I've not really done any of that... any tips on where to start?

I use Vivatic survey site, they pay betweeen 85p and £1 a survey and sometimes send emails for £5 surveys. It doesn't take long to get to the £25 payout. However, the surveys are mind-numbingly boring

Brrr, it is so cold here today. I had to scrape my car this morning and the thermometer inside said it was 1 degree(s) all the way here - eek! :snow_laug it can't be getting so cold already - can't afford the heating bills!

I've got chunky vegetable soup with me for lunch today, think that'll be lovely when it's lunch time if it stays so cold. Also got a pear and a yogurt - I need to lose some of my extra padding! Aiming for a stone by christmas, should be do-able if I concentrate...

Oh well, have a good day everyone

Another day begins it won't be a NSD today as I've got to go to the dentist for a check up after work _pale_ I'm not the biggest fan of the dentist, so I'm hoping there will be nothing wrong!

I've also got a parcel to post, and need some more milk, so other little spends today too. Just got to keep my eye on the ball and keep spending down to a minimum.

Oh, and I also intend to order some christmas presents when I get home this evening

Hey up lovely - its gone brr-ish here but not as cold as you. No heating on here but I am putting the woodburner on at nights.

Goodluck at the dentist I hate it too. Fingers crossed.

Hya SF, sorry not been here for ages....busy, busy!! Well done on your saving and good luck on the house-buying. Hope the dentist was OK, and that you are feeling much better today.

The week started well with a Joan Armatrading concert last Saturday (brilliant!!) and our wedding anniversary-proper on Monday (29 years:heart2:).

Then everything came crashing down on Tuesday with DH being made redundant Despite it being on the cards for a while, it was still a shock to the system. He has got a good pay-off deal, but still hoping that he can find a job soon.

So much for having the house to myself now the boys are off to Uni!!! :rotfl:
