I WILL be Debt Free!!

I've signed up for the £10 a day challenge in April. If I can earn £300 worth of cash and vouchers when the questions are quiet (like now), do 100 questions a day (£1,200) and then add my DLA to the mix, I will be pulling in nearly £1,900 in April :eek:. Not too shabby. The thing is, I know I can do it - I just need to prove it to myself.

(up to 33 questions now).

Just made it to £20 . Was determined to get halfway before heading off to my mum's.

Speaking of which, her Mother's Day present (DVD) arrived this morning. I'll see if I've got some paper to wrap that up later.

Grr. Woke up to an email saying my bingo win withdrawal has been rejected. Something about playing through the funds a few times before I can get access to it. Looks like I won't be able to start making payments until I get paid next month.

Soooo tired today. Just need to take my nephew to preschool and I can make a start on today's questions.

Maybe a nap is called for. Don't ignore what your body is telling you

I can never sleep during the day, unless I'm ill. Will make sure I get an early night though.

Oh to be young! I remember those days

You WILL do it and I WILL be 146 pounds then ...... It is daunting, but wouldn't it be an absolutely fabulous feeling when we hit these stretch goals.

I am rooting for you. You are far more determined than you give yourself credit for, it is all the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' that have knocked you off track, but surely it is your time for a clear run xx.

Thank you - what a lovely post :A

Good luck with your weight loss - we will both shed the pounds!! (me from a credit card though)

Sorry I didn't post much yesterday. Don't worry, I've been keeping up with my questions

I got a few positive things done today though. Firstly, I've just redeemed for a £10 Amazon voucher from Valued Opinions.

Secondly, I emailed the bingo website that refused my £50 withdrawal and complained that I hadn't won the money from a bonus, but from free bingo. The person that replied agreed that my withdrawal shouldn't have been rejected and has put it through again. It probably won't reach me until midweek, but I'll have my £50 to take the card under £1k after all :j - Always pays to query stuff like that.

Thirdly, I found some bonus money sat in another bingo account this morning, had 1 game of bingo with it, and won another £20 . I've withdrawn that and should get it midweek also.

So £70 will be winging it's way towards the Barclaycard at some point next week. I'm also waiting on £6 Paypal money which can also go to the card, not to mention that £45 sat in Topcashback, which is confirmed, but not payable yet.

Hi everyone - hope you all had a good weekend? Happy Mother's Day to all the mums (and hard working aunties like me ).

I had to email our letting agents yesterday as we have found that the flat has fleas :eek:. Obviously we have no animals, so they must have been dormant the whole time we have been here and just hatched or something. OH complained when we first moved in that he was getting bitten, but I wasn't, so we just thought maybe it was happening elsewhere for him (like when he stays over at a mate's or from work). I always get bitten by things as my skin is really salty from having CF.

Anyway, the little sods have made a comeback and are eating me alive. I can see them jumping on my feet and it gives me the right creeps. I'm really hoping the landlady foots the bill for the exterminator, but I bet it's left to us to pay. I'll see if they reply tomorrow.

Speaking of the flat, we had unexpected visitors yesterday in the form of my BIL, niece and nephew. They were giving my sister some peace and quiet, so they came to the shops near me. Now, whilst our flat isn't an absolute tip, we're not the tidiest of people, so they caught us in a messy state (I didn't dare mention the fleas!!).

It made me realise that I would like the flat to be tidier and cleaner. I'm always so much happier when it is, but then we let it get into a state again. So I'm going to attempt the challenge that is Flylady. I'll see what I can do. It's going to be tough with my financial targets for April, but I would like to start getting this place looking better. It will also avoid having to do massive clean ups when we have visitors or inspections.

I'll copy and paste the list into my diary each day and cross things off as I go (God, my feet itch!! ).

Not much else going on. I'm just waiting for OH to get back from his parent's (in my car because it's more economical than his). My mum liked her presents today, especially the DVD.

I received some hair removal cream from Bzzagent to try out. Shame I can't use it at the moment as my legs are covered in flea bites. Daren't make them any worse than they are.

Sorry if I've made you all itch!!
