    Morning all, jsut checking my bank accounts and my £10 has arrived from jackpot joy which takes my total to £106.27, only have £44 to make my september challenge - not sure if i am going to make that total though as i am only waiting for some money to come through payapl though i will try my best. But this does take me to 1% of my total that i am trying to achieve which is a start, am trying to think of more ways to make some money.

    I have got to ring my occupational heath department today and my doctor to try and arrange an appointment re: a gradual return to work.

    Just wrote a long message out and then lost it, really dont have the energy to rewrite it all but in brief did not achieve a no spend day today as i we had to take on some rabbits 2 nights ago but last night found one had a rally nasty eye that looked like it was infected so took it to the vet this evening and it is infected and has to have oral antibiotics and eyedrops and if that dosent work he has to have injectable antibiotics. so spent £46 at the vets and another £40 on bedding, sawdust, hay, food etc.

    I have requested £10 from butlins bingo but will not add this to my total til it hits my bank account
    .
    Been given 25p for my sealed pot challenge so that is added.

    I have started my grocery challenge for next month but my tesco shop today which was surprisingly cheap for us but as most of it will be eaten next month. i will see how much i spend this month and then try to slowly reduce the amount i spend in the challenge though i am trying to use up the stuff in the freexer at the moment.

    I have Done my the daily clicks that i have signed up to so far and the pending amounts are slowly adding up though taking a while to clear.

    This weekend is free listings again so will try to put up some of my more expensive stuff up this weekend and hopefully make a few pounds towards next months challenge and monday is payday so hopefully can put some money straight into my savings account.

    i have quite a few things on ebay with most ending today and some ending tomorrow, 4 have got bids on so far with another couple of things got watchers on so hopefully make a few quid. Have relisted a couple of items and all the cd's that dont sell today are going to music magpie to get rid of them as i have most of it on itunes anyway and the cd's just get in the way. As it is free listings weekend i am going to try and get as much as possible that i will put on for over 99p on and maybe a few 99p items too. really want to clear our house cos when we do get our own house it will be much smaller than my nans house so wont have the room.

    well after having major problems with ebay this afternoon, it looked like someone had hacked my account and so ebay put a different password on it and told me to change it asap but ebay wouldnt let me so had to go to there online chat and wait a couple of hours to get them to help us out to find out what had happened and help my access my account. The lady was very helpful and got it resolved quite quickly. On the upside i have now been able to continue to list things and have sold 9 thinks and one is definitly going to sell tomorrow.

    I haven't sold anything on amazon for a while so may review my prices on there and maybe reduce them a bit.

    I have managed to have a NSD today as havent been out of the house.

    We are probably going to get up in the morning and go and have a look around the local car boot sale to see if they have anything decent going.
