    Bit confuddled. What are your reg savings for? I think the levels look great though.

    That's just what I think when I start, then I get really into the product! Might try and get another review done today. Need to start building my points up again, already thinking 'presents for next year' :o


    You have exactly the attitude that i need!! Im think im going to set myself a target next year to do so many a week and save the points for amazon vouchers for birthdays and christmas. Very organised!

    The Reg Savings is just my easy access account, so I'll be able to pull money from it for Vespa insurance, holidays ect. So I want to keep it at a £500 float so I don't need to stress over things.

    Sounds like a good idea with the targets, they seem like you would be able to make them.

    I am more useless than you with dooyoo Cinny, haven't done any for ages, think I lost all my steam after the last cheque.

    DooYoo is alot of work though. Finding STP a lot better as it's kind of instant money, admittedly I'm not doing to well with it atm. Hoping tonight will give me a big boost. Keep on having dreams where I loose all my stars, had it 3 nights in a row now!

    Oookay, to do list for tonight:

    Tidy up Bedroom.
    Clean Windows!
    Switch cat bowls around*
    Sort out all my bits of paperwork and tidy the folder up.
    25+ STP tracks.

    *Been putting this off since my kitty died. Seems a bit silly my cat eating out of a massive 3 part bowl when I only fill one section up now :(

    Work has slowed down now, and I'm starting to get that Office feeling! I woke up this morning and thought 'Do I have to go back already?!' :o
  • Hi Cinny, huggles for the cat bowl, best to get it over with though.

    So does that mean you're trying to save £2k by April? Does that include the savings in your sig, so £1650? If so we have roughly the same amount to save in the same time. I bet you do better than me though even though you're part time!

    Hmm, I know what you mean Dinah about the challenges, I was pondering earlier what new challenges I'd have in 2010 ... seems like days ago I was starting my 2009 ones!

    Spotted a lovely Celia Birtwell vanity case in Boots at dinnertime, I think it could be used effectively as a sewing box ... need to find two pressies for people from there so I can get myself a 'free' pressie at the same time! :D

    There is a Celia Birtwell sewing case in the boots Christmas Catalogue. I'm hoping its still there by the time the sales start. Love boots sale. Online, no fuss (until the website crashes!)

    I saw quite a few sewing boxes when I was in Boots earlier. I don't even sew but I wanted one! :rolleyes:

    Cinny, hope the swapping of the cat bowls isn't too painful. It's hard to get rid of the little things when you lose someone or something you love. I still have someone's number on my phone even though I obviously can't ring him. Just can't delete the number yet and it's been 3 years! :o
