    Ahhhh there is always more on my list...
    I STILL haven't called 3 or found my Barclaycard, I will call 3 tomorrow morning, I will I will!! I will also find something I can do at the same time as being on hold so that I don't feel the time is wasted. There is limited signal (hence why I am cancelling) in my house so I can't move about whilst on hold. But I can leave it on speakerphone and do some filing and tidying in the hallway, which will be a good multi task :-)

    Today I must:
    List some things on ebay (I will try for 10)
    Sort out 1 pile of carpy paperwork- DONE
    put away all the clean washing-folded but not away yet
    watch a zumba dvd-DONE
    start my l*shquests for work
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D
    *NSD Challenge Nov 0/10* *£10 a day challenge Nov £0/£300*

    :D

  • Hi guys :wave:
    Well I managed to call 3, but they have not acknowledged my payment yet so I will have to go BACK to the shop again. This is all a ploy to make me stay on my contract and it's really annoying!! :doh:
    Well at least I tried and its taken me ages to get round to it so I feel better about that :j
    I didn't quite manage my list yesterday, still haven't done my l*shquests or to put 10 things on ebay. I did put 2 on though and relisted 4 so not all bad. I have nearly put away all the clothes too so it's getting there.
    I am just off to work (early so i can go to the 3 shop) but by the end of today I would like to have:

    Done all the washing up
    Made some progress with 3
    Box up the stuff on bookcase that needs fixing
    File some paperwork that came out of the sorted box last night
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Good luck with 3 Suzi!!! I hate it when they mess you about trying to get you to stay :( like being any worse would convince you :rotfl::rotfl: Well done for ringing though - i know you have been putting that off for ages!

    I'm feeling rather poopy today - got a rotten migraine and no migraine meds :o:( have an appt with doc in the morning though so will get some then.

    Despite feeling so rough i have managed to do a couple of things mostly online (while lying down lol)

    boosted swaggers balance by over 100 points today :D thats 2 days in a row i have met the target - not sure if i will manage it all week but we will see :cool:

    did a few vids on maxi too - balance now 2725 so creeping ever closer to the 3000 i need to cash out another £10

    phoned about dla claim - they have written to one of my support workers today and they have 4 weeks to reply :eek: i only got 2 weeks to do the whole form!!! anyway at least its moving - i was convinced they weren't even looking at it.

    added a couple of things to fb selling page - i desperately need some money in to buy oil :o

    checked zopa account - i have £28.97 sitting in my holding account atm - i am not lending it out in case i need to withdraw it this week.

    checked bank account - i have £13.90 in there :o

    tomorrows list so far is looking like this:

    go to gp appt - darn i missed it by sleeping in after being awake most of the night :( got another for 2mw
    get scripts for migraine meds and hrt - ordered these to collect later - done :) thank goodness - i have had enough of this migraine!!
    check how many more free listings i have this month on ebay - 82 left :)
    try to list another 10 items
    sort out ebay parcels
    post ebay parcels
    try and meet bonus target on swaggers - started - getting there :P - done :)
    do spud shillings - done :)
    look for cheque i got from royal mail
    lodge money into account
    contact aviva if no post from them - done :) - they hadn't issued the forms :(
    try and do some packing - a little bit done :)

    no doubt there will be more to add ......

    I also managed to make arrangements to collect my caravan - getting it tomorrow morning :)

  • Hi Fairy, sounds like you had a productive day despite migrane, great that you managed to get some things done. I had to cancel a class last week cuz of the dratted things!
    Sometimes I can function OK with one for a little while but they get worse, and every now and then I have a really bad attack where I cant do anything, I hate them because unless you suffer from them people just don't understand what it's like haha. I always worry people will think I am faking it :rotfl:
    Soooooo, I am currently going round all the houses with 3, THIS is why I kept putting it off, I knew it would be a farce!!
    I have a few things to do today, will check in later though, I always seem to pop on when I am about to go to work :rotfl:
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    :D

  • Waaaaaaaa I want to go to BED, one of the other instructors dragged me into her Spinning class after my class finished and my legs are DYING! :rotfl:

    BUT I have another class to teach so no bed for me. God I hope I can make it through... :-S

    Planned a lovely frugal dinner for the OH tonight out of things we already have and using up some rather dodgy looking things :rotfl:
    I will have a to do list to work through this evening so I will pop it up later :D
