    -move money on bank account
    -find out why oh didn't get his bonus on BB
    -find out why I didn't get my bonus on BB
    -finish assignment
    -check emails
    -buy thermos for OH
    -post office
    -library

    Well, I asked for live help on my OH's account,they asked me to send a ticket which I did-but no reply yet. With mine I read it in T&C that if you reached £150 than you need to deposit again but can't deposit if you are over £5 balance. And to be honest, I think I stop mine-I was abusing the system and would do that again, earned a bit of money, but don't want any rude emails:).

    The snow is coming to London town and I'm on my bike :eek:. Let's hope it doesn't arrive till 6, don't fancy walking back home.
    Spent £15 today on pants and hat, all for the gym and they were half price in Debenhams so overall quite happy. Still haven't received anything from my orders on Boxing day, I shall call the companies to find out what is happening. I haven't done much yesterday on my list, wrote to BB but they haven't answered yet.

    I'm taking Thurs and Fri off as the assignment is still not finished, and have an another one next week so will have two (or 4 with the weekend) days to complete both.

    Off to the gym tonight (if I make it back home),need to shed those pounds. Our lovely neighbours moved out yesterday, dreading of the new ones (landlord hasn't found anyone yet), there are only 2 flats in our building but the walls are so thin!

    This month might be an expensive one, our BTL property is becoming empty at the end of this month and so far people who are interested want it furnished-we might need to spend quite a bit of money on furnitures:o. Really really not looking forward to it. On the plus side I am babysitting on Saturday, so an extra £40 should go on my bank account on Monday.

    Working in Clapham Junction, living in Camberwell, good 20 min ride between.

    Our BTL property is abroad, in a university city, and Ikea could have been a good idea but the problem is the delivery, you pay nearly half of the value of the furnitures for delivery as it's about 200km away, so thinking about local furniture shops-the problem is to choose them online without seeing them, also we should order some built-in wardrobes and they cost a fortune. We still advertise it as empty, if no one is interested till the end of this month than we have to furnish it.

    Ok,need advice. My brother is getting married on 24th of July. Have been checking plane tickets and so far no sale is on with easyjet or wizzair, the ticket would cost us around £100 each return for a weekend. Do you think I should book it now or do you think there will be sale and I can get it cheaper ?Mind you we need to fly on Friday and coming back on Sunday, and it's the middle of the summer. Just can't decide what to do.

    Ok, anyone interested in easy money?
    I followed this thread: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=2167597, signed up yesterday, deposited £10 (my mistake, £5 would have been enough), played £5 on bingo, won £11.83. Than withdrawn the £5 and £11.83 together giving me £6.83 profit. Got the £20 bonus today, played it on platinum roulette and won £25. So that's a profit of £31.83 in two days-appr. 10 min of my time. Should take 3-5 days to clear it on my bank account.
