    How do people pay for stuff through facebook?

    Sorted sale out by friend requesting and messaging then it was paid via paypal. I posted once payment received. Someone did ask for girls 3-6 month stuff which i spent ages sorting through then decided they had found a huge pile and didn't need any!

    Up to £32.75 on onepoll, I hadn't been on for a few days but I think the surveys stay on there a bit longer now? I should get to payout by end of month :D

    Am really tired today after not sleeping well last night (think I managed 5 hours) and back is a bit sore today so restful evening ahead hopefully.

    Have just arranged another OP of £65 to take balance sub £114k but post more later as just off to doctors. Hope he fixes all my problems - should do as he's a lovely clever man :)

    Do you find that when you're close to payout it drags on a bit until you hit it? :rotfl:

    If I haven't been able to get on for a day or two, when it comes to clicking on one it may say that it's filled it's quota or words to that effect.

    Thanks, not feeling unwell but wanted doctor to address my hypos, SPD and a lump I have on my leg which turns out to be a benign tumour! :eek: I wasn't expecting that! Not worried though as I don't think it's harmful and isn't painful. Apparantly it's a dermatofibroma.

    I'm honestly not worried as I have had much more serious complaints in the past and turned out fine!! :rotfl:

    Signature now updated to reflect OP, money hit account from paypal this morning and wanted to get mortgage under £114k. Have to play with SS to see how soon can get it under £113 now! Small achievements lead to more target setting in this MFW game!

    Am hoping some people get back to me today as to whether they want DD's baby clothes as they are all over the playroom and driving me mad! If not they should be gone by Sunday's car boot sale if the weather holds out.

    Definitely, it's as if they don't want you to get there! I am also missing a £2.50 referral bonus which I think got missed when they changed the site slighty. Not really sure how to chase this up. Only managed 10p on there this morning so far :D

    I do, however, it's a little dull :o

    I'm sure it's not :) We all use our diaries to motivate ourselves and if people read and comment it's a bonus to know we're not talking to ourselves and we can all help each other out. Just hadn't noticed you post before so thank you for that :)

    I try to read/comment/thank as much as I can but I can fall behind quickly and it can take me a while to catch up - there are so many diaries!

    Essentially my diary is just that, a diary of my journey - it's a bonus if anyone reads it and it is always much appreciated when they do.

    :)
