how do you enter so many competitions?

Yummy lasagne. I need to do some batch cooking in the next few days in preparation for going back to work.

I use the compers board on here, there are some really good prizes up for grabs i've not really done that much yet only started 3 weeks ago but I thought if I could win stuff to ebay...might help me with my earn £10 a day challenge

Evening All!

Well I have had an amazing christmas, i've spent today getting up to date with my washing and tackling my ironing therefore I have my first NSD of the year! :j

I also got notification that Quidco have paid £42.04 in to my bank account plus a lady I know through my gym has asked me to make a cake for her for £55.. the bits all come to £40 so £15 isn't a bad profit seeing as its a hobby.. so so far i've earnt £57.04 already and its sitting in my bank account..good start for my £10 a day challenge (I got confused last year so I've decided to only count it when it goes into my account)..this means i've got enough to pay my road tax at the end of the month, not sure whether to use the £70 budgeted from this months wages to put into savings or pay for a yearly one rather than a 6mth one :think:

I've done a batch bake of lasgne and i've planned my meals out I just need to make some bread for my soups

This week I have nothing much on so I should hopefully get a good few NSD under my belt, i've been asked to hold friday as a possible extra job so that might be a train fare but I intend to keep my purse firmly shut between now and saturday.

Feeling good today been to the gym have sent in my leccy readings and they are less that the estimated :T

Not a NSD as i've bought some cold and flu stuff.. I can feel it so I thought I'd take preventative measures..and I've paid £3 to go to the cinema next monday with the boy and with sky we get free popcorn too

What an awful day for dragging yourself out to work that wind was telling me to stay in bed! but I got in early...only to find my boss has decided to extend his holiday by a day! :doh:

I've had some good news on the "earn £10 a day" challenge..i've got a research session next week for £50 so between now and next friday I only need to earn £22.96 to be on target! i'm not going to update the siggy until its in my hand! i'm still going to try and earn my weekly target on top of that though i'm a bit behind this weeks target so I will try my luck at surveys again tonight....be good if I can make £170 extra in one week wouldn't it!

I have a new money box too care of a guy from work! I made some cupcakes to bring in for christmas and they went down a storm so he was at a craft fair and saw one in the shape of a cupcake - he even put a £1 coin in it to start me off! So i'm going to carry on with my X amount a day and if i don't spend it or any change left over is now going in one of three pots, £1 & £2 coins (which can be broken into at a later date if need be) silvers and coppers (both sealed!)

Additional tasks for this week (until 8th Jan)

• Bake a Cake
• Do 1 hour of Ironing
• Put the Xmas Tree Away
• Bag up Summer Clothes

So i've been awol...

but I've stayed MSE (kind of!)

another 2 NSD under my belt..it would have been more but I've signed up to a yoga class, it was a very good deal £30 for 20 days when its normally £99 for 30 days and its all part of the new me i'm going to the gym every day and this every other. it is expensive but I've been doing nothing but putting weight on for the last two years and its getting me down and I need the motivation, I love Zumba and body pump and mine has a spa included so its a treat too and often I get a pass to take a friend.

I got paid from my first extra job, however they took the book fee so I only go £7..still all goes towards the challenge, i'm a bit behind but i'm expecting more payments to follow. I haven't done any surveys this year yet so I want to get cracking on that at the weekend.

I've discovered Monday £3 cinema tickets at the O2 with free popcorn so me and the boy went last night and he bought me dinner

I've entered 100's of competitions using the comp boards but not won a sausage yet guess i'll keep trying.

got the tax disc letter this morning £75 or £130 i think i'm going to buy 6mths now and then in June pay for a year, I have that and car insurance right after xmas ever year and its a killer.

Targets for this week:

• Gym [STRIKE]5 times[/STRIKE] 4 times
• Yoga 5 times
• Loose 1lb
• Bag up my summer clothes
• 3 NSD
