Bit of bad luck

Why does everything go wrong at once? Last week I had a particularly awful day, first the fridge decided to freeze everything again, then my washing machine chewed up a pair of my daughters leggings. After investigating why that could have happened I notice the drum has a massive dent in it. I also knocked a Demby plate off the work top and it smashed. I thought bad luck comes in threes but I was wrong as some idiot decides to kick off my wing mirror. What makes that even worse is that I only fitted a new one the week before as the old one had been held on with duct tape for most the year. I felt really proud of myself for fitting it as well.

Well the new washing machine arrived today and fridge freezer will be here next week. The Demby plate can wait till the next sale in debenhams and currently driving around with no wing mirror... Might just get the duct tape out again!

Weekly weigh in

Every week the girls in my family weigh ourselves and say if we have lost or gained weight. Well I stayed the same this week so that's ok really. I only have around half a stone to loose anyway. Just need to exercise a bit more.

I have been doing an exercise challenge.. I'll see if I can post the picture...  Well I've just done day 9 and its started to get hard! Hoping to see results soon, I do get impatient haha.

Mobile blogging

Just having a go at blogging from my mobile. I downloaded the free app from Google play and so far so good, it seems to be working!

Anyway I won't make this too long in case it vanishes when I post it!

Earning websites - NeoBux

Other than Swagbucks there are more earning websites, I seem to discover more every day! I heard of one today called NeoBux so searched for it through the Swagbucks toolbar and it won me 10 SBs :)

As I have just joined I really have no clue what its like or even what I'm doing! You seem to be able to earn in three formats: $, NeoPoints and NeoCoins, I don't know the relevance of this yet. I'll have to update when I find out more about it!
 
I think this banner is my referal if anyone would like to sign up:

Back to School and a bit of exercise

The holidays are over, our daughter 'A' is back to school. She really does love school so it wasn't too hard getting her ready this morning, she couldn't wait to see her friends.

Another good thing about going to school is the walk, its around 3/4 mile to school so a mile and a half there and back. Its my chance to get some exercise, H goes in the buggy and we walk to school and jog back. Some mornings I'll meet up with my sister and we will jog along the sea front if its a nice day.  I would like to join the gym but our local one doesn't have a crèche and its awkward getting someone to look after H. Maybe I'll join when he starts nursery next year.

Work stuff

Well I had the grand total of three orders from my website in May... three more than the month before haha. Of those orders one will be refunded as the part won't fit my customers car. one is out of stock and waiting to hear if my customer is happy to wait for it. And the third one, well I hope its third time lucky and everything goes smoothly.

At least things seem to be looking up and the work I am doing to my website seems to be working and attracting people again. Here's to a better June! :)

Swagbucks

I came across Swagbucks this time last year and it seems pretty good.. nice easy way to make a little bit of extra money.

You can earn swagbucks (SBs) from completing certain actions on the site. Swagbucks offers many ways, such as surveys, videos, tasks, polls, games, competitions.......lots of things really.

You currently need 849 SBs to get a £5 Amazon voucher or 1049 SBs to get £5 to your paypal account.  I only exchange my points for Amazon vouchers as you get more for your bucks but sometimes I think the cash would be nice!



Last year I managed to buy a lot of Christmas presents on Amazon and I hardly had to use my credit card! It made things so much easier. Since January this year I have made £140 in Amazon vouchers :-D (although I have spent a lot of it on presents and a few treats for myself hehe). Making £25 a month is very do-able if you can do a survey everyday. I have read about people who have made up to £50 a month!

Here is my referral if anyone is interested in joining:

Apologies...

If my blogs are full of typos I'll blame the fact I am one hand typing whilst breastfeeding our son 'H'. It's not the easiest thing to do in the world but easier than reading a book one handed, turning pages is quite hard one handed!

H has fallen asleep in my arms and I dare not move in case he wakes up.

Mortgage free dream

I would love to be able to clear our mortgage, we have around £78k and 18 years left! The difficult thing is I'm a WAHM (Work At Home Mum) and my Husband has an average paid job. I started my own business several years ago selling car parts and accessories and it started off OK but this last year has been terrible and I'm lucky to have not made a loss. Still I'll keep at it as every penny helps!

So I though I'd start this blog to kinda keep a record of all the things I'm doing to pay our mortgage off quicker.
