    Congrats Emily!

    I always like logging on to my credit card accounts and paying off some cash, it is now way more fun than handing over any form of money.

    I hope you make a huge dent in C1 card this month!

    Hello everyone

    Well I didn't get the chance to do my carboot. The reason being that I've broken my foot :(

    I stumbled off the curb early this morning when I was loading the car up and that was it. I've spent the majority of the day in hospital. I have never broken a bone before and didn't realise how painful it is!!

    Oh well, we're going to do the carboot when my foot is better. The bright side is that I will save money on petrol and my boyfriend will have to wait on me hand and foot (as I did for him when he broke his foot!!).

    I've also won 2 DAB digital radios over the weekend that are worth £80 each :D

    I'm going to try and still do my mystery shops though by getting a lift from someone or getting a bus. My first one this week is on Wednesday. I can't last 4-6 weeks without the money to be honest.

    Hi Em, sorry to read about your foot.

    Don't stress too much about the mystery shops - if you are doing the same marathon mission that I am on (24 visits in 2 weeks), they have extended the deadline until 20th May so that will give you a little extra time.

    Take it easy for a few days, at least - you will not heal if you keep rushing about x

    Hi Emily
    Sorry to hear about your foot. Rest it as much as you can. Do as much on the internet as possible. Have you thought about doing click throughs from Quidco?

    I have still been managing to do my mystery shops with the help of lifts from people ;) .

    I did 2 yesterday, 1 today and I've got 2 tomorrow and 2 on Saturday which my boyfriend is going to take me to :D .

    I listed 6 items on Ebay tonight including the camcorder and phone that I got from Grattans. I've already sold one item for £15 (PS3 game).

    I'm also pleased to say that my boyfriend has seen the light!! He has forgotten about the holiday and has said that a decent future with me is more important :j . He's also talking about selling some of his stuff and cutting back to clear his debts (but will it last??? :confused: ).
