    It just got me thinking, what if they took my car away from me? I really need to get myself in a better financial position, as there is no way that I would be able to buy myself a car at the moment.

    Apart from the second hand market would then be flooded with a huge over-supply of dirt-cheap ex-mobility cars...

    It wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't thought things through to that level though.

    That's one of the reasons I would want to be in a better financial position in a couple of years time. If the worst did happen and they took my higher rate mobility away, then I would want to try and buy the car that I had to give back.

    Feeling slightly worse for wear today as I had another bad night's sleep. Had a really bad coughing fit at 5am and decided to stay up as it left me a bit shaken.

    Still, having quite a good day so far. I won £10 on the free Jackpot Joy game and I have just been accepted to do a product trial which I will get paid a £30 Amazon voucher for :T.

    I had a better night's sleep last night thank god. Helped by the fact that I slept on 4 pillows.

    I'm trying to muster up the enthusiasm to clean the living room and kitchen. I think I will start at 4pm and do an hour on each.

    Claimed for another £5 Amazon voucher from BP this morning. Some more to add to the Christmas present fund.

    From today, I'm going to see how long I can avoid spending money for. Last night, I got some food shopping and put £20 petrol in my car. Let's see how long that lasts and how many NSDs I can have in a row.

    Finally managed to sleep through the night. I was still sleeping on 4 pillows, but if it works then I'm not complaining ;).

    Had an NSD yesterday and looks like today will be one too :).

    I cleaned the living room yesterday, but didn't finish off the kitchen, so that's tonight's job.

    A letter of mine must have been sent to the wrong address, unless we are getting Sunday post now, as it was put through my letter box when I got home. It was the DCA who has my Capital One debt offering 50% off. If only I could get my hands on £475 by 15th October, but sadly I don't think that is likely.

    Oh well, time to clean the kitchen!!

    Kitchen all done :T

    And I've got another star :j.

    I'm intending to start Flylady from tomorrow, even if it's just the first level, so that I can keep on top of the housework.
