    Evening all, just thought I would update you in the wold of pap....

    I listed all my craft stuff but I ahve taken out the £100 I saved for my holiday to cove the postage this week. So after juggaling my soa around I will have to miss £100 to my yearly savings this month. Not so much of a hardship just something I didnt expect. However so far I heve made nearly £100 on my 'stuff'. Ok it prob cost me more to buy but the difference is its not cluttering up my room/space anymore. Have bids on ebay so thats going well :j

    Loving emilys payment a day at the moment. So far I have put just under £5 in my savings which I wouldnt have done withouth this challenge. I am hoping after payday I can put £3+ in a day. I am hoping to spend no money till I go on holiday other than my planned spends. We shall see.

    One annoying thing thats happened though is my desk is broken. I brought this large corner desk in a sale for £15 and it was a bargain and I ahve had it a good year and a half only now its on its last legs. I seem to be glueing it every other day just to keep it together. Of course I am never going to find a desk like this that cheap again but I will need a new one. Hopefully i can buy a cheap and chearfull one using my ebay/sales profits :j

    So thats me :D hope you are all keeping well

    right now I am very very mad. All that walking home from work to save bus journeys for this month was for nothing. I have lost over 16 journeys or £35 :mad: :mad: :mad: I cant find my bus tickets and I am kicking myself. I am going to ask in work if someone has handed them in but I wont hold my breath :rolleyes: so now I have to 'find' an extra £25 in my soa this month :mad:
