    I have been spending the morning carefully calculating and recalculating up and coming bills - what's coming out, and when so I can get back on track ASAP (actually, was I ever on track in the first place????...)

    I have even listed my beloved and precious molten brown products on fleabag :(:(:( but, needs must. The other two items; jacket now previously listed 7X and freebie makeup have no interest whatsoever (again:p)

    One good thing though...I will hopefully find great insurance deals and be able to go through TCB:T

    Careful planning for meals in order, however I do need to buy dog food, milk, and packed lunch bits and bobs. I only have £10 cash so will be a savvy shopper later on today.

    I think the rain may finally be off, however will be surprised if the sun makes an appearance - no matter though as I have....UNIVERSITY WORK TO DO!!!

    Enjoy your day, whatever you're up to.

    Natty - "Fat, sick and nearly dead" was fantastic viewing. Gave me a bit of a wake up call. Not really into the juice thing myself but have totally overhauled the diet since watching it. I've binned the added sugar and most things containing gluten and feel brilliant. If ever I feel like eating carp I think of trucker bloke and how much he achieved.

    I found the adpoints email, and if I signed up within the next 48 hrs I would have automatically gained 500 points.....of course I didn't:cool: So, do I sit tight and hopefully receive another offer points email, or just bite the bullet and sign up today? Decisions, decisions.....

    you can still get 250 points if you sign up normally, think you get it for watching your first ad.

    Good morning

    Thank you for your posts yesterday evening :)

    I was unexpectedly treated to a meal out last night, and returned home very late (my daughter and her BF decided to take their mums out for a catch-up). It was in a lovely Mediterranean restaurant, then catch up over wine (I took the decision to drive though so none for me:A)

    I will sign up to adpoints today, and also GG's MS site to thank you to Shala and HDK for the kick up the backside on that one:T (and GG of course!)

    Money Mission - I haven't seen you around for a while - nice to see you again though and thanks for posting:T That's interesting about gluten free food...as I have wondered if my diet is too high in gluten, causing my 'bloat'. I don't think I could cut in out entirely, however a bit more label reading and reduction of bread, biscuits and cake can only be a good thing.

    My usual 'no interest' suspects on fleabag are keeping true to form, whereas the MB products have watchers which will hopefully lead to bids. I have an old mountcutter (was a picture framer in a previous life) to be listed next...one sold for over £60 yesterday, and a pair of practically unworn ankle boots - heels were far to high for me to walk any distance at all! After that, I will photograph the Wii bundle in preparation for Christmas listing. Check me out...I'm already advance ebaying and thinking of Christmas (Tilly will be proud of my :xmassign: thoughts)

    Finally, yes US - 100 pages!!! My MFW diary has reached it's centenary with barely a mention about mortgage reduction:D

    Last week of my holidays :(

    I have discovered something very exciting indeed, and thought it only fair to share :j

    My library has started to offer FREE magazine downloads for iPad, as a result I have downloaded all the 'housie' and food magazines for August FOR FREE :T

    Of course, I will have to exercise uber self control and make certain that I do not waste my precious Uni reading time by spending the whole time looking at the photographs and reading the articles....but WOW for :money:

    Check out with your local library folks :D
