    I've uploaded dooyoo review - I hope to get a couple more written today. My aim is to build up a bit of a reserve of reviews this week, that I can then use over the next three or four weeks. I am about £7.50 away from payout at the moment, so should get there this week.

    I know it's severely frowned upon to the point of being kicked off Dooyoo, but I've got a stash of reviews... As long as they're re-written a little so it's not direct plagarism, could all of us on here "actively assist" (I didn't use cheat! :D) to allow us to post reviews a little easier...

    Morning! Another coffee loather here (hope I'm allowed to stay on this thread, lol).

    I'm also a coffee loather, but I make that up through copious amounts of Coca Cola at the weekends! :j

    On another note! Hello All! :hello:

    I'm just getting to grips with my new job... It's a little bit of hell and rubbish mixed into one... I've never seen a recruitment department treated with as much contempt as I have with this one! Recruitment agencies, line managers and staff.

    We follow the working principles that the company have set up but still nothing but contempt! :mad: The good thing is, I'm off out of there for a multitude of reasons:

    3rd August: Jury Service
    End of August: Leaving as I got the Newham Grad's project manager job! :jTwo year, fixed term contract doing various projects accross the borough!
    September: My parents are paying for my rent as they want me to have the whole month off so I can actually have a break for relaxing and chilling out. Which means I'm going to try and earn some money from medical research and other things like that!


    Hope everyone is well! Sounds like everyone is having a busy old time!

    I would be very very of using other people's reviews, walshy - I know it would be a great idea, but dooyoo are so hot on any hint of plagersism, that I would hate to run the risk of what is proving to be a good earner for me. So, in the nicest possible way, thanks but no thanks!

    Congratulations on the new job, and hurrah for fab parents who will pay your costs for a month :T Sounds a really good opportunity!

    I have been to Tesco, for the weekly shop. Kept just about to my budget so I think I will be within my grocery challenge budget for July, which is great, considering we have had more people in the house than initially expected...school hols.....etc etc :T That gives me a bit of confidence to try and reduce it a little bit from September (August will be difficult because of holiday etc), so I am happy with that!

    I am a little concerned about the amount of coffee-loathers springing up on my thread.....I will have to re-educate you all!

    Afternoon, yes and no!

    Went to look at one the Georgian one it is stunning although kitchen smaller than the photos looked (as always) The garden is definitely smaller than I need (?want) Beautiful location and very tempting in many ways.

    Didn't go to barn as I really think its to much money for me and didn't want to fall in love with it. Although I still keep looking longingly at the details. So may have to sucumb. Perhaps after I've had a chat to a mortgage broker to see my likely payments etc :rotfl:

    I missed this weeks EDP sort of lost count of days and thought its was Thursday on Friday :o You spotted some good ones though?

    I saw a couple of good ones - more city based though, so probably not what you are looking for. I would def have got the details though, had I been debt free and saving......

    The Georgian one didn't look too big to start with, so I am not surprised it was smallish in real life. Could you extend in due course. If the location is good, you might need to compromise somewhere?

    They have planning permission for a ground floor extension :j but that would shrink my garden yet further :rolleyes:

    Compromise, compromise what does that mean?!

    Are you planning on looking as soon as debt free or aiming to clear mortgage some and have bigger deposit?
