Money Fritters 'Enough Now' DFW Diary

Hi Folks,
Well I finally got my first round of daily clicks done. I guess I will get quicker as time goes on. I have got pending £17.17 from the seven sites that eagerlearner had on the daily click guide. However, alot of the money pending was given when you sign up to the sites especially money back madness which gives you £10
I have got £0.90 pending so far from clicks. However, they are only the instant ones that have registered straight away. So fingers crossed the others register soon.
I will update my signature.
Also finally got my £25 free bet today and put it on for a football match tonight, once it comes in I will update my signature.

Morning everybody,
It was a busy day yesterday. I have managed to finally finish painting one of the bedrooms upstairs. So that all the upstairs is done now. I have to buy some carpets now, for two of the bedrooms, the third bedroom is laminated so that does not need any. Once the carpet is down that is it finished. Got to start on the kitchen next. I have already made a start and removed the few rows of tiles around the kitchen worktops. However, I think I will be having a rest for a few days now.
Yesterday I finally got my free bet for my matched betting so I made £19.96, which takes my total to £236.04.
However, yesterday I withdrew all of my profits and a little bit of my float in betfair as I need to use some of the money for carpets and decorating and some for savings for christmas. I have updated my signature.
I also found another 2p for my bottle bank yesterday, so my total is £10.85. I have updated my signature.
Today I need to do some washing and some ironing :eek:
Hopefully I will have time for a few more daily clicks and start working towards my next £25 free bet.

Evening everybody,
I hope everybody is doing ok.
Did not get chance to post yesterday as I was busy glossing. I have a bit to do tonight but not a lot.
Yesterday I recieved some more pending daily clicks £0.88. So that brings my total to £18.05. I have updated my signature.
I also found another 4 x 20p yesterday, bringing my total to £3.20.
I also contiuned with my matched betting yesterday. I now need to do 2 more qualifying bets to acheieve my third £25 free bet. Then there is only one more £25 free bet to get before moving onto another site.
I a hoping to pay another £20 off my barclaycard later on in the week as I have only spent £20 out of my £40 budget for diesel this week. I do not think I will need anymore. But I will just have to wait and see.
I am keeping up with the daily clicks and I am hoping, sometime this week to start doing the surveys. Also, at the weekend I am going to try and put some books on amazon for sale and earn a bit more money to pay off my debts.
Also, even though it is only 6pm now I think I can safely say that today has been my first NSD of october, as I am only decorating tonight, so I will not be going out. So one down and nine more to go. I have update my signature.
Anyway take care everybody and by for now.

Hi BowSki_1011
Things are still going well.
The meal plans are going according to plan so far :beer:
I had sphag bol last night and I am having shepherds pie and veg tonight.
I will need to start thinking about a meal plan for next month soon, I do not want to leave it until the last minute.
I think for November's gorcery challenge I will have to up my budget to £80 as I will have to buy a bit of meat and stock items, we will just have to see.
I did some surveys this morning, however I have not had chance to add up my pending total yet. I will do that later on tonight.

Evening all,
I have managed another nsd today so thats 2/10. Only 8 more to go. Signature updated.
I had my shepherds pie tonight from my meal plan, it was not bad, although the flavours were a bit weak. Any tips on herbs or spices or other ingredients for next time?
I have done a few surveys now as well so hopefully I will update that later on.

Hello Folks,
Hope everybody is well. Sorry I have not posted for a few days, but I have been busy again. However, I have managed to do quite a bit of money saving.
I went shopping on friday for next weeks shop and only spent £10.87 on food. So my October grocery challenge is still on track. I have spent £48.82 for the month and have £11.18 left out of my £60 budget for the month. That should last me as I only have one week of shopping left. The food plan has worked a treat, and soon, I will have to start constructing next months one.:j
I am still carrying on with the daily clicks and have another £1.68 pending, taking my total to £19.73.:j
I have done a few more qualifying bets for my next free matched bet, and i have place my next free matched bet on one of the world cup qualifies tonight. So I can update my profit tomorrow. I only have one more free bet to qualify for on that site and then I have to move onto another site.
I have also done some surveys, so my total cash pending is £13.73. I have also got points on toluna = 32610pts. I have also got I points = 385pts. These sites offer gifts or vouchers, no cash. I have also got $6.50 on global market research. All of these are pending, but it is a start.
I have also managed to save £20 on diesel this week so I have paid £20 extra off my visa bill this week. I am aiming to make a payment every week, fingers crossed.
I have found 1 x 20p so my total = £3.40
I have found 1 x 5p so my total = £10.90.
I will update my signature shortly.
Right time for a glass of wine, all that clicking and saving makes me tired.:rotfl:

Hi Everybody :hello:
Well I got a really bargain today, I managed to get 10 birthday cards for £1.00 at one of my local card shops in durham. I have that many birthdays throughout the year that it can get really expensive, so when offers come along I tend to block buy and store them.
I have also found 8x20p so my total is now £5.00
I have also found 2x£2 so my total is now £6.00
I have also found more 1p,2p and 5p bringing my total to £11.08

Thats good savings with the cards. I try and do that where I can. I've a cupboard full of cards, but when I had a wedding lastweek I couldn't find a wedding card, I was well gutted coz it ended up costing me about £1.50 for one as I got it last minute, I know I could have got one much cheaper than that if I knew earlier that I didn't have one in the cupboard.
Where the heck do you find your coins???? I found £1.20 down the side of my sofa yesterday (and felt like i'd won the lotto!) but that was my first time I've checked, and I know I wont find anymore down there in a while!!Initial Debt July 2020 - £6,772.80
