    It's good to feel not stressing myself about silly assignments, though I should start studying towards next one if I don't want to end up in the same situation this time next month.

    Money wise I'm getting better I guess, just sold an other tesco mobile on ebay, only one more to go. I bought the £15 one yesterday, as my dad asked me to buy him one, I won't ask him to pay for it though. So if I sell the one at home,than I would have spent alltogether £50 for 2 flights for my brother's wedding. OH just bought their wedding present, Argos has half price clearance sale, so the £80 digital photoframe is now £40. Wedding is not till July but better to be ready now,than panicking then. I have my dress, OH has his suit, we both need to buy some shoes though-I just can't find nice red high heals (not too high!).

    Only a couple of days till payday, can't wait.

    Body pump class is tonight, can't wait.
    And yes, my orange upgrade arrived as well, I managed to talk to a nice guy on Tues evening about the lost phone, he was the 5th person I talked to within 2 days, he promised me to call back yesterday at 11.30 and he did! I was way impressed. Anyway, they still can't find the phone, but sent me a new one which I received. Haven't tried it yet, will leave the pleasure to OH, he's really keen on these things while I just can't be bothered :D.

    Not done anything this lunchtime other than lurking other people's diary :rotfl:.

    Well done on receiving the phone Kavics!

    You just reminded me I have Body Balance tonight, damn I wanted to go home and snuggle down ready for Grey's Anatomy!

    Hi Swinstie, I love Body Balance... But I can't make it in my gym, it starts way too early. I always wanted to watch Grey's anatomy but never got round it, my boss has every episode on DVD, I might borrow it one day...Not quite yet:)

    Just gave a call to council regarding the outstanding amount on my council tax (I paid the last time 3 days ago,but wanted to make sure I'm on zero), and they said that I have £91 credit! So happy, requested an immidiate refund to my account, that will go towards my loan - apparently I paid twice in August, I haven't realized that! That made my day!

    Just logged onto Ebay, and 21 people are watching the Kiehl's gift set I got for Xmas, it's worth £100, I'm hoping to sell it for about £70! Every penny counts!

    :eek: I lost my debit card!:eek:

    I'm pretty sure I left it at the post office yesterday, asked for £10 cashback and that was the last time I saw it. Called bank, it's cancelled and they're sending a new one out by mid-next week but until than I don't have any cash:o. Unless I go into the branch:D. Well, good thing that no one touched my account so far.

    Upgrade mobile arrived, I'll keep it, it's a nice one. Will recycle old one, plus has another 2,so should get around £35 from it as well:T.

    OH came back from argos with the digital picture frame plus wireless landline phone-I got very cross with him as we don't use landline really. Just once a week calling our mums, and when I call her I can sit on my bum,no need to run around. I might make him return it as really don't want to buy unnecessary things (our phone is £2.99 from Tesco's ,does the job perfectly).

    I need to start doing some reading towards next assignment tonight, will have an easy weekend I think.

    So far so good!

    I had a bit of an argument with the lady in Morrisons at the self-checkout till- I love those tills as I am quite fast with them, but for some reason it refused to weigh my coergettes and the lady kept telling me I needed to queue to pay for them seperately. I did, and the scale didn't work there either,than she sent me to a different one. At that point I said I wasnt' going to and she should weigh it herself somewhere else as I/ve been queuing for such a long time,anyway, at the end she wanted me to pay £1.84 for 2 of them-which I refused as they weren't a kilo, than she got fed up and asked if 57pence would be more appropriate:). I said yes, paid and left. Come on, if the scales don't work, why don't you put up a big sign??? Rant over.

    I'm off to have a shower, than wait for OH-he's on his way back hopefully.

    Did step class this morning, now aching.

    Earned £32 yesterday, I was babysitting. Money will go straight into my bank account and towards New York savings, next Saturday I'm booked as well, so should earn another £40 (more kids,more money). It was easy last night, kiddo was fast asleep by the time I got there, so just watched telly and used laptop.

    Today is easy day,try to catch up on studying and sleeping:).

    Monday morning, feeling energetic. NOT:D.

    I recycled two mobile phones over the internet last night-through quidco so that should give me £31.5 in the next couple of weeks. BAd news though, they already cashed in a cheque of £185 for my next course with MNT, it wasn't due till March, I wasn't counting on it-I needed to touch the New York saving account to pay for it. I'm off to the bank to pay in lose change, that's another £36 going towards the loan. It should be payday today or tomorrow, so will move money around. I still haven't sold one mobile phone, and the beauty box hasn't sold either (I put a high reserve price on it), but I listed it again so we shall see. Found a couple of bits and bobs to put on ebay, that's my goal for this week.

    To do today:
    ~pay in lose change
    ~study one topic
    ~do washing
    ~buy something for my auntie
    ~sort out dooyoo
    ~check bank account balance
    ~write email to LB
    ~copy pictures on USB key, and delete them from camera
    ~find out other ways of making money
    ~call sitters about changing postcode

    I'm sure I will find other things to do as well but I need to go to work now. Kiddos,here I come, we're having a fun day:D.
