    Ok, so I'm still here, but just another quick thing before I go to bed :p

    I was having a root around the up your income forum, and the work at home jobs looking for text work when a company that sound familiar was mentioned. So I googled it, went to the home page for a nosey....... and it logged me in! :eek: It was the place I registered to do chat with last year, and I'd totally forgotten all about it! Whilst I'm still not interested in chat work it now has a text section which I couldn't access. So yup, you guessed it, I'm giving the office a call in the morning to see if I can get myself a text I.D!

    Fingers crossed :j

    Well done on the ebay stuff JCD :j I hope it continues for you for the next couple of weeks then you can get shot of those arrears once and for all.

    Good luck with the "text call".......I am sure you will be able to do something with them.

    It'll be the youngsters leaving the family home and not understanding the concept of not getting in the way of cars...
    Hope you manage to get the text job. x

    ___________________________________

    I've got nothing up on ebay just now, I need to try to budget a but tighter this week but it's a bit hard given that I've got 4 bags fo ADSA smartprice pasta and a bag of museli in the cupboards. I'm not going to starve myself, so there'll need to be a even keel somewhere. Just gotta tweak what's left of my money this week is all.

    Today I went to the credit union with £2 in 1s and 2s, to make a deposit for the first time in ages. When I was given my reciept I checked it to see my little seedling of copper coins then I noticed the balance of my account. £93.17!! :eek:

    I've had a little savings in there for goodness knows how long, but what a lovley suprise! I'm going to leave it there untill the end of the month and put it towards the rent. WHICH...... if you consider that:

    Ebay total so far: £72
    Credit union funds: £93.17
    Deducted both from rent arrears leaves........ £98.83 :T

    AND I just heard back from the text job, I've a test to sit to see if I will be trained! :T:T DOUBLE AND... I've finally got my printer working, so I can FINALLY get around to doing some mystery shopping :T:T:T


    I'm going to go eat my pasta now before I get too excited and jinx myself. The end is getting so close for this darn thing. YAY.

    Cheers hon, it's creeping closer and closer. I'm knackered, but things feel good, if that makes sense? Anyhoo, update time now. I need to be in bed early tonight. x
