    Afternoon hypno, afternoon all. Today I have:
    - been paid for a missed session last week.
    - sorted the first ever sale of the science fiction mags I put up for sale. Have been too generous with the postage, forgot about ebay fees, but still its gone really well.
    - did my finance practice. In future, I'm going to list the amount I would've made if I was doing it for real. Today, if I'd done exactly the same thing, but for money, I'd have made £180....
    - have cleaned two CDs to put on Amazon later.

    Later I will:
    - put the 2 CDs on Amazon! Nope.
    - send off the science fiction mags. Made a complete mess of this. Weighed them so carefully, and didn't notice they were 1.4kgs, not 0.4kgs, so I made about half what I should have. At least it was still in the black.
    - check with a local 2nd hand bookstore what SF mags, if any, they sell, and what their prices are for 2nd hand ones. Otherwise, they're going into the recycling bin.
    - work on my work website.
    - *maybe* practice matched betting - but that will mean reading through the thread and deciphering what I wrote last night on the newbie thread.Nah, not a chance, out too long today.

    I've done;
    Quidco clicks & changed my mobile tariff to save me £10 a month, that's £120 saved annually.
    What pigsback clicks are there?

    Hi
    I had quite a few piggy clicks today - dove is the only one that I remember off hand though.
    I posted an ebay parcel and have two more items ending today (sadly only one selling though).
    I realised despite it staring at me from my sig for a week that I've paid almost a quarter of my debts off which has been a huge boost!

    Hi everyone

    Today I've done my Piggy clicks and taken my lunch into work which means I got to stay in and not go out to spend on lunch and the rubbish that accompanies it!!:D
