challenge Make £11,000 in 2011 The Dribblers Advance

Forgot to add in last night that I did 2 hours overtime last night, so that should be around £20 after tax next payday. OH is also doing a couple hours here and there when he is needed for extra training etc.
My ebay bids have gone up a wee bit so that's good.
Bingo did not do it for me I am afraid, ended up with 1p in the account and it's still saying that I havent met my wager limit to withdraw. I will have to keep playing the free stuff till it creeps back up again but I will have to play it until my money becomes withdrawable. I'm sure it will happen and I will get my £10 back (cashback hasnt tracked yet but technically that will pay for what I have withdrawn anyway!)

Other than that, nothing new!

Good Morning everyone,
And a massive well done everyone is doing well on the totals side of things! Woop! Woop!

Took a couple of days out as I have been so sleepy in the evenings, each time that I have attempted to dribble I can’t seem to string a sentence together. A bit quiet on the money making front over the last part of the month. I need to relist my sewing machine as although I had a lot of watchers I had no takers so I may run it as an auction and see if I get any interest.

Got £20 to add to my total for some graphics that I did the payment came through it was for my company so that includes the tax and NI taken out of that one. I have three days off the day job next week so essentially I have a five day weekend. I will use this time wisely to get some more of the shop finished off. I am just being really careful not to burn myself out and make sure that I am managing my time efficiently, and also I made a promise to myself to work hard, but equally to make sure that I have as much fun as possible.

same to you dilli glad to hear youve learned to relax as well as work hard.i think i am going to ebay the stuff i had the nearest indoor booty is about £40 retun trip on fuel at the minute i'm going to photograph the rocking horse and gumtree it me thinks .my other stuff is all little so even if i get my money backi'll be happy think i am going to get my jewellery stuff and do it as a job lot will see .
also about to phone nurse bank think its about time i shredded the credit card and i know its not as much fun as bootys needs must i reckon we could be well on the way to debt free if i worked my weekends so think its going to be heads down and get on with it for a while .
i'm still going to do matched betting though so maybe i can cut back on shifts as the cc goes down i just want rid of it .
keep going strong all what a successful start we have had whoohoo

god quiet today ,dont know if any others have been having problems with interest rate hikes but i have just managed to transfer my 2 credit cards one 9000 that had been rate jacked to 24.5% and 3000 that was sitting on 14.95% to a loan with an apr of 10.1% so happy feel much better .We are still going to pad the little that oh has left .
I am aware that we have a lot of debt hence how i ended up on this board ,this was the result of oh being unwell for a period of 2-3 years he is a bit better but his ill health is always lingering in the back of my mind so i want these debts cleared which now he is no longer self employed and has a good job with sickness benefit we can .
i also now have an emergency fund thanks to last years challenge so now i have our finances back on track i feel very happy .
Have to say that both I and oh are more financially savvy than ever before and intend to enjoy his health ,by doing as much fun things on the cheap lol as possible.
dilli you were right HAPPY HUMP DAY

Well I'm in work (on lunch) and i'm pretty bored .

Got two shifts in my second job this week so that should be about £45. Should also get my £13.50 eBay refund tomorrow - she said I had to wait 3 weeks? Well she has until tomorrow or I'm raising a dispute because I'm sure its 14days!! Correct me if i'm wrong though.

Road tax is due at the end of the month :mad:. At least it falls on payday though.

OH has been signed off with depression *sigh* since when did being a lazy sod = depression?? Bone idol more like. He's down about his weight but will he exercise? No! Will he eat healthily? No.

Sorry to those who suffer from real depression, im just venting!

Did you get the email from TCB re 888ladies deq? I had to submit a claim for the missing cashback. It all sounded quite positive, fingers crossed.
