    Yawn.... had a good day's mse work yesterday, and then worked in the evening at my "real" job... been fiddling about on the tiddly mse things, which is just right for this time of the morning. Tho yesterday I did also go in to the tradefair thing, set up a chart (a *single* chart, lol) and check out how to trade on there. I'll do the same again today, but what I should really be doing is:
    - matched betting.
    - my accounts. started, finally! evening.
    - keep up with Floxxie's listing challenge. I'll have to do another ten today to get up to 5 a day starting on Saturday, oops. done, 10.30.


    That'll do!

  • Hi Karmacat,

    Just thought I'd pop in and say hello, I won't be on much due to the op as I'm not allowed to do much of anything except rest for the next four weeks or so.

    Hope all's well with you?

    You're back! Hiya! Was wondering how you are - glad to hear you're taking it seriously to rest, take care hun - I'll watch out for you. I'm good - pretty tired now, but had a couple of good days work wise and mse wise. I've got 3 mystery shop phone calls yesterday, but need to figure out the phone system, I got in a fluster last time, so I'll be working hard on that. I'm wondering about the pain you were in, hoping its gone now and the task is to heal from the op. Lots of dodgy hugs going your way xx

    This really is a bit early.... but I couldn't sleep. I've got much less work-work than yesterday for today, so it won't be too bad. And I finally, finally started on my accounts yesterday - not much, but I'll be able to carry on now. I also rang tradefair and checked I understood their website (I did, hurray) - I'll be watching it all today, then funding it over the next few days and doing some trades to get that £75.

    I'll also be doing another 5 on the ebay challenge - I've got all the books and CDs down from the cupboard they've been hiding in now, so I'll do those and then go on to the magazines. The first lot of which are already hiked out from where they've been hiding - I took photos back in the spring but never did anything else, so thats a bit of a legup. I've just got to get all this stuff online!

    Right... off to get some brekkie now...

    Sorry you didn't sleep well, but it sounds as though your day can be tailored around any tiredness you encounter!

    Good luck with getting on wih those accounts!

    For any newbies that happen by:

    - I changed my utilities supplier. My direct debits were £70, they're now £40 (plus £70 cashback).
    - I went onto a water meter. The direct debit is now £30 lower!

    £70 a month! And I've been on here for nearly two years, and I could save that much!!!! I'm shocked!

    PS - sorry for all the exclamation marks....

    Hi Karma, I really should look into my utilities too. I'm not prepared to switch electricity supplier as we're with the most ethical one. but gas.... I don't think there's such thing as an ethical gas supplier! How did you go about researching the best deal?
