    She's coming in from southern Spain.
    feels a bit strange actually. hope it goes well. Well I suppose it will be what we make of it. both me and DH have less than easy backgrounds but decided we wanted it to be different for our kids and the only way to do that was our actions. having their gran on hand and us taking care of her when she needs it is part of that.

    It may not be easy Jo, but it's admirable, and I'm sure the kids will enjoy having their Gran close by to spend time with. I hope it all goes well!

    Hi guys I would love to join you!

    I'm not aiming high for £10,000 I'd just like to try and make an extra £20 a week or something like that so I can save it as me and my boyfriend are meant to be getting a place later in the year.

    I'm a student and he has a job so I'd just like to start saving now so that I have something to put towards the house, even if it is just a little. I already do all the usual questionaire websites, onepoll, valued opinions, pinecone, and i also use Dooyoo. (Am wating for a £50 cheque at the moment from them)

    I haven't quite decided what I want to do to try and make some more money yet, I just have to find time around uni stuff. Its the last 2 months and its pretty busy and I have alot of work to do. Some from the beginning of the term because I suffered badly from depression. But I thought that If i found something fun I could do it in between breaks from work instead of watching TV etc.

    Was thinking of making some earrings but unsure so far. I have been reading this thread for ages as an outsider, thought I'd come and say hello for once rather than just being nosy!
    £11,000 in 2011 = £71.74

    Morning all,

    Welcome greenpixie I'm sure you'l fit right in, if you're mad like the rest of us.
    Thanks to all the watchers on my bike too, it was rather exciting. It ended up at £460, Whoo hoo!!! although now very nervous as I was hoping for local collection paying cash but the winning bidder's address is in London. I've contacted them to discuss and request payment so fingers crossed all will be good. Will just have to dip into our holiday money and pray that they pay asap.
    back later on.
    Would like to: Retire at 54. 19yrs .Clear mortgage by 50. 16yrs. Clear Secured debts by 43. 8yrs.Clear Unsecured debt by 39. 4yrs. Gain full control of my finances by 36. 1yr.Keep my head above water. Today.

    cagne does that mean you are sending the item before you get payment or that you are buying camcorder??
    congratulations on it though. love it when they go up at the last few seconds.
