    Where's newsmonkey been lately with the weekly things to do tasks?

    Well mine are...
    * Sort new bank account on Wednesday
    * Look up and sell mobile phones on Envirophone for Olympic challenge
    * Find more things to Ebay

    So, doing some filing in my break for lunch... found the final O2 bill from last contract, £8 due :eek:
    *cue panic!*
    To be taken 26/12/06, well it definitely didn't go out and the DD is still there.

    I checked it online and it's £8 CR! :D So I phoned O2 and they are crediting it back to my account within 10 days, woohoo.

    Gonna put that towards the challenge as it's money I previously would have forgotten about :)

    Hi Gemmzie, haven't posted much as I haven't really had any advice to offer, but just wanted to say I think you are doing amazingly well in difficult circumstances. Hope the matched betting and the eBaying are going well! Love Snaggles xxx

    Thanks Snaggles.

    Only done one matched bet so far, a great arb but it was a huge one so have to wait for the end of CBB to do anything with that one.

    Ebay, only one item listed so far but 12 watchers and £8 something bid. :j Hoping to get around £30 for it.

    Got a letter from IF yesterday, they are putting my credit limit up to £900. Now usually I'd say no but since that's the card where I owe anything personally.

    So owing 480 on 900 is better than owing it on 600 right?

    I will not use the card as it has a lovely low BT rate for life.

    £72.52 to go until 10% is gone, hmmm... well I have yet to make the payments on Post Office and HSBC Mum this month, plus got a bit coming from Quidco.

    That plus the challenge... should be do-able, so get rid of this bit by the end of February mini challenge starts now :D

    Quidco - Mine always seems to pay out around the 4th of the month.

    Need to stick some more on Ebay but it needs parcelling up as it's clothing and I can't be bothered at the moment :rotfl: Baaaaaad DFW attitude

    Matched betting has totally confused me, I thought I had it but looking again at the figures, it's gone very wrong :(
