    Amy I'm sure you can do it or get pretty damn near. Have you tried the make 10 a day for January thread? or I think there's a thread in the Mortgage section to earn extra bits and pieces or have a look at past olympic challenge threads and see if there are any suggestions there. Anything you could make and sell on ebay - crafts that sort of thing/cards etc?
    Good Luck.

    Car isn't looking so good, the garage have actually only had a 'quick' look at it, not done any tests and still haven't tried a cam belt in it. It looks like they have literally looked at the valves.

    I'm going to get them to speak to OH when they call as I don't understand and I am getting really stressed by it all.
    Current debt - £16,300 :(

    Hi all, Having a really bitty day today (no, not the Little Britain kind of bitty!)

    Walked the dog along the waters edge, beautiful sunshine, but very breezy, that was quite nice. Then took my first trip of the year to the supermarket!! Loads and loads of yellow stickered stuff around the store but I was fairly good and resisted loads of temptations (including a gift pack of fruit cake and sherry reduced from £6.00 to £1.80 - I remembered after putting it in my trolley that I don't like fruit cake or sherry so abandoned it!!)

    Not done any work today on AQA (whoops) and feeling a bit bored generally. This is the first day all month I've not done any work though so I'm going to try not to feel too guilty at having at least 1 day off this month although I should work really to try to earn enough money.

    Had to say no to a trip to London to meet up with my Mum and 2 sisters to see a show. It will cost £100 for the day the train and the show ticket and I just don't have that kind of money unless I dip into my savings. Missing out on Birmingham for the same reason really.

    Still feeling :( and I had to really grit my teeth not to go beserk in Tesco and spend an absolute fortune to make me feel a bit better.

    Need to hoover, do the washing up and clean the bathroom. I'll have to do the washing up but I think the other 2 jobs can wait until tomorrow.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
