    Didnt realise there were so many people trying to get on from here haha. Good luck to everyone (and me :))

    Have OP'd £100 today.


    Have been trying to keep up with Onep this week. Got 95p today woohoo. Am only at £26.80 but over half way.

    Have ordered some dvds for DDs birthday in october from amazon, have only got £31 vouchers on there at the moment now. Need to get my bum in gear for checking grabbit board for xmas. As she will be 10 this year I wasnt going to do a party but I might take 3 of her friends for a slap up meal. Might see if there is anything on cc vouchers I can use lol

    need to think about getting Big boss a bday pressie. Hes an action mad bloke late 50s but was thinking something funny, then his sons is following week, mid thirties. I have no idea what to get them.

    Thanks I am shattered today as didnt go bed til 1am. Had got a bed off freecycle for DS as previous one I was given didnt have all the fitting and was very wobbly bodgit job. It took me 40 mins to take off the screws I had wedged in to keep the bed safe! I was cursing big time! His new bed is soooo much better and all for free. I love freecycle :D
    I then did my ebay after that which is what kept me up later after I had done lunches etc for today.
    I am so tired but promised DS that I would go running with him. We went park the other day and to get them active I bet they couldnt run round the field. DS did it TWICE! Dont think I'll make that bet again lol. So I thought as an idea to keep me fit I might try and run with him. First day and I cant be bothered!
    He wants to then go after dinner but we are having lamb roast so thinking I might be a bit stuffed lol

    I just saw your post on that, what a bargain! I need to find good amazon bargains or try and boost up toluna to get some more vouchers.

    Just messing around - here is my house based on it being worth £110k (optimistic!)

    Cant wait to shade in the chimney ;)

    Did onepoll again, another 80p :)

    Ended up buying boss some thortons choc biscuits in the end, he is always in the biscuit tin at work. Boring I know but anything else would be rubbish to him as well, at least its not money wasted

    My house is pretty similar except I owed a bit more so I did it in months left (a horrifying 258 from when I am to start in October).

    I don't have a chimney though - I feel sadz!!!
