    wow i didn't even know flash-mobbing existed, i wish i'd asked you all earlier now. what a fab concept.
    We won't have that much room baby, probably about the length of a pasting table and us stood somewhere near it, very glam! - it's all been a bit last min as we weren't going to continue when people got told about redundancies, but everyone's decided to carry on. santa for the kids is a good idea :D one of the worrying things is that everyone said 'well i can't sing but i'll come and shake a tin' - that was all but 1 i think lol. sounds great doesn't it!
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    :D

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.

    trying hard as far as the diet goes if you are buying less of what you normally eat then in theory you are eating less a cheap way of upping your fruit intake is tinned if you check every now and then the asda at mine reduces tinned pineapple /pears as long as they are in fruit juice you can have them and the bliss they dont rot so when you need that treat they are there.i think the calculator will stop you adding that packet of biscuits or big bulk crisps.
    trying you should check out your local ebay if you have transport often items go for little more than a pound because they will not post it you can relist with postage cost if you are able,i just bootsale the items
    ive been doing the advent calenders are you doing postal competitions baby

    em if the santa doesnt work hire of outfit ect i went to a fair recently and they just had lucky dip for the kids so maybe look in asda/tesco at the party bag section and split them up boy/girl toys blue/red wrapping paper my kids had 2 goes ech because it was cheap and put balloons up it attracts the kids if they are getting a freebie
    So finally debt free and it feels amazing however continuing here to stay debt free.Next declutter house and body and finally swim under that waterfall x

    Hey - just a very quick reply.

    Trying Hard, have you thought of trying AVON? I am just on my econd campaign, and loving it. It gets me out the house walking round my teritory, meeting people and best of all it completely fits in around my children whilst providing me with a bit of cash! For my first 3 weeks I made about £60, only looking at about 2 this time but I have not put in any effort and only given books to the people who ordered the first time.....only because my children have been poorly so I haven't been able to get out. Have a look at the Avon thread on here, it is full of fab advice. xx
    Life is a work in progress
  • Thanks Nixi, will look into it, I live in a rural area so lots of 20 odd houses. With people with lots of money or none at all, most people don't answer their doors around here. But might be worth a try. Need the excercise :rotfl:
