    Morning everyone.

    Sounds like i was the only that had control of the tv last night (but thats only because OH was at work!).

    Got a day off today, but going to be busy busy busy.

    Im upto £6.95 on ciao, so my aim is to get up to £10 on that before i withdraw any money. I did quite alot of rating last night on dooyoo and ciao while i was watching the xfactor so hopefully will start seeing the benefits from that soon.

  • Gah, it's payday but I've gone and lent my memory stick with my projected spends spreadsheets on to OH! So I can't figure out my money! How annoying!

    (Is it very sad that this has actually 'ruined' payday for me?!)

    It is a little sad, but it's the same for me! I like everything laid out in front of me when I get paid.

    You're doing great on Ciao Flower - really need to get my finger out on there today!

    OH gets paid this Friday so I'm starting to bug him about budget, he says he has a rough idea of what's going where so I just need to trust him. The clearing debt before Xmas has gone out the window - we're looking around Feb time now.

    Just sent off for a freebie to review - hoping I get it as it's Simple Facial Wipes and which I'm almost out of! Also adding some more stuff to my 'to do' list as I'm wanting to get my blog running properly so I can (maybe) get sent a few freebies to promote. Need to start 'networking' on there though so I get a few followers ect!
  • I've made a few notes on a post-it, but now I'm not even seeing OH tomorrow night anymore so proper budget-looking-at will have to wait til Sunday. Gah!

    My Ciao aim for today is to get a green blob! I seem to rate loads and make a fair few comments, then when I go back to my account I've only got about 4 more points!

    I sometimes read a few blogs if I link into them from something else but there does seem to be a community type thing with them as well that I could never keep up with. How do you go about getting free stuff??? I'm thinking of doing a Project 365 type thing on Flickr in 2010 and might keep a sort-of diary in that way, see if anyone reads!

    Ooh Cinny, could you look at Debt-free by Valntines, as you'll be saving for a love-nest once he's debt-free won't you?

    Aww, Debt Free by Valentines would be cute! Will put it forward to him later, he has a squishy-romantic side so might go for it!

    I love the 365 project on Flickr, I might do it too if you do! Might have problem with it though as my days are pretty much the same! :o

    I think with blogs you just need to throw yourself into the groups, they always seen pretty lovely! With the blogs you can either make money from adverts (although you'll need loads of followers for this to be worth while!) or companies contact you an send you freebies to kind of promote - but you need a fair few followers for this too.

    I've found this site though which do full size freebies, you need to post 1 review on the day to get the freebie. Plus you'll be able to review it on DooYoo + Crosspost on Ciao for extra money. So it's Win, Win, Win really!

    Mine too but that would be part of the challenge I think!

    That beauty site looks brill, I might sign up myself! 82 points away from a green blob now on Ciao, losing the will to live!

    I have had quite a productive morning. I have done a dooyoo review, posted one on ciao and done all my rating. Have also done BP. Going to check for any surveys now.
  • I was about to say 'Do you actually do any work?!' but remembered you're off. Since 8.30, I've spent about 30 mins doing work :o
