Hypno's recession busting debt diary.....

Savvy_sewing

Wasnt following you last year to know what your talking about, but pleased for you that your going to get even more money coming in, and I hope it continues to pour in for you.
Today I have another social worker coming to meet the twins, this time to work with both of them. Lets hope that twin1 stops rebelling and accepts the help. ! Better go and get dressed myself as I have the doctors in an hour and I have to go across town as I never moved doctors when I moved here. Have a good one.

I used to do shop and scan Hypno, I only stopped because the scanner thing wouldn't work properly and then my old computer packed up and by the time I got it all sorted they'd had enough of me It was ok, not that great,but near xmas it was really good and paid loads of extra bonuses, just takes a while to get in the habit of scanning everything ... sometimes I'd forget and have towhizz round the cupboards scanning random things Ds loved it though

Shop and scan sounds interesting.
'cept I can't scan stuff from the butchers, the market and the farm shop? None of them come with bar-codes......

I remember the writing of the downloads. I'm so glad some is coming to fruition.

Right, nicely ensconsed at my desk with Fake-occino all made even with chocolate sprinkles on the top.......still not as good as the real thing but is aiding the NSD campaign!

I am hoping the kids will get involved in shop and scan - it should be fairly easy as I am trying to only shop once a week and Mr T delivers to us so the kids have to help put stuff away anyway. This will just be another "layer" in the shopping process, and if it brings in a voucher or two, then all well and good!

Fake-occino! Hmmmm, I wouldn't be sure about that either. I'm still buying Tesco Value ground coffee, but its improved ten-fold since I put the electric perc away, and started using a little manual thing - a filter for individual cups, you just stick it over the cup, and clean it out each time. It does away with buying filters, so very mse, and it tastes stronger, I think it keeps the water with the coffee for longer, so very yum too.

Coffee trauma.... who'ld've thought? :rotfl:

I can relate to coffee trauma!

Actually, these fake cappucino things are not so bad.....I've had worse. And they are definitely much cheaper than the real thing, so I can't complain!

I love shop and scan You just scan your weekly food shop and anything else you buy from the shops listed. You get £1 a week and for three weeks before Christmas, it's tripled. They have a sister site which you might get invited to join later and then you get even more.
The rewards are in vouchers, quite a spread of places you can order them for.

That sounds good - if I set it as a job for the children, they can earn their own vouchers.........(and put my shopping away at the same time!)

My children would love to do that too! How do you register for shop 'n' scan?

I think it was as a result of one of the other surveys OH was doing for lightspeed or shop and scan.

One of the questions was "would you be interested in scanning your shopping in return for vouchers" to which he responded "yes" and then he got a phone call several weeks later saying "can we deliver your shop and scan handset"!!!

I looked it up on MSE and there is not a great deal about it, but a look on the freebies board or Up your income might give you a more direct link! We have just sort of stumbled across it indirectly! (as you do!)

But I agree, ideal for the children to do!
