Cool. I'm a bit :mad: with them at the moment, as they've made everyone's real names publically available, so it's worth bearing that in mind until they change it. DDFW - I don't know if you'd spotted that. Also, if you link your facebook profile, they are linking to that too.

I have suddenly changed my name :cool: but I don't know if that is an issue when you sign up. I've also removed my FB profile from there.

If you do sign up, feel free to pm your user name and I can pass you chat game winnings if I'm lucky and you are on at the same time as me

Wow jwil - i too am very :mad::mad: about that and would have been doubly so had i used the same username on there as here :mad::mad::mad::mad:

i too did secret santa today - but apparently the person who has my gift will bring it in in the new year *rolly eyes smiley* ah well we will see.

Hi everyone else i hope you're all well and ready for xmas x

I was so angry when I saw it first DDFW, and I wasn't sure whether to post complaining about it or not, but I'm glad I did when I saw all of the replies agreeing with me. I'm also glad I got on there early to change my details and remove my FB account. I did make a conscious decision to use the same user id when I joined BP, but didn't expect them to do that.

They have changed it now though, so all is well again.

Our secret santa is being done tomorrow, I got a good pressie last year, so hoping I get something good this year.

I also hope you get something nice jwil

Well today I have made the effort to do my expenses from October

I don't regularly have expenses, and the system we have to use is such a faff, I forget how to claim or can't be bothered as it's just a small amount.

Well that is going to change and I will make sure I claim for all of them. So in January I should have an additional £15. Not a lot but it all helps!

I also took lunch with me today and have sold another two books on amazon - yay!

Hi jwil, just wanted to say goodluck with your challenge, you seem to be doing really well with ebay and amazon sales.

Thanks for popping in pennywise , I figure if I put enough on something will sell

jwil

I've just done my relists now to try and catch people over the Christmas period. Some of my stuff will go out on Christmas day so it will be interesting to see if I sell anything.

I never got round to listing a couple of items, which I'm regretting now as I think they would have been popular for Christmas. Oh well, I'll wait for a free listing day and just put them on for what I want for them.

Was all set to make a small payment today to my debts, and couldn't get into the account :mad:.

I haven't bought lunch today, but we have our Xmas buffet which we all contribute too. I have been given a tin of choccies which I'm not hugely keen on, so I've bought those in with me as my contribution.

DDFW has kindly reminded me that I was meant to pick up a prescription yesterday and forgot, so must remember to do that today.

jwil

Still haven't picked up the prescription, so must do that tomorrow. My secret santa pressie seems to have gone down well so that's all good. I got a nice gift, but it's of no use to me really as I don't really drink alcohol and I don't drink hot drinks. I'm not sure what I'll do with it yet.

I've just redeemed £5 amazon from BP, which is the first for a while.

Last day at work tomorrow before Christmas, woo hoo!

Things I want to do when I'm off:

Clean house and try and tidy back lots of stuff
Get some more stuff sorted for ebay
Read lots of books to declutter and put out for sale
Catch up with Fringe
Watch Bag of Bones miniseries
Do some exercise
Maybe paint kitchen (unlikely but want to do)
Do next OU assignment and look out books for next course.
