    Hi everyone

    I have completely smashed my target but it feels like a bit of a cheat! My OH finally admitted that we had to sell the caravan. It was very difficult for him for various reasons and I haven't pushed him about it but anyway it went today for £2500 which we really need to pay off some debts and get us through Christmas etc. We also need to sell the jeep we had to pull the caravan so there will be some more money to come from that too hopefully. I haven't really made much other money this month so I am definitely counting it!

    Have a day off tomorrow as school is closed and am soooo pleased. Good luck for the last few days of the month everyone

    Hope you enjoying your day off and weather's better than here - which wouldn't be difficult :rotfl:


    Shame you've had to sell your caravan and jeep, but it must be a weight off your shoulders to be able to pay the debts and enjoy Christmas. You could maybe plan to save your monies from this challenge towards another one later on.


    We lived in a caravan for four years - two in Southsea, Portsmouth and two in Holland, near and around the Ijsselmeer. We were contract painters and it was the easiest and cheapest solution.

    Hurrah, I took a chance today with the Health Lottery - I've never played the Lotto or any other lottery, but I saw an advert that pointed out that if I deposited £10, I would get a bonus £5. That would never be enough to tempt me, but I checked Qui*co and they were offering £4 cashback if you deposited £10. So, I took a chance, deposited £10 in the knowledge that was only really costing £6 for £15 worth of play. Anyway, my first lucky dip ticket won me £20!! So, £10 back to my bank account and I'll count the other £10 as profit :) Hopefully the cashback will track, and I still have 14 more tickets!

    Ha ha, that's a longwinded way of saying I made my £10 for today :j
    Well done. I am always worried about gambling and hardly ever buy a ticket for anything. I do like the free ones though :rotfl:

    Sorry I haven't posted much but have been busy with family things! Not that I have much to report, awaiting payday to see if my target has been hit.
    I've had a letter from the toy auction house and one of my models- sealed and unopened is set to be auctioned in December, not sure about the rest yet!
    Good luck with the auction and hope you make loadsa monies :D

    That's brilliant, Lynne:j. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to work that lot out:T

    Right, just off to think what I can waffle on about;). Not usually a problem:rotfl:
    No probs CBC - I love playing with numbers. Think I was originally destined to be a banker - just wish I'd done it now :D

    Morning all

    Was planning on a bit of a lie in this morning for my day off but have been wide awake since 6:30! Still it is nice not to have to rush about. Original plan for today was Christmas shopping but as it's Black Friday think it might be a tad busy in town! Also despite caravan money we still need to be really frugal so think I will give it a miss. My lovely mum has offered to take me out for lunch though.

    Have a good day everyone

    Sharon x
    Hope you enjoyed your lunch Shariann. Don't blame you steering clear of the shops after the scenes last year :eek:
