    Well i did a few of the cashback sites today but have run out of energy now so am off to bed, managed to have an expensive shopping trip today though did buy some digital scales to weigh food and ebay, some christmas presents for my niece and nephews, some wine on offer and some bold at half price so got a few boxes of that and will hopefully last a while. Got to get up at a reasonable time tomorrow as got to get my nan down to the surgery to have her blood test. She has an electric buggy that i dont like her using as she is not that safe on it but i cant push her down in her wheelchair as i am still not feeling that great myself so will walk doen slowly with her in her buggy and hopefully we will get there and back in one piece. Will update my signatures and challenge list tomorrow. off to bed now. night.

    Hi all, sorry it has been so long since i have posted, it has been a bit chaotic here, i have been on my chemo course for 3 days this week, and had to spend hours travelling backwards and forward each day to the course as it is in london - got another 2 days next week to attend too. When i havent been doing that we have been having my niece and nephews over as my sister in law is due very soon and having a few complications so backwards and forwards to the hospital.

    I have managed to get up to 8/15 NSD this month, i am determined to get to 15.

    I also managed to get 15.88 from ebay and 9.67 from a book i sold too, have sold another few things on ebay but wont add that til i get paid.

    I have spent 9.30 and 14.02 on grocery taking my total up to 107.16/150

Has been exhasuting not got much sleep and constantly on the go so have not got much done. they went home last night to see there parents but they will have to come back over as she is in early labout but due to babys position labour is stopping and starting. enjoying a bit of peace and quiet incase we get another call to look after the children. Managed to spend a fortune in A5da yesterday as kids want everything they see and as they hadnt seen there mum in a few days they had a few treats and have been cooking for 6/7 people instead of the normal 2/3 i cook for. will update figures as soon as i have time though i have goon a bit haywire this week.

    Just realised that i have not been here and updated this thread for along time, I have now joined a gym in my efforts to get fit, i only have to commit to 6 months and so far it is going well, hopefully i will enjoy it and start joining the classes and build up my fitness as well as lose weight. I will set targets for this when i get time to think about it some more to set realistic targets.

    I also want to try to save £12,000 a month, i dont know if this is realistic but i will try my best to achieve this. So far this year i have managed to save £1,235.92 this year through putting money by from my wages, bank work, ebay, amazon, interest on bank account. I will try to update this regularly again to keep me motivated.

    I have wirhdrawn £13 from paypal, £10 from opinionworld and £3 from p!necone, will add these to my total when they hit my bank account, also saved 25p on something i had to buy, its not much but it all counts. so total now stands at £1.236.17.
    I haven't been to the gym today as i am coming down with something, my chest isnt very good, think i may be heading towards another chest infection.
