    An overnight jewellery sale of £12 which was nice to wake up to.

    I'm planning to order my wedding dress this weekend, which I'm both scared and excited about.

    £10 landed from amazon this morning, so put that away, and have managed to make sales of approx £10 today which is good, if only I could do that every day.

    I ordered a new laptop charger from ebay last week and it's taken it's time getting here. Arrived today, plugged it in and it went bang. Great start! No word from the seller yet, they had better reply soon before I put in a paypal claim though. Hopefully my charger will last a bit longer, am very wary of buying universal now after that.

    I got refunded for the laptop charger this morning, and a £4 sale last night. Been to the denstist this morning for part 2 of root canal. No pain today and no injection so I have dead nerves / roots whatever in that tooth now.

    I've got all my figures set out in a spreadsheet, and am attacking this debt in small chunks. For instance I need £21.55 to round the cc down to the next £100 mark so that's my target. Would love to get that today, but not sure.

    I have just been given a MS so have done my purchase nice and early. Two bits for DD so I can keep one and return one as part of the shop which is good.

    That'll be a relief for you having no pain at long last. Well done on your sales - your stuff is so lovely, it really is.
    Do you get a lot of mystery shops? My student DD is signed up but has hardly had any - she's just with the one company though.

    At least you got the money for the charger refunded, and you're doing well with your mystery shops too.
    Finally bought a home

    I've only just started doing MSing, and am doing the online ones at the mo, haven't done a proper shop yet. I sold another bag charm today so another £4 off the total, and have just been given another MS so getting DD a xmas pressie to offset the cost as I would get it anyway.

    I've put three things on ebay tonight, got allocated another MS this time for a supermarket which was handy, and made another £4 jewellery sale.

    All pennies but hopefully when it starts to come in it'll make a difference to the totals. Determined to bash this and then get saving.
