    i can't get over how much your total debt has come down over the past few months mm!!! it is fantastic!!!!!!

    i have some money to come still i had £75 from car boot £102 from quidco i have £111 in paypal and i still have items for sale on ebay amazon trade it and some left to carboot!!
    i might keep the money from the laptop to treat me and dd over the summer holidays maybe a few days camping trip to the zoo etc!

    anyone got anything nice planned for the summer holidays?

    that's a good idea Jen- you deserve a treat and you should still have plenty spare with car boots etc to chuck at your debt.
    Just had two surveys from globaltestmarket, done 10 min of each and screened out with no points so they can stuff it!!
    Still waiting to hear from ipsos and tns.

  • OK, loads to catch up on - we have all been busy today haven't we!!!

    Hayley - you can try contrast baths now (30 seconds cold, 30 seconds hot, repeat a few times) for the ankle, should help pain and swelling - if you feel something is wrong then you probably should get it checked out (but then if you can walk almost pain free its more than likely not broken)

    MM - your total is looking good, October is just around the corner!

    Amy - sorry about the kitten, hope the others are doing better. Good luck with sorting out your tax, I reckon if they owe you money they try to delay paying, but if you owe them they chase you for it and fine you (hmmm, need to sort out that fine!)

    As for me, I discovered my ebay bargain wasn't actually such a bargain, you can get slow cookers in argos for £9 or Tesco for £10 - I'm sure ours is going to be much better quality though (and if I keep telling myself that maybe it'll be true!)

    Had a NSD today so really proud of us (was joint effort as OH rang me to say we had enough for tea and that I should go to the supermarket tommorrow as tomorrow wouldn't be a NSD anyway!)

    Hope everyone else is going alright!
