!

That's so true, I always see so much stuff I want when I'm skint but whenever I have some spare cash they just start designing really ugly clothes!

Nearly missed work today as mum usualy wakes us up, but left to take the school kids to London early, so we just didn't wake up!

Making dinner for the boys tonight, have decided to keep it simple, doing chicken mole, sweet potato and sweetcorn mash, and then roasted peppers and carrots. Going to make the Hummingbird banana cheesecake too, recipie seems really quite cheap, not many ingredients when you look at it. Think they'll need feeding tomorrow too, so gonna go with fish pie and veggies since mum might be back but doesn't eat meat, and its about as quick and easy as you get, then I'll just bung something out the freezer in for me as I don't eat fish.

Cinny - I read a little article in Look magazine last night about a woman who started up a cupcake business and thought of you!

Tink - sounds like a good plan with the savings, a photo is a good idea for the present, or a nice photo frame for his graduation photo

Tete - good luck with the reviews, I am hoping to go over the 40,000 mark today

Poddle - it does seem when you actually have the money that you can't find anything you want

Dinah - the dinner sounds really nice!

I just had an e-mail this morning to say my cheque is on way from envirophone. OH was very exciatable this morning as is his last morning at his job, he has a week off next week and then starts his police training!
