    Morning!! :hello:

    Feeling all giddy today with Zig getting debt free - I'm soaking up other peoples DF-ness now! Super happy for her though as she's worked really hard for it!

    Checked all my accounts this morning:

    STP @ £1.00 - DooYoo @ 9875 - BingoPort @ 4050

    Plus my banking:

    Current Account: £101.01 - Savings: £503.83 - ISA(MovingOutFund): £10 (Don't laugh, that's a toaster or something!)

    Have my To Do list written in my notepad but minus all the boring day stuff + work bits this is it:

    10 STP Tracks
    10 STP Tracks
    10 STP Tracks
    1 BeautyJudge Review
    1 DooYoo Review

    Not much, but as always I figure it'll give me a bigger chance of actually doing it!

    On another note - Did anyone watch that Gary Glitter thing last night? How weird was that?!

    :wave:Morning!

    Ooh fantastic news about clearing the CC Flower!! But have you factored in Christmas - how are you paying for that? (Don't mean to be a damp dishcloth, sorry!)

    ETA - Morning Cinny, cross post! Your £10 toaster made me smile, I was having a little look through the Tesco Direct catalogue last night, picking out all the things I'd have in my house - kettle and toaster were £70 each!

    I'm a signed up member of discount sorcerer, I don't buy anything for the house unless its at least 50% off and 4* rating or higher. Currently have £20 stored up in Amazon for the next discount sorcerer purchase, toying between some acurate scales (which will immediately be broken into!) or something more traditional.

    Sounds like it will be a Tesco Value toaster for me Tete!

    Dinah - that sounds like a good site! I'd go for traditional scales, if by acurate you mean digital - I don't get along with digital scales at all!

    Done 3 BeautyJudge reviews this morning, no idea why but I've done it!

    I have indeed. Got the money sorted for OHs christmas present, and all the presents we need to get for everyone have been budgetted for so no added debt come christmas.

    Cinny - i watched that Gary Glitter thing as well, was very strange.

    I'm not due in work unti lunch time but have been up since 8, thought i would get my BP done for the day, just about to do a review for dooyoo and ciao and then will see what else i can do moneymaking wise.

    Good idea on getting a jump start on the day Flower! Sounds like you've got Christmas sorted too!

    I thought that show was really creepy! The guy who played Gary Glitter was good though, kept on forgetting it wasn't real! (Although I blame that on being half asleep)

    Mum had a tesco value toaster for years, she swore by it and it was only about £4. Then I brought my pretty chrome one in and she took it - and killed it within about 6 months! Only 2 of the 4 filaments work now!

    I have traditional scales they're awful! Its basically guesswork to the nearest 2lbs or so which only encourages me to make up excuses! Want some decent digital ones that can give proper measurements, and tell me the % body fat/muscle/water etc.

    Can you not copy the beauty judge reviews onto dooyoo, make some money for them at least?

  • Nice one Flower, you sound like you're all sorted! :)

    Woo - Crown for my latest review :D Not bad considering I wrote it on a scrap bit of paper whilst sitting by the pool in the sun! They really seem to like it when you use headings, going to do that more often I think. Thanks for the nom Dinah :):) Anyone else this week?

    :rotfl::rotfl:It really confused me, i put it on after it had been on about 20 minutes and didnt realise it wasnt real. My lovely OH called me a dumb blonde :rotfl: and put on a really serious voice and asked how i managed to get through uni - how lovely of him!
