I do play free bingo but never win as there are a thousand other people playing too.:p

At least it's free though, so either way you're not losing out on anything. Keep on trying with the free ones though as i've seen quite a lot of people on MSE win from the free plays .

Well done on putting money into your ISA, i'm sure it'll build up in no time .

Another £3 (finally got the greenmetropolis payout i requested 2 weeks ago!) in ISA this week but sadly nothing else, my extrabet hasn't paid out for the 2nd month in a row on Quidco which is a pain, really hoping it shows up next month!

Prob won't get OH's signup cash until next year :rolleyes:

Money is even tighter this month now as OH has gastroenteritis and has been off sick since Tuesday and doesn't get sick pay so will only get 1 days wages next Friday and he was off sick last week too for 2 days so only getting 3 days pay tomorrow.

Luckily cupboards are pretty full, i am supposed to be going out Saturday night with my friend but not sure if i will now as feel guilty spending when we have nothing coming in next couple of weeks I haven't been out on a proper night out since beginning of August though so i might.

In good news though my itsyourview account has now reached £50 although its taken a year so i should get a nice cheque from them in November

Also i am setting myself a challenge to not put heating on until 1st November, by the time i get my next bill i am going to be £85.85p in credit and hoping to get my direct debit reduced again by having as small a bill as possible so we can save more each month

I am currently sat here cold though so dunno if i will last, only 29 days left to go :eek:

Good luck with the challenge Dawn, i'm glad its you and not me, i'm awful with the cold. My mums had the heating on for weeks because i get soooo cold. She puts it on in the morning for an hour when i get up, and then few hours in the eve, its very toasty in here.

I think you can do it Dawn, get a nice big jumper and you will be fine. xxx

Day 3 of 31 on my heating challenge, well its kinda day 33 as decided in September i wouldn't put it on for as long as possible but now its getting blimin cold its only just started really.

I now have 2 duvets on bed and going to take hot water bottle up with me tonight as i was so cold last night i couldn't get to sleep!

So yeah not sure how long i will last!

Managed my first NSD today and my Dad gave me 3 £1 coins in change from my council tax money i gave him (he goes into town to pay it as hes doesn't work as ill) and i had £15 worth in my money box from sealed pot so going to ask him to swap 4 50ps from the moneybox for 2 more so i can pay £20 into ISA next week

lilmissmup

Day 5 out of 31 on heating and its still off, i am loving having the 2 duvets on the bed but its getting colder so really don't know if i will last another 26 days! :eek:

I went out last night and spent about £35 on drinks and food and taxi home and put £5 of Petrol in OHs car and brought a bottle of coke today but hoping to have a good few NSD's next week as cupboards are stocked up though i am going orthodontist on Tuesday and need some toothbrushes and i will need a couple of magazines for lunchtime reading.

I managed to get 2 £2 coins last night so swapped them for 50ps out of pot and so £20 more in ISA this week

I also remembered to submit my platinum play claim today as it never tracked and tomorrow i need to submit paddy power too.

I must also go scan my shopping and upload barcodes tonight.

Hey lilmissmup,
good to hear your debt free now woohoo! this challenge sounds exciting when im debt free i think im also going to attempt this challenge, u may well have exceeded yours by then lol but good luck with it ill be reading looking foward to your progress! :T

lilmissmup

Just a very quick update the £3 from my greenmetropolis sale a couple of weeks ago has hit my account today so thats another £3 in ISA.

Every little helps as dear old Mr T says.

Sig updated.

yukkibear

:hello: Popping in to say Hi. Tou're doing really well

lilmissmup

Well i added £25 to ISA today, £20 in £1 coins and £5 worth of 2ps so sig updated.

I am also due to have a good few pound clear on cashbackkings tomorrow so will transfer that in ASAP.

I am happy with the total so far considering i became debt free this month too so paid extra for that! Once i hit the £200 mark thats all the money i borrowed from our sealed pot back

On day 7 now out of 31 and still no heating on :j OH is getting into the spirit of things and snuggling under a duvet whilst down here, i am not too cold

EDIT: Just done a nice ipoints survey for 225 points too, i have 7132 points in there now, can't make up mind whether to get a £30 senditvoucher which i can already claim, or get a £30 Boots Voucher at 7500 or a £30 Amazon voucher at 8000 points.
