    Back at work today :( I hated every minute, i have PMT and every1 seemed to be getting on my nerves!:confused:

    I was very naughty and turned on the air con in my car today on way home from work....it was sooo hot and the open windows werent cooling me down.:rolleyes:

    My OH has brought a 2nd car:rolleyes: it was only £975 just a Ka which is only a 1.3 so is going to save him a fortune on petrol and insurance. I got his insurance for £145 full comp for a year after using Quidco.Much better than the £1300 he was paying on the ST!!!! And petrol was costing him £260 a month!! I cant wait to see how much his going to save on petrol end of the month.
    He has kept the ST as his a sucker for cars like me and cant part with it. His cancelled the insurance and it runs out of tax end of this month. What he plans on doing is keeping it in his garage for 6 months saving up his money then he will get it back out and use for a weekend car. By then hopefully he will have sent of his license to have his points taken off so he can get cheaper insurance. I know, i know running two cars will be expensive but try telling him that!:rolleyes:

    All the items im selling for OH and myself have got bids on and one day left so im happy with that.:D

    Im thinking about doing mystery shopping again....i applied for TNS a while back but they didnt want me! :( I might look into the others but im a little worried about self taxing. Im not sure how it all works, i dont want to do it if it will change my tax code to BR. I will have to go research about it.

    Afternoon peeps,

    I think i 4got to say i brought my spark plugs at weekend costing £6 of my own money and £10 from my paypal account. They arrived today, so i will be fitting them later and thats my car service finished. :cool:

    I also had a £1.11 spend today on New mag and sweets - which helped my PMT!!:rolleyes:

    My OH's ebay items end later this evening and are looking good upto £80 of bids so far with 3 hours left. My cinema tickets end 2moz and have bids which is good, one pair is upto £6 already! Fab seeing that i got them for free! Yay!

    The survey sites have gone a bit quite on me, i havent had any since thursday.

    Evening all,

    I did an hour and a half overtime today as we were short staffed, my feet hurt ALOT as i wore these backless loafers today as couldnt bear to wear trainers in this heat, now i have blisters :( I must of lost 5lb's today sweating...making beds and hoovering 23 rooms in this heat, in rooms with no air con was like being in a sauna!:rotfl: :rolleyes:

    Anyway the good news is my cinema tickets sold for £25 all together! They have all been paid for and posted off. Im yet to list the Thorpe park tokens as OH wants me to list more so waiting for him to send me pics of his items then i will list them all together.

    Talking about my OH his driving me crazy as he has now decided he 'misses' the Focus and has cancelled the insurance for the KA and got a full refund back and is going to sell the KA. ...This is the KA he just brought last week!!!! His wasted so much money as he brought a car cover for focus while it was going to be off the road which cost £70!!! a £20 head unit adapter cover for KA, £30 CD player for KA, and £66 car tax for KA. :confused:
    The KA will easily sell for what he paid and maybe more. But if he can get his money back on the other things im not sure i suppose i will be selling them on ebay now too!
    MEN!!! :confused: :mad: This is the only problem with my OH.....cars he has owned 28 cars in the past 6 years that i have known him!!!

    Lol, when i brought my car 2 years ago i wanted the 206 cc but i thought i plan on keeping this car a long time so will need space in the back for baby so went for my 206 gti instead. It has quite a big boot, i know a 5 door would have been the best but 5 door cars aint my style and dont come in a Gti. :)

    Hiya Maria,

    OMG - 28 cars? i thought my OH was bad. He has bought 4 cars already this year. He just can't make up his mind. Sold his Type R, then got a C2 as a cheap run around as he bought a brand new flat, the car wasn't too bad, got the VTS version so was a lil bit sporty, he soon got fed up of having a boring car so got a Vauxhall Corsa SRI, again soon got fed up, then decided to get a Smart car for some fun, kept that a week and more or less chucked 1K down the drain, then got a Renault Clio Cup, now back to a Vauxhall Corsa as they are cheap. He is now looking at a BMW 330ci as the BMW M3 is too expensive to run. I looked at the brand new Vauxhall Corsa SXI today, £17,000 - it was totally amazing though.

    Well done selling the cinema tickets.

    Hi all,

    Hi hayley how was Itlay?

    Another very hot day today! Hopefully the weekend will stay like this!

    I got bored yesterday evening and made some fairy cakes with icing and sprinkles on the top!:o and i thought to myself i cant wait to make cakes and things once weve moved out. And espically when we have children, im such a kid i love making things with my nephews. I cant wait to be a housewife!:rotfl: :D ....how sad!
    Everyone esle on here hates paying bills, running the house etc. I cant wait!! I cant wait to look around for the best deals and bargins for bills and furniture!...i know this may change once all the bills are coming in though!

    I dont know how you've done so many reviews Lilmiss, ive only just found the site and did 9 earlier...just another 11 to go then! I get bored easily and start looking on our sites at the same time.

    Yesterday i phoned up for an application pack on a job at the local hospital as a office assisant. So hopefully the pack will come 2moz. Office Assisant isnt my dream job but its better than what im doing now!

    I get paid on monday so will finally have some money in my account!

    I have done most of my list so far but im still waiting for my OH to wake up and send me photo's of what he wants put on Ebay. He had work this morning 5.30am till 12pm and his gone to bed.
    So im really bored with not much to do, plus this weather is making me feel pretty tired too and i havent done anything! :rotfl: :o

    Im thinking i might take my dog for a walk with two empty ice cream tubs and go on the search for blackberry bushes to keep me busy. Free blackberrys for my mum!;)
