    Hi babes,

    You have to reach 10,000, very easy to reach though. So for every 10,000 points you get a voucher.

    Good idea about starting when you have a bit of time off, can be a bit much trying to write reviews in the evening, especially after a hard days work.

    Let me know when your on there, i'll look add you to members so trust, that way i can read your reviews and get your points up!

    I had a bit of a horrible day yesterday, but i won't go into that again on my diary, i don't want to come back and read that, depressing.

    Onwards and upwards....

    Today i worked out on the snowball calculator i should be debt free by Feb 09. I'll aim to clear it before then, but if not i'm happy with Feb 09. That date has made my month.

    Hi babes, i'm okay now, thanks tho hun x

    I'm glad to say the last few days i've been feeling much better. Unfortunately i didn't manage to get the time off work to go visit my sister and my niece, but i've been doing lots of thinking and now feeling better within myslf.

    Today i bought the Guardian newspaper for 80p, inside was a starbucks voucher which got me any size coffee for free, so i got a large latte. I normally like to buy a coffee every morning before work, but lately have been stopping myself going past Cafe Nero :j

    I neded to buy some lunch today i didn't make any, but i only spent £2.50 so wasn't too much.

    I borrowed my friends Jordin Sparks album today, i wanted to buy it but then found out she had it, so thats saved me £8.99. Going to put it on itunes now, and transfer it to my ipod.

    Today i managed 4 hours overtime, and i should be doing another 8 hours next week, and another 16 hours overtime the week after. So in total should be around 32hrs overtime for October :j . I only work part-time now, but luckily still get paid the same amount as i did when i worked full time. When i'm needed to come in early, i'm paid overtime for it. result really because i'm just coming in the hours i would normally be in if my hours didn;t go part time lol. Plus, once you've gone over 7hrs overtime, it goes to time and a half.

    I want to start getting into matched betting, but still not figured it out yet, so won't risk placing a bet. My silly OH came across a bet the other day for the England game, put £10 on and get £110 back if England win 3-1, and guess what they did, but he didn't put the bet on, even when i told him too, how peed was i. I let him off though!!

    Its a quiet night for me tonight, bit of internet browsing, then a film, then bed.

    Oh god, i'm browsing Play.com, like i have been doing all evening, and have found so many dvds i want. I am deciding whether to buy some Disney dvds. I love Disney films and they are on 241 at the moment. Theres a few i want to watch again, not seen in years, and maybe once i've watched them i can give them to my niece, she loves Disney too.

    Dvds are £15 each, but its 2 for £15. Decision. I'll still be deciding tomorrow no doubt.

    I'm happy to report i didn't buy the dvds last night, i just about stopped myself. I clickly shut down the page before i could get my card out lol. I may have another look on payday, depending if i get any extra this month.

    I'm hoping for a cheap day today. Going to see my mate who's just come out of hospital and in lots of pain, so will pick her up a few magazines, and some grapes (she loves grapes), plus they are healthy, better than me buying her choccys. Then later on, think my OH will just be chilling.

    We have £40 Pizza Express vouchers so i think me may use that for later for a free meal out, or use them tomorrow for free lunch. We are part of the Pizza Express club so if we go lunchtime we get free desserts - yay!!

    I had a call this morning from Dogstrust who i pay money to each month, not alot, around £5, but they called this morning telilng me about gift aid, and that they can claim tax back on all my payments if i agree to sign up. Of course i did, i want Dogstrust to get any extra money they can. I think he said it works out 28p per pound they get back, and they can backdate it 6 years, so thats excellent. Its good they call and tell you about that, otherwise i'd of never known.
