I should have den some more over the weekend but my enthusiasm kind of disappeared... I will try and do some more next weekend....

Good luck with the studying.

Managed a few hours studying but very easily distracted (read - will do ANYTHING to avoid). Have more of an idea what next assignment about.

Ebay -- 19 items sold £30.70 made (not including the extra bits will get with postage), which is better than last month but still could do loads better. I suppose folks are skint (like me) but I'm intending to max sell for as many months as poss and doing it once a month seems to be less painful. Some items sold had been relisted a few times so glad to see them go. Plus would only have chucked in charity bag so it is "free" or "extra".

Did quite a big haul of adpoints but still not quite enough available for me to fill my quota.

Cashed in endowment has arrived and is now sitting in my OP pot. Can't pay all in till March 1st when fixed period finishes on mortgage 1. Jans OP is showing in the mortgage accounts.

My surveys keep crashing which is very frustrating. Not sure whether its my posh lappy being naughty.

Got music bill for month, £200 plus they passed their exams (dd1 and 2) :j:jso need new books:(. DD3 will be taking hers in april.

Did asda in morning, did get a lot of stuff and felt that if Martin Lewis had have arrived and gone through my shopping he would have been proud of my frugal ways. Also popped into town to get a few fresh library books and buy 12 rolls of chrimbo paper for £2.

That's great going or eBay HDK as I imagine January would be the most difficult month to sell of all:T

Do you like the new laptop? It always takes me ages to get used to new things, but pretty soon I end up falling in love (I'm still in :smileyhea with my iPad mini - even although it does change words around when I don't want it to:p)

JUst keep losing where I am. Ill be writing something then whizz off find myself on a different website and can't get back... sure Ill suss eventually.... Still want to use old one which is a good thing in this house.

Was desperately hoping to sell some flaming stick insects but still not takers.... Had 2 watchers and was sending them positive vibes.... but no. If don't sell some by spring Im popping a group of them into a hedge. Thought about giving everyone we know some for Christmas but apparently that's not kind.

Aw poor wee stick insects:p

Do you want some?? Make excellent pets, they eat privet and ivy and dance - grooooovy - esp to music (not sure if that is strictly true but does seem to be). You can race them (sort of). They are (as I know you) completely free and will cost you nothing to feed and you can keep them in a big jar with holes in the lid if you want therefore super MS pets....

You can name them... We had a Mr and Mrs Groovy, Mr Sneaky, Mr No Name....

You can even stroke them if you wish...

Back from work. Posted my parcels. Still about 4 to pay. Made about £6 on postage but about 15 parcels.

Nice surprise from TCB, got a £15 referral fee (and has since reduced back to £10 so thought I may get that) and my lap top got £15 back, wasn't expecting as used another code to get 10% off as beat their 5%, and rules said might not get. So £30 more in my TCB pot.

Still no more nectar ad points to collect but did nip and do 3 surveys whilst waiting for tea to cook (batch cooked of course) whilst having a brew. Have enough now for £5 amazon but waiting as not far off a £10 one.

If anyone does want stickies please pm me!!!!!

Cashed in my nectar points (£10 amazon) and TCB (£121 amazon).

Pasta pots for girls for dinner tomoz (batch cooked of course)

Right off to bed.
