    I love having chilled out sofa time. I rarely do it, always have lappy on lap doing something or other in the evenings or sorting kids out etc. But we somehow feel guilty for doing it.
    Well done on the ebay listings, good luck with those.

    Mortgage is under £80k today :j only with natural progression sadly, but still great.

    Total owe to the world has also decreased by £70 from last month which is amazing seeing as we had big purchases of an ipad :o, a new alloy wheel for my car plus a new tyre, so overall am impressed with that.

    Off out for the day today :T

    Well done on getting all those items listed on ebay, hope you can make a bit from it.

    We've had a fantastic day out. it didn't rain and wasn't too cold. we took dd to pepos pig world and she had a fantastic time.

    2 adult entrance plus one photo with pepos and lunch spent just over £60 which was great as I was expecting to pay that on just entrance tickets but dd was just under the height restrictionbso I didn't have to pay for her.

    Then got home to find my dooyoo cheque and a £10 survey voucher so almost offset itself for the day out which is great.

    love how my ipad spells peppa as pepos lol.

    Freezing here today. Am determined to have more of a sort out and create some cash to get myself ahead. Lots of things need to change, job, family issues and more which can't be discussed here for fear of someone recognising me etc.

    So to start this morning I have taken a pile of bits to the recycling bin and listed some of my old jewellery supplies on a craft site which will hopefully sell.

    Going to get some bits on Ebay later.

    Four ebay items sold which is nice. I'll pay my fees and then prob withdraw the balance. This morning I paid my £50 DY cheque off my 0% cc so that balance is decreasing.

    OP seems to be down this morning which is a pita

    Keep at it. I've just been refreshing over and over and I've managed to do a few surveys today. I'm in the middle of one now.

    It is being a right PITA but keep persevering! :)

    EDIT: Well I was in the middle of one. Just got this message:

    OnePoll is currently undergoing essential maintenance and upgrades

    We will be back online shortly.

    Thank you for your patience

    Onepoll is so frustrating when it's not working properly. I have done 2 surveys on TCB which is good going. I keep forgetting to do them on there.
