Tete en l’Air’s Feet On The Ground Diary

zigmeister

Sounds like a good idea for your challenge Tete, but I can't think of any other ways to make money! You could try the first page of Dinah's thread - I'm sure that had her ways she planned to make money.

How did your jars go? The baileys and white choc fudge I made went down really well!

:whistle:

Like the sound of making yourself more time efficient, I tell myself that every Monday morning but fail

Sounds like you're doing well on clearing the OD though, glad you had a nice Christmas

The only things I can think of are ebay and amazon selling stuff but I know you already do that and have probably already sold everything worth selling.

Tete_en_l'Air

I have really Wendz what with my decluttering and I sort of promised myself I'd never sell on ebay again! Good idea about looking on Dinah's thread Zig, will do that! Glad your jars went down well, I sent my ones to OH's parents' with him on Xmas eve and the little brownies didn't make it til Xmas day! Bt my uncle said my peppermint cream balls looked like a jar of gallstones!

Cinny did you get the S&G hatbox for crimble in the end? I've been happily ploughing into mine

Cinny91

I did! Trying to behave and not use it all at once - I need lots of new stuff to keep me happy during my 120 day challenge. The lipgloss hurts a little bit though, don't you think? Never used tingle lipgloss before so I think I might be being dramatic!

Thought of any more money making ideas? STP isn't really that bad, managed to do £5 on it today without wanting to kill myself which was nice.

I used to have that lipgloss, does feel really weird. We used to put it on the biys at uni so they got what we were going on about haha.

I read about that, some one reviewed it on Dooyoo and they were not impressed with how painful it was!

zigmeister

Lol @ your Uncle's coment Tete! Brownies sound fab.

Glad you both got your S&G boxes; I have a ridiculous amount of S&G now Least I won't have to buy some for ages!

I've heard tons of people saying the lipgloss hurt! Does it actually hurt, or just tingle? I'm a bit scared!

Tete_en_l'Air

I was quite surprised by the lipgloss actually - I wouldn't say it hurts but it tingles a hell of a lot!!

Well Happy New Year! I'm contemplating work tomorrow and am not a happy bunny But have been updating my sig with 2010 challenges so that's quite exciting

First one is obvious - the OD which stands at just under £300, I want this cleared by my birthday on 12th Feb, should be just about do-able if I'm careful.

Second one is my moving out fund, should cover deposit, a months advance rent plus a bit left over for various moving-house expenses. It's looking at being about June I think.

Third one is to add to my ISA savings, just a figure I plucked from the air which I thought would be a reasonable amount to save with everything else going on.

Extra earnings: This will include Dooyoo, Ciao, Quidco ... any money or vouchers which come my way. Fairly modest compared to Dinah's medal aims but I don't want it to be unattainable and depressing. And I was hoping that Bingo Britain and Bingoport would boost this one quite nicely but it doesn't look as thought they're going to now.

As for the diet, I put on a pound over December - total miracle, I've been eating for England - so I'm now 10.5. I would like to be 9.6 by my birthday (again) and according to Food Focus that means losing at least 2lb per week. But hey-ho, we'll go for it and see how we get on!

Mini to-do list for tonight:
- Ironing
- Tidy room
- Make a list of things to be reviewed
- Make spreadsheet to track which reviews have been posted where
- Clear out boxes on top of wardrobe (last item on my declutter list)
- Make birthday card
- Look at Music Magpie
- Mood board and sewing folder

Hmm, maybe not so mini...

Dinah93

There is no way you can do all that tonight you'll be up till dawn!
