    Nope not yet, he was on the wrong tax code though so need to prob claim it back from tax man. Fingers crossed it might resolve itself though.

    Yep its Day 31 out of 31!!! :j

    I could see my breathe last night though whih was worrying. I am out tonight and at work all day so its just poor OH that has to suffer tonight but hes promised me he won't turn it on.

    My house is quite small anyway so warms up quickly so only need it on for an hour or 2 anyway.

    I may have failed the NSD challenge this month but i have acheived the freezing my butt off challenge :rotfl:

    On money note added £18 to ISA yesterday in £2 coins, would have been £20 but they said one was a fake, it did look dodgy but my dad spent it later that day for me lol.

    I turned the heating on for 20 mins and OH moaned :p

    But it wasn't on yesterday so i did achieve it. I am not feeling well today, went out last night and did a lot of walking in the cold in a silly halloween outfit and now have a cold :o probably also brought on by a freezing house :o

    I have to go volunteer in a bit though at Cats Protection League Charity shop but only for 2.5 hrs today, i wanna curl up in bed.

    To make this money related extrabet didn't pay up again this month, i have a grand payment coming from quidco of £2.03p woot :cool:

    Did you get your Amazon voucher hun? I didn't get mine :(, something about some of the reviews not being upto the sites standards or something stupid like that. I had written over 150 words, i feel they were descriptive etc, maybe a few when i first started wasn't but the others definitely were!! Unfair and i've sent them a ranting e-mail!!

    I haven't updated for a while as not a lot to update on really.

    I finally got my £10 back from takeabreak today, took well over a week! But its back now and i am up to £5.10 on the scratchcard with £7ish on my other 3 scratchcards so will have another £40 ish to go in the ISA soon.

    My pet insurance i took out for Izzy has paid up via Quidco so will defo be getting £25 from Quidco at least next month and i have about £50 to claim from cashbackkings by end of the month too, looking forward to that all going in the ISA :)

    I am just waiting for HSBC to decrease my ISA rate again though, will see what happens as might have to transfer it.

    I am still plugging along on dooyoo, i have brought my 2 year old nieces christmas pressies and my 5yr old nephews birthday present with vouchers, still a load to get for though.

    But best news today moneywise is the freezing my butt off has paid off for this quarter! I got my request to give my meter readings today and did, my electric and gas bill was £85.58 and i was £85.85 in credit so i still have 27p in credit :T Not a lot but better than nowt.
