Hi BTD! Glad to hear you're feeling more chipper this weekend!

I do a big online shop once a month - often about £250-ish - I get all the really boring stuff, like tins, kitchen paper, loo paper etc. Not sure it saves me money, other than only paying one delivery charge, but it really saves time, which is important to me. But am sure it prevents impluse purchases, so that's good, too. Though you do have to make sure you've got space to store it all when it arrives - for instance I generally get about 25 tins of value/basics chopped tomatoes, about 16 packs of 6 roll kitchen paper etc!

I know what you mean about motivation...if you mean DFW motivation, that is. I've worked out that I can clear my debts by next April, which is about 6 months earlier than I originally thought, but that's just by sticking to my regular payments. If only I could be motivated enough to do eBay and more surveys etc, it might be that I could bring that forward a bit. But I do find it really hard to be sufficiently motivated enough to do that, as I guess I'm happy enough with clearing it all by next spring, and anyway, you can't always be sure what you'll make on eBay, and I do find it all a bit stressful when it comes to the parcelling up etc. So for me, it kind of feels like it's not worth it. What I do make sure is that I stick to my budget, as if I can't bring in anything extra, I have to make sure I can maintain my payments, so can't just splurge on things, which was my original downfall anyway, so just as well!

Agree with you on the weather - I neeeeeed some sun, and soon.
