    Did you check the new ones on ESA on alerts today NIM?

    I think I figure I'll try to complete 101 things off my 137 things list - the rest can become a new list!!!

    Thats great going on the games Birdie - is this for spending money on honeymoon?

    I got a Dell Inspiron Duo - it's a tablet which flips open and has a full keyboard. It hasn't got the most accurate touchscreen though, although apparently it can be calibrated to your touch.

    My day zero is at 13%. Could probably get it to about 20% if I cut it down from 135 to 101!

    ETA: Argh, just added another one to my list!

    I love that you get to have a business PC! It makes it very proper :D

    Also, you need to stop adding things to your lists! No wonder you need extra energy! Have you tried Zig's Green Monsters? I've had them a few days this week for breakfast and I'm addicted! I do feel that I have more energy and I don't get hungry before lunch - normally I'm starving by about 10.30!

    Here's my list. My list isn't big things or impressive. My Sister laughed and said it suited me perfectly against hers (she keeps hers in a notepad) hers are all big like backpacking around europe, living in America ect. Mine are all little homely things! 'set up the spare rooms' 'make butter' :rotfl:

    That's a nice list, Cinny, I've neglected mine a little - especially as I know I'm not going to be DF by 30 which was my original starting point, but I've got lots of other nice stuff to be getting on with!

    Good going there Birdie.

    Looks like I've just had £45 from some MSing I did last month, and D should be getting some in today aswel...although I did the shops. Although it does help get the good jobs more regularly when both of us do it. Got a run lined up for Saturday with a company I've not worked with before to get me eyes checked like 12 times so yet another marathon.

    How is everyone elses morning going?

    Yay for your ebay sales girls! That's a tidy morning's work.
    NIM, I don't know how you do so many MS! There are hardly ever any available in my area and even if there were I think a couple a week would be too much! Glad it's paying off though :)

    PS. Birdie, how are you getting on with the kinect?

    I've shredded 5 days (out of 6) this month so I'm well on my way to feeling smug. I have also sampled some epic chips, sticky toffee pudding and a couple of chocolate biscuits...

    He's signed up with pretty much every company going, Im only with 5 or 6 and I couldn't make anything like the ammount he does just due to lack of availibility.

    Just tore a contact lens. Luckily I had an old prescription one in my desk (my last spare!) which I found after a panic I didn't have one, but now I feel dizzy and sick as I can't see evenly and everything is a bit fuzzy as its not strong enough. Wish I could go home :(

    Yep, games will be going toward spending money so it's all welcome! Just went home for my lunch (update on that, OH is going to make sandwiches now as he's twigged that we're eating too much! ;)) and he was surrounded by piles of cds and said, 'I've got it up to £50!' so looks like my selling stuff-ness has rubbed of onto him! :)

    Ooooh the last game which I didn't think would sell has just sold! Everything I listed last night is now gone! That's good, only 1 trip to the post office! :D

    ETA: Well behind the posts! Kinect is going well Poddle, OH's played on it more than me, I was out all night Monday and too iffy to jump around a lot yesterday to going to have a play tonight. It's a bit freaky though, we watch all of our perfectly legal downloaded stuff through the xbox (our entertainment set-up is seriously wicked!) so when I turned it on last night to watch something the sensor was moving up and down looking for me and it was showing me in the bottom corner of the screen, waiting for me to talk to it! I've only shredded once so far... bad me!!!
