    Well we are now back from a lovely holiday in Cyprus and it is now time to get serious. :A

    We didn't bring much money back from the holiday :o in notes we have €390, not too sure what that is in £s but I know it is not a lot considering we changed £2000 :eek: Not trying to justify anything but I did find Cyprus quite expensive. Don't know if it's anything to do with the very poor exchange rate on the € or the fact that they have just changed to the € but I was actually quite shocked at the prices on things.

    Our electric meter is going like crazy as there is so much washing to do :eek: I always hate the first few days back from holiday as there is always so much to sort out. At least the weather is nice (not what I am used to though :rotfl: ) as I can put things on the line to dry instead of all over the house.

    I really need to start thinking about what I want to do with the rest of my life (scary stuff :eek: ) I think that the debt should be the priority as once that is paid off it will give me a lot more flexibility. I am back at the Drs tomorrow and I will have to see what he says about my me returning too work. On a good note though I am only about £30 down every 4 weeks on my regular wages so at least I am not under pressure to return before I am ready.

    Well I must go now as there is still so much to sort out.

    The Dr gave me another 2 weeks off work but not sure how I feel. At least I have ebay to keep me occupied and it is a great way to earn some money. I have also been playing free bingo and catching up on my daily clicks and surveys.

    Here is my "free money"

    Wink Bingo £26.27 (profit and still got £14.53 free to play with)
    Quidco £244.38 (tracked, pending etc.)
    Pigsback £6.07
    Onepoll £9.20

    I am going to get really serious with my ebaying too as I still have LOADS of boxes to put on there.

    I WILL BE FOCUSED AND MAKE PROGRESS :money:
