Hallo - did u guys miss me????:o
I've been on hols in sunny Santorini for a week.
Have been plonking pennies into the pottie. Although I did miss out on £1.50 roadkill at the airport on the way home as MR LC was shouting at me as we were going to miss the train:mad::mad::mad:
I survived my sponsored run - actually did the 5k without stopping which I was shocked at as I hadn't done much training.:o
Really want to get my finances back on track over the next 6 months so will be back to ebay and mystery shopping. And any other money-making tips on here.
Hope you guys are all good.:ASave me from spending...

Ah there you are LC! Great to see you back, though didn't know you'd been! :huh: Just knew you'd absconded you little devil you. How I held back from saying "where's LC gone to" yesterday I don't know, must have been due to all the excitement of having ONE THOUSAND [STRIKE]mad folk[/STRIKE] members now! Actually that's now gone up to 1002!!! :j....and you didn't even notice!:(
So pleased you had a lovely time, though where is Santorini??? Sounds Spanish, but..... All the best with getting your cash flowing - or perhaps not LC!...and very well done on your sponsored run!:T
