    Morning All! *waves*

    Well, Friday again! All money is where it should be! £10 moved to Iceland fund.

    I still hurt from circuits.. that will teach me to miss 6 weeks of classes.

    Our only item on e6ay ends this Sunday - up to £50 at the moment with 19 watchers, so have every hope that it will fly! Am off work this Saturday, so I will need to stockpile more items, get OH's approval and then get them loaded. 10 days for items worth more, 7 for all others. I will set a scheduled date beyond when I want them to go live and then amend them on the day (evening, after work) I want to list them and it makes it all a lot quicker.

    I have a PO account that has about £50 languishing in it. Interest rate is next to nothing, so I am thinking about sticking it into Z0pa (or some other social lending site) and start earning some interest. I am a bit of a sentimental old fool though and I have had this account since I was about 5! :O} But it is not making my money work for me!! Will add this thought into my notebook!

    Still toying with changing the TV/broadband package... have decided I am a bit indecisive (I think) and just need to bite the bullet. One thing that isn't helping with my decision is that when I ask OH he just says "whatever"... but I really do not want him moaning for the next 12 months that he doesn't like the new packages!!! Love him really! lol

    Oh, I made a totally random purchase of three oil paintings at an Antiques Fayre last weekend... They are of speed-skating at the 2002 Winter Olympics, but they just called to me!! Need to find somewhere to get them mounted and frames now (at a decent rate!)
    Right, I think that is it from me for now. I'll be back if I think of anything!

    Have a great weekend.... Nats x

    Hi All!

    Not a bad start to the day weather-wise here today... although it is forecast to rain (a lot) later.

    So... I have been updating my to-do list as I have gone through the week. Hoping to wrap up the odds and ends over the weekend.

    +

    The odd 10p that was hiding in my old ING is now in the Iceland fund along with this weeks £10 and 6p from my purse.

    The £10 that I had to deposit and spend on the bingo site to qualify for the cashback (and the free £30 additional bingo money to play on the site) is currently winging its way back to me (I have left another £11.25 winnings in there for now, but am thinking that I will withdraw it too).

    Need to check next week that the cashback has tracked.

    OH decided to spend some of the e6ay money earned so far ... I was less than impressed, so he will be re-paying the account to cover what he spent.

    Managed to get through the whole week without putting anything on the CC.

    Went to circuits again this week... was a harder session than last week, but I ache less! Thankfully as last Thursday and Friday were particularly painful!

    Working tomorrow. OH is away visiting family for the day, so I may stay an hour longer and earn some extra pennies!

    Right, must do some work! Have a great weekend all! Nats x

    Ok followers... I would like your thoughts!!

    I am currently cost neutral on the new bingo site I opened as I have transferred the initial £10 outlay back to my account.

    I have winnings of £11.25 and 'free money' totalling £7.60 sat in the bingo site. So..... do I?....

    1) Withdraw the £11.25 now and put into Iceland - and carry on with the £7.60 to see if I can win more
    2) Leave it all in there, spend the £7.60 to see if I can win more and then withdraw whatever the balance is at the end
    3) Technically it is all 'free money' - do I gamble the whole lot to see if I can end up with more
    4) I have an offer from the site to deposit £10 and spend on their 'slots' and receive a 'free' £10 to spend. So do I withdraw the £11.25 and then re-deposit the £10 to get the free £10??

    All thoughts on a postcard please!
