Starting Again

Ive just read back to the beginning of my diary and wish I had not fallen off the wagon - nevermind it cant be helped.

Goes to show what a detrimental effect a complete breakdown can have on your finances, self control etc.

Will get there!

I used to use turbolister but you dont get free listings with that any more, so its few and far between!

I think you are amazing

Skint_but_Optimistic

Aww lou thats made me feel a bit teary. I am not that amazing. Im more like a rolling programme of disaster, lurching from one crisis to another with no money to support it, the occasional binge drink and collecting everyones cast offs to sell on ebay.:rotfl:

Well I had an evening of surveys last night following a timed ironing event, reclaimed $50 from Gl*baltestmarket, and thirty quid from Va1ued 0pinions.

They were the 2 I checked. Rather pleased. Paid another 50p off my Amex this morning, and I shall be comping and feebieing and planning my next ebay campaign. Which is not going all to plan In January. I have one cancelled sale, and one which is 7 days overdue, so I have had to open an unpaid item case. This isnt how its meant to be!

28 quid still sitting tracked in quidco. Confirm d4mn you and let me pay you off my cards!

Tonight we will feast on bolognese, and I shall employ child power with log making.

Ive another timed ironing event, half an hour tonight as I have to do upstairs hoovering. I shall do some work as I am at work now! and I shall do the odd competition and freebie hunt.

A solitary ebay item to post today!

Back later once I have done work and moneysaving stuff!

Just catching up Skint and a Happy Tired Tuesday to you,

Cant believe how much you listed on ebay at the weekend, I managed two items ! I am running out of things to sell now though .

Grr to crappy Ex messing you DD around again.

I thought I was the only person to do timed Ironing events, I have a timer that makes Elephant noises to tell me I am allowed to stop ! :rotfl:

I need to start doing competitions. I keep threatening, but not really happening. I wish there were more hours in the day dont you ?! xx

I have to limit myself or I will empty the basket and then have no time for anything else!

The comps take very little time if you want to do just one a day, thats enough. The surveys take longer! Break time, so I will check out any other rewards I need to claim!

Surveys still off limits for me , the bordeom was driving me crazy and the family were getting irritated sitting on the sofa plodding away at surveys rather than paying them attention ! :rotfl:

I honestly cant remember the last time I even saw the bottom of the ironing basket

Skint_but_Optimistic

Ah I am doing surveys and not really concentrating on them. I did some algebra while answering about soap powder the other day.

Yeah its rather mythical for me too, its got the tribe of the friendless socks living on the bottom of it!!! Big cheif ski sock and his crew of slack elastic, holey, bobbley, and too-small-for-anyone.

Timer making nice noises sounds good to me.

Dominos pizza courtesy of low spend board is a win!

Nice easy night food wise with some time available for comps and surveys and other general stuff.

Log making and merriment. I shall also plan my shenanigans for the week.

not even rich enough for euromillions dalliance tonight. Oh the utter horrors!
