    Morning GR

    I hope so too... was a very odd dream, involving Johnny Cash, cowboys and my ex :rotfl: (could be to do with watching Walk the Line last night, Brokeback mountain last week, and i reckon i want the money back my ex owes me! :D )

    I cant see any hall marks on the vase though... which is a shame.

    :hello:

    Well my loan payment has gone out today, which brings my loan down to £910.64! :j Under the £1K mark.

    Im a bit worried now though as my rent is due tomorrow and i only have £200 available in my account as i wont get paid until Thursday, and me being over eager has transferred the money from her savings onto her CC already :rolleyes: Looks like i may be getting another £50 fine... just fingers crossed they dont return the DD. :o

    A few items ending on ebay today/tomorrow, most have bids :T

    Loads of stuff to posttoday (around 10 items!), so best get cracking on wrapping them all up!

    :hello:

    Well i am feeling loads better than yesterday, felt a bit down for some reason.

    And i didnt get on with work very well, so came in extra early today (it was noticed by my boss, and when i told him i didnt feel i had got through as much work as i had hoped yesterday, hence coming in early, he looked quite chuffed that I had made the effort :D ).

    Sold a few items on ebay yesterday (£15.13) only 1 item didnt sell (a candle holder). 2 more items ended today, so far only one has paid but that was £5.31! :p

    Have started a list of other things i am going to sell on ebay (1/2 price listing on Thursday) and already have around 10 things, so thats cool. Even if they all sell for 99p thats a day in June's challenge! :rotfl:

    Just checked my bank account, and so far my rent hasnt come out, im hoping it will come out tomorrow, and my pay will go in tomorro... fingers crossed! :o

    :beer: The other ebay paid, and that was £3.17. not got anything ending for at least 2 days now, so will have to sit tight :cool:

    I got 2 good emails today.

    1 from Wink Bingo saying my withdrawal was being processed. In all honesty i forgot about it so thats £34.96 to come my way!

    2nd one from PaddyPower Bingo. When i joined up i won a full house, but the system crashed and the winnings didnt hit my account. I phoned them up and they were really nice, said they would refund the money i spent on the tickets and look into it. That was last Thursday, and i got an email today saying they have refunded the £17.50 i won into my account! :j

    So all in all thats another £52.46 to add. Im so chuffed. Will add it as soon as it hits my account.

  • Hi amy thought i would drop in and read your diary as we cross paths on moneymables thread. Sounds like you are doing really well. I wish i was as motivated as you, as soon as i make a bit of extra money from ebay etc it seems to go on petrol or getting by!!
    Im really dissapointed its not going to pay extra off the debts. I am going to stick a bit more stuff on ebay though over the next couple of days so fingers crossed it will be going on the debts.

    Some survey sites that are good to do ~
    Home of Research ~ ive only just found them but the amount seems to be adding up quite quickly. Havnt been payed out yet though!
    Valued Opinions ~ ive been payed out twice since end of last year and very close to my third.
    One Poll and Toluna ~ takes a bit longer to add up but i have eard good things about them. PM me if you want any more info.

    Hi shopaholic :hello:

    Thanks for the poll sites, will deffo look into those in a bit. :beer:

    Re: being motivated, trust me its hard!! I had about 3 months at the beginning of the year where i just couldnt do it. I earnt £600 extra in one month and spent it on a vet bill, food and general rubbish :rolleyes: So annoyed with myself for ages about it, but then decided to get my head down.

    I find transfering my ebay money straight into my savings account and same with any other extra money as soon as i get it really helps, as its not as if i have it in my possession.

    If you put some bits on ebay tomorrow its 1/2 price listing day :T
