    Reviewed another 11 songs today, only made $0.89 as some of them were hard to judge, currently $9 in the kitty so far. Also heard an amazing dubstep song, but the problem with the tracks on slicethepie, some of them are anonymous so you have to hunt to find the song you loved listening to.

    EDIT - Found the song, was actually sung by Nero - Won't You Be There

    Another 11 songs reviewed today, going to do an update on my youtube channel soon probably for a weight loss thing. Although I might start switching them to monthly gives me more today

    Made $1.78 today on STP (works out @ $45.30) this month if I make that much each day (well average of $1.51)

    Weight loss doing OK, lost 1.5 stones, going for another 1.5, weight lifting will start soon.

    Movember going OK, I look like I've hit the puberty stage,

    Only thing not going OK I'll have to get some ice, the strain of using keyboards and mice all my life is really starting to affect me now. Must have quite a bit of carpal tunnel in my wrist as left hand always tingling. I'll try R.I.C.E and Ibuprofen first, and if that doesn't work I'll try the doctor.

    Not much done lately, been sleeping a bomb, shifts really screw me up. Carpal tunnel isn't really getting any better, don't believe in using things like ibuprofen as I believe them more to be placebo's than anything else

    Going to be reviewing around 15 songs per day on stpie at the moment to play catch up so made another $0.89 today should still be on goal for another $30 towards debt this month.

    Win win scenario on eBay, I need to ebay more stuff, but need to tidy the house to find it aswell so may aswell do stuff in phases and tidy as I list :D

    Movember doing OK (I guess) joys of being a ginger, my moustache looks fairly faint in colour but it's getting there. Lil pup should be flourished by the end of the month. Weight loss no real change. Looking at buying some weights to start lifting soon, and I realised why I gave up biscuits after buying them again. I snack like crazy on them when I have a cuppa. Still the house work should help burn the calories off :)

    I'm currently playing catch up on stpie, haven't had a chance to listen to songs for about 3-4 days so I'm listening to 15 per day at the moment to catch up on the backlog. In today's session I've made $1.78 making this months total @ $16.61 not much but it's adding up.

    Ideally I'm trying to work on something that makes use of my typing skills over anything else. I could happily type up a 10,000 word document from paper if I had the opportunity. Thought about transcription but if I'm honest I don't really understand what it's about, if there's any special methods you have to do, or if it's just a case of persons name 1, persons name 2 and what they're saying. I'm rubbish with grammar but have the advantage of being able to type fast

    Anyway, thought I should blab on about myself for a change instead of debt

    Other that Youtube videos, I love IT and Cars, aswell as trying to lose weight. I am a complete fatty (around 135kg). I weighed 22.5st around 3 months ago, down to 21 now. If I'm honest I haven't really done excercise as such except walking at work, the way my weight has decreased is controlling what I eat.

    I'm looking at buying 3 things to help with weight loss but it means spending money which I don't have or using my c.card which I'm trying to avoid. It would help go towards my overall goal but I'm trying to clear debts as fast as possible :(

    As for next year I've already mentioned I want to pay off as much as possible. I want to pay off all my c.cards without a debt since that's an instant £150 per month spare money to play with or enjoy. Aswell as that I really want a Mitsubishi Evo (it's like my dream car) :o so fingers x'd I win the lotto

    I'll be joining a syndicate next year with 20 other lads from work on the Irish Lotto possibly which means about £4 per month but lots more potential

    Anyway, enough ramblings work to get ready for now!

    On the weight loss I think it is as simple as eat less & movev more.

    Your typing skills are obviously far better than my one finger efforts!

    In it's simplest form certainly. I just want to do the weight lifting as I'm thinking of taking up Rugby so want to increase my strength. Plus it's a personal thing anyway but it can wait for moment :)

    I'm also going to be walking up a hill on mornings, it's not majorly steep but probably about 400-500m of hill to climb local to me

    As for typing skills, I average around 85wpm normally, but can go to 100+ in short burst. I'm really trying to focus on the typing as opposed to music as music ain't really my strong point on reviewing whereas typing I could plod on autopilot all day long

    Got my payslip for this month, getting £1907 so I'm going to pay off my capital one card.

    Shouldn't use my overdraft, worked out it still leaves me around £300 until end of month so will probably do xmas shopping with it or buy my gym equipment for working out.

    I firmly believe if your sacrificing everything for debt busting you should treat yourself often or you'll go mad. Given I'm single and live alone copious treats should be undertaken me thinks I'm still working towards a bigger goal.

    I may even pay off my tumble dryer with that money and it will save me another £12 p/m for debts.

    Next week when I'm on hols for work I've been thinking about going up a local hill near me. It's around 400/500m long (dalton park) and it's fairly steep go for an early morning walk me thinks

    This is the hill btw...

    But you are not sacrificing everthing for debt busting if you are treating yourself on a regular basis surely?
