Benbens moneymaking adventure

Another 40.00 paid into the mortgage pot today, from the extra child maintenance I get now This has knocked off another month, bringing me down to June 2028 :T :T

We've had a lovely night tonight, we went round to mums after school and had a big bonfire and burnt the guy fawkes we made. Mum had cooked sausages / beans / jacket potatoes for tea and it was really lovely

Today has been my second nsd in a row too :beer:

The two outstanding enquiries I had on quidco have come back today, one (Victor Chandler) has been declined :mad: :mad: (12.00), but the other one (BT Broadband) has been validated (40.00) :j :j

I had to submit an enquiry about BT broadband too - and the money was recieved by Quidco on Monday, typical, 1 day after they sent me October's earnings (which were only £20, bah!) I do have £85 due next month for taking out contents insurance. The insurance cost me £45 for the year and got £85 cashback - I like offers like that!!!:beer:

No NSD for me - I bought a new PC....:eek: :eek: :eek: Took the old one in as it died a couple of weeks ago, but they looked at it and said it was too big a job to fix...so out I came with new one! Paid £30 to get all my data transferred onto new one, get home and they haven't done all of it:mad:
What an evening, I had to drive back there and make sure they hadn't got rid of my hard drive yet. Not impressed...but new pc is v nice, just desperate for all my photos, music and college work on the old pc:eek:

21.00 from quidco and 22.50 from topcashback arrived in my account this morning :beer: Accordingly chucked into the pot

Found out today we were supposed to get a payrise in April but the union has been arguing over the amount, anyhow, we should be getting it at the end of this month and backdated to April :j I think it will work out to just over a hundred quid :beer:

Off to WW in about an hour, not too hopeful this week as I have pmt and feel bloated, but I've been very good and not given in to the choccy munchies

benbenandme

Back from WW and I lost 1/2lb this week, I'm quite pleased as last week I had my dinner when I got back from weigh-in, but this week I was soooo hungry I had dinner before I went, it was that or risk grabbing a big bar of dairy milk , so I didn't expect anything to come off

benbenandme

I'm actually really motivated by my weigh-in, I am hoping next weeks weigh-in will be a more realistic idea of where I'm at, so I've got 7 days to be extra specially good

hypno06

well done you! I put on a lb.....bit narked because of all the running I have don - the weight should by rights be dropping off :rolleyes: But, I have stuck to my points today, and now crave a bowl of cereal but it would take me over, so I have to resist.....

good news on the backdated pay too :T

benbenandme

Yeah I know what you mean Hypno, I know I haven't cheated this week so only 1/2lb is a bit disappointing, but I do think overall it will balance out, ad I guess yours is the same, the running must be helping but it may take a while for it to kick in on the scales

I bought some of the chocolate caramel bars tonight, the lady on the "sales table" said they taste a bit like mars bars so thought I'd give them a go
