    Excellent keep up the £1s and it will soon all add up:T

    Well OH bought me a lottery ticket today with two lucky dips and can you believe it? We only won £10 on two lines, so thats sundays £20 to add to the pot:T
    Still no more wins on free bingo, but I have managed to list a few items on ebay today, so hopefully a few more pounds to come. I have also signed up to lightspeed and I must do some more dooyoo reviews

  • Hope the first day back at work wasn't too bad! Keeping motivated in the evenings after work is something I'm struggling with too. :(

    Well back at work and is worse than ever, why is it when you have a break its so hard to get back into it:mad:

    Well nothing done yesterday but today I cashed up a load of foreign notes I had sitting about from ages ago and it netted me £53 something:T So thats gone in the pot for throwing at the debt.

    I rang up CCCS and have set up a DD so that will save £2.50 a month aswell from 1st Feb.

    Still havent won anything else on POSH bingo and its starting to annoy me now, I only need another £1.05 so I can withdraw my winnings, but at this rate I will still be doing it next year:rolleyes:

    Tommorrow night is the dreaded weigh in and Im not looking forward to it, mind you if this snow keeps up I may not be able to get there, still it only prolongs the agony.

    Well Im off to try and find some more money or some things to sell

    I know I has some dolalrs left from ages ago and also some euros from before Xmas when I went on a day trip but as I wont be going anywhere to use them for a while I thought I would cash them in.:D

    Not much to add this week due to snow and being back at work:mad: only a £9.50 sale from Amazon, I have a 99p bid on ebay but thats all at the moment.

    Well 2mrw we are having a big "spring" clean and am hoping to find a bumper lot to list on ebay
