    No, I've noticed that lots of people on here are doing it but I haven't got a clue. It's a shame really because they all seem to be making a fair sum on it. Do you do it ZTD?

    No, unfortunately it requires a bit of time and concentration, which I never usually have together...

    Shame, because it's pretty easy in terms of the concept.

    Am still racking my brains trying to think of ways to increase the ISA. So far I'm waiting for £43 Mazuma, £22.09 Envirophone, £35 Poll Tax saving. That should bring in an extra £100 this week, hopefully.

    Have just purchased a lockable money tin (very moneysaving). I use a money tin and when it's full I've got to open it with a can opener and then throw it away. Decided the lockable tin would be a good idea. Will keep the key at mums so I'm not tempted to open it everytime I need a pound or two. Going to open my tin to celebrate now. Will let you know how much is in there shortly.

    Or you could learn to solder...

    :rotfl: Have just counted the tin - £70 to bank. That'll be in first thing in the morning. Have got about another £20 in there but I can't bag it up cos its all mixed from 10p up to £2 coins so will keep them to go into my new lockable tin! :T

    I don't believe in the concept of hell, but if I did I would think of it as filled with people who were cruel to animals.

    Hi Dizzy, I'm trying my best, how has your day been?
  • Hello GR...I'm just taking a well-deserved break to update. Finally decided to re-do the kitchen colours etc. Tiring work but can't wait to add chintzy accessories etc. Hmmm I know maybe I should have waited till I was debt free but to be honest it's not going to cost me much and I really don't enjoy being in my kitchen at the moment.
    Hope you've had a relaxing week-end. I got up this morning and asked OH if there was any post for me, what on Sunday, he said. I thought it was Saturday, times flying. Off next week though, half term, so using this week to do the kitchen.
    Hope all's okay with you and yours GR.
