First year - £42k to £35k....

Morning all

Just having my 'breakfast'. Thank god OH has gone back to work. He was driving me up the wall. He moved my contact lenses in his 'sort out' yesterday, so there was me at 7am this morning looking for my contacts when I'm as blind as a bat. OH eventually found them.

Anyway, I must get those online MS jobs finished today. Just made a few phone calls and later I have to put £100 into OH's account to cover a DD that comes out tomorrow. I have been assured that he will pay me back on Friday when he gets paid - he better as the £100 is coming out of my car money.

Speaking of which, just 1 week to go and I get my new car :j. I will miss my old car though. I'm just hoping that this one is a whole lot more economical. I think I'm going to have to put £10 into my current car and fingers crossed that sees me through. Going to try and limit my journeys if I can.

My favourite body spray ran out this morning (Impulse New York - which is hard to get hold of). I've got 2 Tesco Just Pink ones that I bought ages ago and never used, so I vow to use those up before I buy anymore.

Right, online MS jobs are nearly done. I've completed one, but am waiting for an email response for the other, but everything else is done.

Rats - Andy Murray is losing . It's tough to beat the Spaniards on clay.

Weird things are afoot around here. I think my OH was abducted by aliens during the night. He has just emailed me to say that he's going to list his car on eBay over the weekend and pay off some of his debts with the money. I mean, it's got to happen yet, but his mum and I have been trying to get him to sell his car for ages. He can't afford to tax or insure it and it has just been sat in my parking bay for months on end (it's a 'lads' car - I don't understand the appeal).

Anyway, he's away tonight with work. I put £10 in my car last night and that has to last me 6 days. Really hope I can avoid putting anymore in. No unnecessary journeys for me.

Wow maybe he's been thinking about his future with you maybe...or has had a LB moment!

Kepp

Make sure he gets it on there before he changes his mind!

Emzilla

Thanks GRC and Beccie :A. I've charged the camera up so he has no excuse .

Finished that online MS job, but have since been given another one, so my aim is to get as much of that done as I can this morning. It's not as long as the other two, so should only take an hour or so.

Mega windy here today. Think I might save petrol and let the wind blow me to my mum's flat later.

Don't think OH has seen the light that much. He has just gone out with his mates (in my car - under strict instructions to replace any petrol he uses) and he has bought me a chocolate Buttons cake (can't really get mad for that though - it's the best cake ever ). He still says he is listing the car.

Anyway, I did the most I could on that online MS job this morning (waiting for an email response), and I then got allocated another this afternoon. I think I'll tackle that one tomorrow though.

Received my £3 Luncheon vouchers this morning and have spent £2 of them on some lemonade from Sainsbury's. 4 2l bottles for £1.99 isn't bad and it's better than 7up at £1 a bottle.

Better go - the cake is calling me .

Hi can I be cheeky and ask what the MS stands for.

Is it a job that anyone can apply for?

By the way good luck with your finances hope you achieve your goal :beer:

Hi Kelpie

MS is mystery shopping. If you look on the up your income board, there are a couple of threads on it. Anyone can do it on a self-employed basis.

Hmm, that cake was lovely - and I still have loads of it left :j .

Currently roasting a pork joint for dinner. Hope it turns out okay (I'm not much of a cook ) Still trying to use up what we have in the freezer.

Withdrawn £3 from Paypal this morning (survey payment).
