    Feeling sorry for myself this morning. I'm physically and mentally exhausted, and now feel like I'm coming down with something. As plan to spend as much of the day as I can in my dressing gown doing surveys so I at least feel like i'm trying to make money.

    Congrats on the trumpet sale Mrs C!

    If you need to take today off then DO IT!

    I honestly believe that sometimes we are so busy with GO GO GO that we burn out. A rest will do wonders for you I'm sure. And you serve it!

    Oops, just realised I should have used multi quote - didn't realise I would be responding to individual posts.

    Anyway, £30 Quidco to add from Weight Watchers FINALLY - I had to go on Live chat to get it sorted.

    I managed to list a few small handful of items on eBay last night. I really am starting to run out of eBay items. I've not been doing Apptrailers so today I need to at least cash out 1,000 points.

    I'm holding a yard sale on Sunday with a friend, so I need to dig out lots of things for that, do some adpoints (saving for a £400 Kenwood mixer, eep) and I'm going to do a lot of work on the phones this weekend (hopefully!). I've got a mystery shop meal out tonight (no fee) and an £8 one tomorrow but I'm not sure it'll be paid within September.

    I just won a week's self catering cottage in Cornwall, whoop! We were already planning on going to Cornwall anyway, so this is absolutely PERFECT! I'm trying to think of how to break the news to my bf.

    Hi Emmaglet,

    Are you taking your bf on the meal out tonight. If so that could be a good time to break the news :)

    I am almost halfway for this month at £223.68 but still a long way to go. Had some of the mileage paid from a charity that we do rescues for but still waiting for another £150. relating to an older claim which I assume must have been mislaid. Will need to chase this up over the weekend. Just for the record we didn't really want to charge mileage but they said they wouldn't call us out if we didn't as they would feel guilty.

    Listed my first item on ebay last Sunday - a comp win I don't really need - and so far have 2 bids and 10 watchers so really pleased with that. The top bid is only £1.04 but as the item can be purchased new in the shops £15. it's not too bad. It ends on Sunday so still got a chance to go up a little. Not gonna make me rich or clear any debts with this one but it is basically free money.

    Hope everyone has a good, productive weekend.

    Chez

    p.s. I will update my signature soon
    That money talks I don't deny, I heard it once, it said "Goodbye"

    am seriously debating about getting rid of tv too as licence due and i never watch it! £145.50 would be nice to hold on to :D
    Debt at Aug 2010 (LBM) £21,908.86, Debt Freeeeee Date 4th Nov 2013 :j:j:j Massive Thanks to the £10 per day thread :A Next goals:

    I told someone the other day that it is like window shopping for a ton of stuff you want but can never afford or justify, and randomly, you get something from that window shopping list!

    Poor you, do a few surveys and then get your self to bed for a few hours.
