...Also because I don't get paid until the 15th of the month (and my budget hasn't gone well this month) I had to turn down five or six MS assignments as I didn`t have the £20 cash to pay up front:mad:
Oh well I am determined to stick to my budget and make more towards the challenge from the 15th
Hope everyone else is having a better week x
Couldn't you dip into your Olympic Challenge money to borrow the £20? Or have you already used it for something?Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times and I'll smash your face in.0 -

Got my holiday money from my old temping job today - £104.38 after tax etc :eek: I had about 5 hours more than I thought banked evidently so that was a nice surprise. As I technically made the money by working up until the end of my notice rather than taking a couple of days off I got the pay and the holiday pay
Also £1.88 interest on my selling stuff account and posted the 2 books:
One to America was £7.64 profit and the other £2.63

oo just back from car bot & made about £129 pure profit!! Really chuffed! Some people will buy ANYTHING & others just take the mick!! Mum will sell the rest when she does a sale so no cutter in the house! Will add it up later & confirm but really chuffed as that means I've done about £200 this week! Need to update spreadsheet though to be sure! I will definately slow down now as very little left to sell! Feeling really tired though as up at 6am! As for another £10 on GFK I'm jealous! In total I won £5 EVER, the other money I made from them was for the special surveys that they do occasionally! Saved £250 on car insurance but wont count that as its not money I actually have in my account, just not money going out!!Nerd no 109 Long haulers supporters DFW #1! Even in the darkest moments, love and hope are always possible.0
