    So it's a new day and after a chat with a good friend I have decided I MUST get back on the MSE wagon and get those savings going up up up not down down down like they are at the moment.

    I have a week off work this week so an ideal time to get my act together. Going to start by writing a list of things I need to do this week:

    1) get my old car on the internet to sell it. Not worth a huge amount but should net me around £1500.

    2) get back into writing Dooyoo reviews, again not mega bucks but close to my next £50 pay out which will be another nice addition to the savings account.

    3) Check my online account, payday today so need to sort out a budget for the month and stick the excess in savings.

    4) Work out a standing order from my wages each month to go into my savings account.

    5) Get some stuff on Ebay. I have loads to sell so no excuse at all!

    6) Get my avon books out to people to get some orders in, won't make mega bucks but every penny counts.

    7) Sort out home insurance through quidco, I may get my cash back in about 6 months lol.
