    Just came out of the loo to find a card left by the postie. Jumped all over it thinking it may have been a comp prize winging its way to me, but it's a letter sent recorded delivery instead. More than likely my eviction notice :o Oops

    Starting tonight Jo. I'm aiming for a minimum of 12hrs work before midnight on sunday (wages cut off date) which should give about £72 wage. Can't work friday as I'm away visiting the BF. I've been head back from doing it due to a stupid sleeping pattern leaving me exhausted and nerves. But once I've started it'll be fine I'm sure.

    how are you today hon?

    I'm cool, seem to be camping over on the gambling loophole board at the moment! I'm £47.26 up at the moment, although placed a bet today which will guarantee me a loss of 87p but i did this to unlock a free £25 bet next Tuesday so if you take today's loss off that, next Tuesday I'll be £24.13 better off, regardless of who wins!!

    Dez, have a look back on the newbies thread at the top of the gambling board again this afternoon, cos I've been helped out big time re. the excel matcher and I actually 'almost' completely get it!!

    hi all

    thanks so much for all the ideas about these toners,

    JCD- thats the co thats gone bust- adn they were offering us 12.50 each- which would have made us 150 quid! Kbarty- the one you found will offer us about 40p each = 4.80 - i think ill keep looking.

    Im off sick again today, have been throwing up a bit :(

    I have however tidied our empire room ( spare to you and me) and tidied the ebay box ready for action. Ive another book to pack and some letters to write.

    Must do my clicks but the pc is hurting my head :(

    Oh i dont know i just wish we had more time to money make, it just seems so hard right now . But then im feeling sorry for myself cos of these toners, this headache and not feling well I guess.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    sorry to hear you're down and feeling ill again Lynz. Sometimes I get too hung up on stuff (like money and making it!) that it gets me down and I need to get some time away from it all.
