    this pc is not very old i think it just needs more memory the bloke has looked at it beforeand said it would be a bout £50 and then it would work much better going to drop it off at 9am tomorrow ! not sure when it will be back i might get the laptop back from my sister on the way home. although i have loads of sorting tidying etc to do so maybe not having a pc would help !!!

    Evening everyone :)

    It's great that you managed to put the ipod down Hayley, well done.

    In the last week I've taken £165 out of my paypal account and have £41 in there at the moment, I'm waiting for a few things to be paid for/echeques to clear, so soon I'll be over the £50 threshold again (tomorrow hopefully). The points for the internet focus group I did last Monday have been added now and I got £30 instead of the £25 I thought I was going to get which was great. I was almost at the £20 threshold for taking money out of my home of research account anyway so I've cashed all my points in and at the end of the month I should hopefully get a cheque for £47.25!! YAY :D I've also got some more 20p's to add to my collection...

    Now for the bad news, I had to buy petrol today but only bought £10, I can't believe how expensive it is now :(. I also spent £10 on a smart black jumper thing I can wear for interviews, my sister keeps telling me to buy decent quality clothes... The one I bought was supposed to be £25 but was in the sale so I'm hoping it will wash up better than my primark ones. I also have to spend £10 on Friday for a train ticket to London to take some aptitude tests which is a bit irritating as I have no money and my travel costs don't get refunded. The final thing I bought was a hoodie from my uni... it cost me £19 but as I'm leaving :( it was more of a sentimental thing than something I really needed.

    Tonight dispatches is about food prices which looks interesting so I think I might watch that later.
    Finally bought a home
