    Thanks! I'm pretty sure I've done it right, but now I've stepped back, I'm going back to check. I really *am* off out then, so that'll be it for this morning.

    karma just reading back a few pages ...am i right in thinking you have had a mental shift in your thinking ...not really a shift more a shift back to where you were ...like you knew what you wanted but things got in the way and now you are back on track???? sorry if that doesnt make any sense but to me it sounds like a positive upturn for you

    Hi El

    Yes, there has been a bit of a shift.... more a case of, life really is finite (even for me! I'm not immortal after all!) and if I don't change how things are, then my later middle age and even old age is not going to be anywhere near what I want.

    And also, if I do make the life I want, its going to be by taking some carefully calculated risks. Trusting that if I do my house up, it will rent out... trusting that if I do the website idea I've been thinking of, it will be a money spinner eventually.... trusting that when I set a matched bet, I've done it right.

    And yes, trusting that I will trade - the trade I did ten days or so ago, I did it because I had to, otherwise I'd have soon lost the NatWest £100 freebie - they take it away if you don't use it. And the same applies now, actually: I have to trade, I have to use my system, because that has the biggest potential of all the ways I have of making money.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to really focus on that and put it down in black and white!

    Wow, you really have been busy. What fantastic plans (I'll bid for a seat in your camper van too!).

    That's a good idea, listing all the sites you're registered with. I should really do that, although there are so many hundreds of them I wouldn't know where to start. Hopefully you'll find loads of forgotton cash.

    Top marks for getting the euro betting thing going - that's bound to be really lucrative. Hope you can make the remaining £3k-odds from it. I bet you can.

    Believing in yourself is the first step to making these things happen.
    Wanting it badly enough helps! :)

    Am just reassessing plans myself!

    Its just the survey sites, the cashback sites and the mystery shopping/focus group sites (only 3 of the latter, not too difficult!).

    Thanks! Thats outside the remaining £3k whatnot - I want to make a completely separate 200 euros a month from that, as I need to subsidise the mortgage payments on the French apartment, and to do it via this rather than sending over a payment from my sterling account :eek: :eek: :eek: would be lovely, especially as the exchange rate is so carp right now.

    So true!

    I've been to see already, since I'm late replying to this one! They're good plans.
