Kayleighpea

Someone needs to give me a kick up the backside!

I have 3 mystery shops to do today, but I realllly don't want to get out of bed!

Well done on the weight loss KP!

Hope you managed to drag yourself out of bed and have done at least some of the mystery shops by now!

I am in awe of your mystery shop finding skills, I never get to them before they've all been snapped up!

Hey Kp!

Well done on the weight loss! I need to get my backside in gear and shift a few pounds myself but I seriously think Im addicted to food! lol I do try to have my 5-a-day and drink plenty of water, just need to exercise! Am intrigued at this mystery shopping, what do you have to do? Excuse the silly question..lol

Morning All!

Sun is shining, birds are singing, and all is good with the world! :j

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, I spent my entire weekend ruining the weightloss with bad food and too much drink Back on the wagon today though!

Sunny - MS'ing is fairly straightforward really. You either get allocated an assignment or allocate it to yourself and then you have to go into the shop/restaurant whatever and assess the service you receive. Come home and write up the report and get paid for it! The reports are the worst part because they take up a fair bit of time (depending on which company you are using). If you go to the Up Your Income board there's a thread all about it on there - make sure you read all the info on the first few pages though before asking any questions on there - they are a bit funny about newbies on that thread!

You're never going to make big bucks out of mystery shopping, but I just like having that little bit extra and it gets me out and about!

Anyways, I best get on with my proper job! Hope you all have a lovely day

MSing sounds like a fun way to make some spare cash

Hello everyone!

Sorry I disappeared off the radar for a little while again. Things got tough money-wise so had to dip into all my pots and felt too guilty to be on here!

Payday yesterday though so I can now start again trying to get back on track. Even had to dip into my holiday savings though so gonna be another tough month while I top that back up

At least I have the hol to look forward to though! 9 and a half weeks to go, but who's counting eh?!

niccatw

I know how you feel. Been scared to look at my bank account!

Kayleighpea

It definitely softened the blow looking at the bank account on payday! Still is a bit of a shocker to realise how badly off I am this month though Think I should join one of those 'no spend days' challenges!!

niccatw

I declare any on my diary but I haven't joined formally. Probably not a bad idea. The crazy clothes challenge has certainly been good for me so challenges are the way to go! Joined the no buying books challenge too - but getting withdrawal symptoms on that one! I may have to buckle soon... or get amazon vouchers for my birthday or something.

Hey niccatw, why don't you just go to your local library? Me and my mum have been doing that the last couple of months and it's brilliant! I have been reading loads more now and for free!

I am totally shattered now Went to weight watchers (lost 1 and a half pounds! :j), came home and had dinner and then have been moving furniture into my new bedroom all night! One of my flatmates has moved out so I get to move into his (bigger) room Was def a workout and a half! I just couldn't decide where I wanted everything so was changing it around constantly :think: I know where I'll put it all when I eventually buy a desk to go in there too but until then no matter where I put everything it looks too bare! Think I better set up another pot for savings! :rotfl:

Right, i'm crashing out now - night all!
