    Hi sophiesmum, its only quite a list if i get most of it done and stop spending all my time on here:o

    Not doing too bad though, done most of my clicks and have placed a matched bet and am playing the dreaded bingo.

    I posted my first cheque for £300 to open my 6.4% savings account with Hisave on Martin's recommendations!

    Oh and I caught up on Toluna surveys, I now have enough points for a £12 CD Wow voucher to treat myself to something!
    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Since its sunday I'm going to be doing nothing:

    -I will not put the washing machine on (saves electric)
    -I will not put tumble dryer on (since there is no clean washing)
    - I will not drive the car
    - I will not do anything that isn't absolutely necessary
    - I absolutely will not spend any money

    then tomorrow I will be refreshed

    Hi everyone

    Having a lazy day at home, NSD for me today as I'm not going out at all today. I have:

    * checked bank account online
    * cancelled my overdraft yesterday, after letter from HSBC telling me that
    from March they'll be charging me £25 per year for the privilidge of having
    an overdraft that I never use!
    * updated my spending diary
    * checked my budget still on track
    * eating left overs from dinner last nite, chorizo and brocolli risotto

    Have a great day everyone!
    Cheers
    Casper
