    Posted last 3 parcels on way home from work, dd2 already been paid for her sold items as reminded me as soon as saw parcels! So yes, they definitely enjoy making money! She wants to buy skyfall dvd for her dad (birthday mid april) so sure she will be surfing for best price tonight!

    Managed my £5 amazon on swagbucks tonight.

    Just nipped to Asda, only shopped on Saturday but had a few SP type stuff wanted. Unfortunately spent £55 which I think makes me over budget (still out at music lessons) although did get a bootfull. still to unpack when we get home.

    MY BF just got 8.5k ppi payout, jammy cow, sooo jeolous (however never paid ppi myself).

    Sooo tired again tonight, and usually nip to gym for 45 mins which would have woke me up (dh and I take in turns) but did asda instead as DD2 cooking class ingredients to get and couldnt bear the thought of doing after lessons as would be v late getting home.

    I struggled with the budgetting, as already noted, seem to fail every month.... feel this months failure may not be quite as dire as previous though.

    I was realistic enough about my chances not to join in the first place :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Snow has cancelled music tomorrow so get a lie in..... yayyyyyyy!!

    Home late as "leading by example" which is awfully tiring at times, esp as blizzard homeward conditions due to living in the sticks and really bad last mile but home safe and sound.

    Done surveys and SB, on 2nd glass of wine and now diary jumping!

    Got some fab ebay feedback
