The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

I really don't think I'll ever go MS mad, only because Dinah and NIM take all the MS in my area because apparently all of North Yorkshire is their turf! LOL! I'll just maybe do a couple a month, that's my version of going MS mad! I'm currently averaging at about 3 a year! It isn't too difficult, it just takes a lot of being observant and taking note of timing and names etc, I'm not too subtle when I'm doing it as I keep checking my notes for what to look out for!

I might buy a lottery ticket actually Poddle, I never have before but I am feeling a bit lucky!

How much MSing can you do before you have to pay tax on it? Or is it like extra work, if you're earning over the thresholld anyway you have to pay regardless? What about the ones where you don't get a fee but get a free meal or whatever? Might have a read on the MS threads...

Only did 2.5 miles and the Dreadmill gave up on me! :rolleyes: I was doing pretty well too.

Wizard Tete, sounds like todays been your day! I agree with Poddle, go get a lottery ticket. Or a scratchcard!

I don't know what to do now, the running was my afternoon plan!

Tete_en_l'Air

Ooh maybe a scratchcard, I like scratching them off

You were obviously too harsh on the poor old dreadmill! How about a well-earned sit down for the rest of your day? I went on the rowing machine for the first time today and my shoulders have already seized up

Thats one seriously moneysaving bar of chocolate Tete - I'm thrilled for you, I love it when little bits of luck club together to make one big bit of luck!

We were seriously unhealthy Birdie as we had a pizza MS for lunch, and even had to get a huge sharing pudding too!

North Yorkshire isn't our turf really, we only did the army jobs cos such a great fee, we tend to monopolise Teesside. NIM has 21 MS lined up for this week, I only have about 5. Still all the jobs this week come to about £190, and 8 of them are bookies so a bit of a chance to win a little more too.

NIM will find out today (hopefully) if they decided he is 'genuine' enough to get the job (his problem is too honest and moral, so I find this a bit funny!) in the call centre office. Fingers crossed.

We worked out this morning if he gets that job we'd need to do the £20 a day challenge each month to hit our house deposit target, but that's not too awful. At the moment we're going crazy trying to get that as a minimum just to make ends meet, and we're only putting away about £500 a month, way below the £1700 we're aiming to do... so, if I don't talk again till after 9pm today, it's cos I crossed too many parts of me and fell off my chair, and am lying in a concussed heap still trying to cross more body parts.
