    Been AWOL on the SW website. I have lost 10.5lbs so far. Moneywise I have gained £100 in love to shop vouchers(to put towards christmas), the £70 somethhing I'd saved by changing phone line, and £458 compensation I recieved this week. Also found around 50p roadkill the last few weeks. Really chuffed with all this as was only attempting £200 with the 2 stone and I'm over £600 better off. Have never ebayed but as its a free insertion weekend and I'm free tomorrow I might give it a go!

    Snap! Minor miracle that I haven't actually gained any after all the rubbish.

    On the positive side I have actually raised some funds and need to update my signature. £9 surveys, £20.07 for a book on A and a few pounds from quidco. More importantly I found everything I need to sort out the tax man and drafted a letter. This should net a minimum of £1k in overpaid tax that will keep us afloat for a little longer.

When got my first wage a couple of weeks ago for £700 and paid £750 of debts :beer:that was all my wages plus selling the radio and meter from my car (it was a taxi until September) I now want to try and use all my wages to pay towards my last loan (apart from bank of mum and dad) which currently stands at just over 6.5k!!

    Good going jaffacakegal, and everyone else.

    I got on the scales today after the gym for the first time in two weeks and seem to have gained either 1 or 2 kilos. I have been baking puds for 2 young friends of my daughter's who are staying for a while. I seem to have helped them eat them though. This must stop.

    On the money front I have received a £5 voucher for M&S from the FT for trying out their newspaper for a month for the princely sum of £1 and another £5 voucher for Sainsbury's ordered from my cc company. So money total is now £257.
