The Ultimate Incentive to get debt free… again. Dinah & NIM go head to head!

I'm at 6% with 6 more things in progress. I need to step it up! 4 of mine can only be done during or after our honeymoon so that'll get the list down a bit, hopefully I'll be able to cross a few more off too! Point in case; I'm trying to convice OH that it'll be a really good idea to go to Sleuths dinner show when we're away... so I can cross 'Attend a Murder Mystery dinner' off my list! I'm also working on my SIL as she wants to do a silly surprise Bride & Maids dance at her wedding, so I'm saying how awesome we'll all look doing Thriller... so I can cross that off the list too! :rotfl:

And the ideas begin forming, I think it will be once I do a bit of an A-Team job on it.

All you have to do is transport the occasional beer with it.

Dude shhh, I need to get it working before the wife finds out its true purpose

Well it could be used to fetch and carry many things. Dinner, flowers, wine,

Afternoon everyone,
After some advice from you keen bakers out there!
Its OHs birthday on Friday and I wanted to make something for him while hes at work. He's not a massive fan of cakes so to say but prefers muffins, biscuits etc... If anyone has a fool proof recipe for something yummy I would really appreciate it I'm a bit of a disaster in the kitchen so it needs to be something easy :rotfl:

You need bookies, their not quite brownies and not quite cookies, but they are all awesome

That said I have one or two that even I can manage so you'll be ok with them.

Cinny any word about your Mini?

No, not yet. I've left a message though. To be completely fair, the more I'm waiting the less I want it. Which maybe sounds bratty, but I want the moniez!

For the 1001 day list I'm at 23% done, I think! With a fair few in progress. I updated it last night, and 23% sounds about right in my noodle.

Doing a little bit of trade-swapping with my Brother. He's going to fit our new bathroom in exchange for me and OH going and doing what we can at his. Already been roped in to go help Saturday if I've finished painting the spare room. Which I hope I will be, I don't want the place looking messy for when window man comes Already told OH he needs to relocated our food store Friday morning so we don't look like crazy people

Flower - I'm going to try this recipe for this week's baking. It looks pretty straight forward, and cheap if you're watching the pennies

Can I see everyones lists again?! I'm impressed with 23% Cinny!

Knackered again today, have been unable to catch up and get my bounce back for a few days now, seem to be living off diet coke and red bull just to get me through the day. Which means another £3.29 on the spending diary (using spendingdiary.com as I can update it from anywhere which saves NIM time). Very cheery though as I have a Cadbury's Tiffin (worth going to Ireland just to pick a few of these up and come home again imo!) with my sandwiches for lunch. I wish we got the range of Cadbury's here that you can get over there.

I was good last night and got 7 things (I think, maybe only 6) listed on ebay. We have 1 thing to wrap tonight to post tomorrow, and about 5 things ending currently with around £20 of bids between them which isn't bad. I've got a huge bundle of vintage fabric listed on there that was all my nanas, currently at £10 but with 38 watchers so I'm hoping to get it up to £15-£20 as there is enough there to make about 20 dresses/skirts etc so someone will be getting a good buy.

Also received the new tablet pc for the business last night. I'm still a bit nervous about how much it cost, but NIM seems impressed with it and I'm looking forward to getting a good play about. It will come in very handy, I'm just wondering if I should have gone for a cheaper netbook.

Oooh great site Cinny, I want to try these! Nomnomnom! I'm going shopping tonight, might just have to pick up some extra bits to have a baking session when I get home...

23% is very good Cinny... I need to get working on mine! Must print it out to remind me! The trade swap sounds like a good plan too, it would be useful if OH or I had any DIY skills to trade with people but we're useless!

Ooh thank you they look yummy, and just the sort of thing that OH likes. Think I will pop to the shops and get the stuff today for it - and good that its cheap too (tax credits money still not sorted!).

Thats good about ebay sales Dinah - I take it you managed to get them to reinstate your account, good news!
