    I'm watching my 6 year old on the wii fit - now that is funny - not as funny as watching my 12 year old hula hoop on the wii but still good!

    Sounds like my kind of dinner! :D

    I'm calling it a night to watch the Olympics. The kids have worn me out this week. They just don't listen (unless I say "Who'd like some sweets?" :cool:). It's truly driving my insane :mad: I get so frustrated that I shout - which I hate doing, it's so unnecessary........arrgghhhh!!!!

    Sorry :o Rant over, hope you all have a nice evening :)

    So, Sunday morning........scratches done (no more than 10p sadly), nothing in or out of the bank, and no mystery bundle of cash put through my letter box during the night......!

    Paper rounds, skiing, and usual Sunday stuff are the order of the day. Nothing much planned, but will try and use the day to start planning some elements of the future.

    I need to get organised - start planning the ski weekends, etc for the summer season, re-do my budgets (again) to ensure I am on track, work out some of the medium term budgets that get overlooked, like Christmas, a holiday (Well, I can but try!), plus longer term contingencies etc.

    I need to get into a routine - February has obviously been a bit of an odd month, and I have missed plenty of opportunities for making money. I need March to be more productive - checking regularly for mystery shops, matched betting opportunities, doing the surveys in my inbox, and generally taking advantage of the ways of making money that are open to me without impacting too much on my spare time!

    I also need to continue with the decluttering, which has ground to a halt this last week or so. I am hoping that I can do a couple of car boot sales, but I don't enjoy them, so I need the weather to be pleasant......perhaps spring will be good to me weatherwise, and I can do one or two early ones which might give me the motivation to do a couple more.

    Right - on with the day - the kettle, I reckon, and a look to see if there are any surveys worth getting screened out of after half an hour!

    Have a good one x

    Morning Hypno,
    Has your phone order been confirmed by email? Mine hasn't and isn't showing in my orders section on dialaphone, but has tracked on topcashback. Theres lots of rumours about it all being cancelled too on hduk :o

    Pop over to the giol board as there is another whill offer today and a couple more I'm going to look into for the carling cup final :)
    Maybe once the weathers picked up we can have a car boot challenge, any one else want to join in? We'll pick a day thats good for us and compete to see who can get the most pennies :D
