I want a holiday but to be fair I probably don't deserve one yet - I went on a weekend to france in January and am staying the night in a spa hotel soon (both done on the very cheap) - but oh what I wouldn't give for a week lying by a pool doing nothing but reading books, eating lovely food, drinking lovely drinks and talking rubbish with a friend.
I used to think I would hate doing nothing holidays but I was very wrong.
I love Monsoon clothes but they're so expensive. Will have a little look on ebay and see i I can find your listings. Have a little in paypal (made from selling some ornaments) and I could do with a few new bits and pieces.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

How lovely of you! I have managed to score some great Monsoon bargains from ebay in the past like pretty vests for about £4.50 with postage. My stuff that I listed is mainly from old seasons but I am endlessly amazed how quickly stuff gets on there now, you can often get items that are still in the shops.
There is also a Monsoon discount shop in Portsmouth, if ever I got sent there with work I used to take a wander over to the discount village to see if there is anything I fancied (although that can be a dangerous game)£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

Hey everyone, sounds like everyone has been busy posting and hopefully working on that debt. Not much to report from me, am busy filling in surveys tonight and having a relaxing evening at home after my first day back at work after school hols.
Debt free me, in answer to your question, i do just about everything going! Me and my partner have two flat mates so pay very little rent , bit of a killer though when you want some time alone! I also do surveys, daily clicks, mystery shopping, selling on amazon and ebay, matched betting, slice the pie(music thingy, when i can bear to put up with it!) I've also been doing a little free bingo but not much luck there.
My wages from my job are really poor so its necessary for me to do lots of extra things. Have decided to apply for a new job tomorrow, its the same hourly rate i'm on but seven hours extra a week and am less likely to get physically attacked like i do at the mo.
Have to say though, i see people like taxi and hypno on here and it amazes me how well their able to make that extra money, everyone else's progress helps keep me on track.:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Poorandindenial, know what you mean about the retail outlet in Portsmouth, my friend and i went there for a day out, big mistake, although she did get a lovely monsoon dress that had only been in the normal shops for two weeks and got it for £40 less in the outlet.:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Evening all, received a bingo payout today and got paid from a mystery shopping company so thats an extra £45 to add to my total. Am looking forward to pay day when i can have some money to match bet with and improve my total. Just did an update on my spread sheet and am pleased with my total, not sure how i have managed to do so well this month but not going to complain!
Taxi73, what are you doing waking up at 2.50 in the morning!! It's still the middle of the night! Mindst you i used to work night shifts and really enjoyed them, what with work getting me down at the mo, its tempting to go back to them!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j
