    Not too far off then.

    Have you done the offer at the side for ITV?

    Yep done that one. I enter tha comps in the hope of winning loads of Piggypoints. I want them to get some Blockbuster Vouchers in as I'm going to give them as a gift for my friend and her OH with some popcorn. But that haven't had any for ages.

    Afternoon!

    I've had a really busy day today. I had my fire warden training this morning. I can now use a fire extinguister, and evacuate the building! :T Work has been manic and people just seem to be adding to it, but I am enjoying it, which has to be for the first time in ages. I'm guessing that this is a step in the right direction.

    So jobs for the weekend....

    - Work my way through the free quidco list.
    - Go through Pigsback and make sure I am signed up to everything that will earn me free piggypoints
    - Do Loads of Housework
    - Package and post my Amazon sale
    - List more things on Amazon
    - Check ebay listings (possibly list more)
    - Enjoy time spent with OH.

    I am also going to sit down and make a list of what Christmas presents I have left to get, who they are for and what (if I know what they are getting) then I can work out exactly how much it is going to cost me. I figured I can shop around and make sure I get the best deals and any cashback etc.

    I might move some furniture around and have a general reorganisation, if I can be bothered of course!

    Have fun x :kisses3:

    Well I am glad to be back.

    How are you??

    I have an edit.... I want to make some Christmas card tags this weekend to. I have loads of wrapping paper and some of the designs will make good name tags.

    I am still going to SW, but I am really struggling with my chocolate and 'bad' food intake. But it's so hard to cut back.

    So if you have any tips that would be great.

    Erm, we had chips from the chippy last night, so who am I to advise :rotfl:

    The way we're looking at it is, if we eat SW all week, we can have the occasional treat here and there.

    We would get too fed up with it if we were too strict. People are really noticing the weight loss now, so I'm not too bothered how fast it happens from here. Another stone before Christmas would be lovely, but I'm not going to stress out if I dont make it ;)

    Lucy just a thought, do you shop at Tesco at all ? If you have Clubcard vouchers, you can redeem them for a deal for Blackbuster. This quarter's vouchers are due out now.

    http://www.tesco.com/clubcard/deals/product.aspx?R=190

    You need £11.85 in vouchers to get 12 rental tokens.
