Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

Evening A low spend day today, I spent about a fiver on bits in tesco for tea etc, and a couple of quid for comic relief at school today

I've managed to get loads of housework done this evening already, ds was in a great mood after school and amused himself happily with a crane and building set, while I .... changed my bed, have done 2 loads of washing, tidied everywhere except the lounge (well that got a quick tidy but not properly:o ), dusted and hoovered through, filled the dishwasher and put it on and got tea So for the rest of the weekend that leaves: clean the guinea pigs, food shopping, ironing (not much in the pile at the moment ), clean the bathroom. I am really pleased as its sooo much nicer when everywhere feels tidy

I am planning on a quiet evening on here again tonight while comic relief is on in the background, I need to make some money from aqa, i haven't done any yet this month

50p on the scratchcard today :beer: This morning I want to get ds homework out the way and then we're going out for a big family lunch I want to try and find another matched bet this morning too as I am really lacking on the moneymaking stuff again this week

Lunch was lovely I also got the ironing done before we went out :j :j Am looking forward to a really chilled evening and an early night

Hmm, not liking this new board much, although we all didn't like the new colours on here not long ago and now we don't even notice them

Tonight I've gone through all my survey sites, seeing how close I am to payouts, and the answer was a long way on most of them :rolleyes: One of them has enough to redeem for a voucher but I need to wait until they next do a redemption campaign. A couple of others had email addresses on them that I no longer use, so they have been updated and hopefully will result in some more surveys arriving in my inbox

I've also sorted out another matched bet, I've put on the qualifier and hopefully the freebie will be credited at the start of next week

So all in all it has been quite a productive night even if it hasn't ended up being an early one :rolleyes:

It wasn't the colours so much we didn't like, it was the lack of black lines between posts and threads to distinguish them - but they fixed that problem. We shall just have to see how the diary board gets on......but I'm not keen.

Matched betting seems to be going well for you! Good for you! I hope your Sunday is relaxing.

Morning all It is already a beautiful day here today, we've been to tesco express already as we had run out of Cheerios and ds had a major hissy fit :rolleyes: I also ended up buying some pain au chocolats , the sunday times (for the noel gallagher cd) and ok magazine (for no reason really), and have just had a lovely half an hour on the bed reading / eating / drinking coffee

Today we must go food shopping and clean the guinea pigs out, but other than that it will be an outdoors day somewhere Forgot to mention yesterday I also managed to clean the car out, it was absolutely filthy inside so at least now its all sparkly again

We had a lovely day out today, we went to Monkeyworld and saw all the cutie monkeys I have spent rather a lot of money, but it was lovely to just go out somewhere different and have:D a nice family day out. Ds and I both caught the sun on our faces while we were there, and he's done loads of walking, lots of climbing on the playground stuff, and we practised his spellings in the car on the way there too, so all in all a great day

Now I have a splitting headache from too much sun, but shouldn't complain as the weather was beautiful all day. Tomorrow we have another hospital appointment, this one should be a physio session for him I think. He's completed all his homework really well this week so there was no mad rush tonight to get it all finished either which was nice

Hope the hospital appointment went well:D
Your day out yesterday sounds lovely - I wish we had more stuff around here, that girls would be interested in anyway;) I'm very jealous of your closeness to a beach. My sis has that too, she lives in Weston Super Mare, lovely free days out:D

Thanks Milly, yep it went fine, it was physio so lots of rolling round on peanut balls etc His next appointment is at the end of April, just after we g back to school, I did ask them for it to be during the school holidays as I've taken loads of time off but they didn't have any then

I went to Tesco and did the shopping afterwards as we didn't go yesterday, so another £31 spent there, followed by £18 on petrol :rolleyes:

One of my free bets has been credited so I'm trying to find a suitable match to put it on, but it should hopefully bring in around £35.00 for the mortgage pot

Monkey World is a lovely place, haven't been there for many years now I'm afraid.

They do fantastic work there for the monkeys though it's always tinged a bit with sadness for me as you remember how some of them were treated before they got there...:mad:

Have you ever been to Bovington Tank Museum? It's pretty much in the same area by memory?
