    Still not put my stuff back on amazon after the break I had last month. However, after various bits - mystery shopping, change jar, found from ages ago (uh, being used as a bookmark!), and no taxi after work on Friday night, gives a subtotal of £57.02 (I think) and a new running total of £451.05! Off to update the sig.

  • well me being a glutton for punishment have spent three days of my break from my MAIN job and my second job to help OH at HIS job! They're short of kitchen porters to do the washing up at the restaurant he works in so I said I'd go in over the weekend so he didn't have to do it...... I did 28 hours in total over three days and I'm going to get paid in OH's wages next week so I shall add that to my total next week :).

    Never again, my hands are so sore from being in water for so long!

    Ow sounds like hard work! Well done Poppycracker :T I have difficulty getting the motivation to do my ebay listings after I get back from work :o

    £10 this week taking my total up to £590.75. Going to push extra hard in the final few weeks.

    Great news is I paid some of my Olympic Money into one my bank accounts and for the first time in what seems like forever its in credit! There's a grand total of +£2.52. When we start the next one I'm going to use that account to bank everything and save towards all the big bills for next year e.g car insurance, Xmas '08, brothers wedding.
    LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
    Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
    Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.00
