I know it's sh1tty but think of it as a means to an end. When you are debt free you will be able to manage on a lower monthly income as you will have less outgoings so you can look at changing careers if that's what you want. In the meantime you are doing brilliantly.:A

Also, I will have enough points on my Boots card after the shopping day to get a nice digital camera, does anyone know of a way to sell it apart from ebay? I know you can send off phones, which I am looking to do soon, does anyone know of a similar scheme with cameras?

Why don't you keep the camera and then use it to start selling on ebay or use the points to get something you want, to offset all the frugality?

I am crap with technology and also to disorganised to do the create an account/ do advert/keep checking/ post it off/set up paypal etc, I would be banned after my first attempt:D

As to the points, I have so many because Boots doesn't really have anything I want, I have thought that in an emergency I wouldn't starve as I have enough for a month of meal deals:D I have enough toiletries to last me the year at least:o The only think I can think to do is get perfume when I run out of my stock (maybe circa 2015:rolleyes:), get a camera to sell or wait until I have my own house and use if for household stuff in the Christmas sales, after all you never know when you might need a pancake pan, fondue thing or risotto set (brilliantly I already have this, despite not being quite sure what risotto is:o)

I also have a Boots set of lovely Italian serving bowls bought 2 years ago, which I plan to use when I hold a dinner party in my new home.I might use my Boots olive oil drizzler and cheeseboard too. Roll on 2013:D

Sarahb, I love how you have a stash of stuff for your home already, i would love to do the same but I'm so fickle I wouldnt like any of it by the time I got a place.

I dont normally join in with the diet talk because I dont diet, (because when I do I get boring and obsessive) but I will be joining in with the exercise talk from now on, as I am signing up for the moonwalk 2010. So I will be boring you all by telling when and how far I have walked. I have till May to get up to 26 miles, which is loads of time, so I will be starting by walking to work 2 days a week (4 miles) and doing a short walk at the weekend. This weeknd I did a 3 mile walk near my house on Sunday, and today I walked to work. Next step is to send off my application and cheque.

good on you carole:T...i look forward to being shamed by your progress
i am inherently allergic to exercise- walking especially!:o

Hi Ziggles, I'm allergic to all exercises apart from walking! Its the only one I will willing do as I can listen to music and daydream for the duration.

Firefox - I ment to say before, but thank you for the info on the wobbly pole thing, as you can see, I decided to go for the moonwalk instead as I think there is more chance of me sticking with that.

Well, that's the problem:o I have spent so much on stuff for my house that I don't really need and some of it I don't really like anymore.:o Plus part of the fun of getting your own house is to get stuff for it and I have spoiled that by getting it in advance. I also have probably doubled up on a few things having forgotten I own them already. :rolleyes:
