  • today I have done / will do the following:
    • spent time surfing the internet for mystery shopper/consumer testing sites.
    • Have joined a consumer testing site and earnt nearly 10,000 points doing 2 hours worth of surveys!
    • Posted 24 parcels of items sold on ebay (that meant spending money though :eek: !) However, went nowhere near the supermarket next door to buy lunch - a very bad debt-inducing habit of mine ;)
    • will log onto ebay about 7pm to see how well my other stuff sells.
    • will log onto amazon to investigate how to sell books, advice obtained on ebay and bootselling forum very helpful!
    • Write a letter to my bank to cancel loan protection payments (adding a total of £259.00 to my repayments by having protection).
    • Surf the freebie sites.
    • Read through the forums to get encouraged and inspired!
    • Think about starting an online debt diary to get myself focused.
    Sound like a lot but today is my day off!
    :eek: Total debt £21,000 :eek:

  • Starting very early this morning (couldn't sleep - not sure why) I've registered with Quidco which I hadn't heard of till 5 days ago. Within 12 hours, I've made £3.75! Checked my Valued Opinions and I'm at £9.00

    Also, put all my loose change into the piggybank to tie in with the £75 by Xmas challenge;

    Bought loads of veg to make some cheap lunches and dinners for next week - got a large hot flask from one of Aldi's offers last week. It's like a Thermos but you can put it straight into the microwave to heat things up and it's been a godsend for my packed lunches;
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Today I
    - phoned up to see where my new 0% card is - they didnt recieve my signed docs sow ill send out again
    - washed on economy and dried outside
    - used reusable nappies on baby
    - my energy saving lighbulbs arrived
    - got lift to town and walked back up the big hill - saved petrol and lost calories!!!
    - refrained from buying additional items in Lidl - only 3 items I went in for!
