    Morning! Payday at last putting money in savings and finally both the £100 prepaid card arrived and my £50 cheque (when the cheque clears will transfer to savings)

    Nothing much else to add. Sold my halloween costume on ebay for £11 and have a bid on asylum volume 2 (insanity - Shaun T) at £9 so will leave that to cover it if I win..... This normally costs £70 so here is hoping I get that bargain lol xx

    VO is at £2.40 so hoping to get £4 today

    Ooo same Abba I have it on my wish list at £70 so gonna fight for it lol its up tomorrow at 5pm so will try remember to keep an eye on it... even though going out for vodka and a pizza celebrating finishing 4 weeks of insanity month one and eating clean haha :)

    VO at £4.20 hoping to reach £6 today :) Anything I get on OP this month will go to my housing deposit and any extras also.

    I got an email saying I am due £15 for a survey by next week .... will see if that happens. Will be on VO so will cash out amazon (saving for a fitbit and got £30 saved so far) and also this media app thats on my mobile due £20 and they text saying should get first week in March... again I am unsure on these two will see. If yes yay lol.

    Have a good weekend all xxx
