But you know when you walk round and you just feel frumpy and chunky and it doesn't matter how much you spend on clothes they never look right??? :rolleyes: It probably didn't help that I went shopping with my mate who's a size 8

Yup, I know EXACTLY how that feels. Luckily for me I don't have any Size 8 friends though!

There's a website that you just put your postcode into and they tell you if organic boxes are delivered in your area, free range stuff - it's www.freerangereview.com there's not many places for meat near me but there are two local organic veggie box schemes. might work for you.

thanks for this skint_spice, i will go and have a look as i may just start buying free range eggs and organic veg, now there are just 2 of us at home for a few months it won't cost so much..:D

Well done benben on overpaying your mortgage, you are a great example and it is inspiring to see your progress

oh I've got one of those size 8 friends too - it's painful! she can't get things to fit cos they are all too big... how awful! if she didn't eat like a horse it wouldn't be so annoying but she does tons of exercise and has energetic job so it just falls off her.

I took a packed lunch to work today and was very good and didn't get tempted into the canteen After work I went to the shops and spent 5.20 on bread, milk, weetabix, butter and padded envelopes then another £5.92 in the post office sending 3 ebay parcels and ds thankyou letters form xmas :eek:

I have transferred £15 from my paypal account into my bank account which has helped get this months target well over the £200 I aim for :beer:

Just checked a couple of my survey sites and my ItsYourView balance has gone up to £52 which means I will get a payout of £50 now :beer: :j I should receive it in the middle of Feb I think so that will account for a good chunk of next months mortgage money :j :j

Hi BenBen, do you mind me asking how long you have been doing surveys for ItsYourView please? Just curious really as wondering whether to do these surveys or not. I have had a look at the terms and conditions of the site and they said that they don't pass on information to third parties so that's good.

I think I joined them about 6 months ago but don't get that many surveys. But when you do get one they're soooo worth it as they're usually about £4 a time and dont take more than about 10 minutes (which most companies only pay you about 50p for :rolleyes: ). If you want to join up I can refer you (I get £2 for doing it ), just pm me your email address

benbenandme

frugalfreda ... have just done the referral for you ... have a look on the up your income board for more survey sites, they're not huge money spinners but it all adds up over the year

Morning all ... what a yukky morning!! I didn't want to get up at all today but now that I am up I seem to have got going very quickly and we're all ready for school with 10 minutes to spare which is unheard of in this house

Nothing much to report so far, I really need to get my thinking cap on for the January challenge as things have dried up a bit there now

Be back later, have a good day all
