    A little day for me today

    1. one load of washibng on low temp. Now on line cos its blowy here
    2. Buy a book of stamps
    3. Look out my credit report from Experian and identify where redundant accounts are that can be closed (hence the book of stamps), rather than just sitting around.
    4. Go and get a list of all DDs and SO's from the bank that come out of my account, so I can double check tomorrow which ones are not needed any mor or can be replaced with something cheaper

    Hello Everyone

    Welcome to all the new people! Today I have/will:

    * Clicks
    * Banking
    * Make a payment to my CC

    Not much today as I am really sore again and I have failed miserably in my DFW journey by buying lots of tasty thing from the bakers after the doctors. I could almost hear you all shouting don't do it but I put my fingers in my ears and bought a huge cake and a sandwich (they were lovely!) Tomorrow will be a better day!

    Piquant/OliveOyl - thanks for asking feeling a lot better this week, last week went by in a blur of woolly headedness but getting back to normality now.

    Saddle will soon be paid for Piq at the rate you are going:j
    OliveOyl - hope you enjoyed your time with popeye:D

    • tea from food already in the house
    • check petrolprices for cheapest fuel on the way home
    • no surveys today :confused:
    • finally managed the last CT on pigsback to achieve another voucher (might cancel my pigsback account now - takes far to long to make the totals now)
    • do daily clicks
    • apart from fuel, a NSD I hope
    • finish a wedding card that a colleague has ordered
    • try and sort some stuff for ebay
    • enter some comps (still waiting for a big win)
    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Pigsback has gone rubbish lately, as soon as i get next voucher I am closing too.OH's account is 10points from a piggy bank will close his when he gets that - will take too long to get anything else:rolleyes:

    Bought cat food at the self-service in Tesco using 1 and 2 pences (needs must!)
    Tried to chase up my £24.00 worth of expenses but apparently Finance don't work the last week of the month so won't get it until Monday at the earliest (so looks like I'm walking home tomorrow and Friday);
    Chased up those long awaited 2,500 piggy points from Petplan in June;
    Typed a letter to Natwest requesting my bank charges back;
    Amended my original complaint to the Financial Ombudsman to include Sainsburys PPI cover.

    Hmmmm new idea for getting use from small coins -had never thought of that -:doh: now where are there self service tills or vending machines that I could make use of to use some of my stash of small change;)

  • Good evening. A bit of a late one for me today.

    I have:

    * had breakfast at home and took dinner into work
    * checked all banks, all fine
    * rounded up my savings account with £6.35 after my interest was added... hate having those odd pennies laying around :)
    * checked Quidco, £4.80 should be due soon
    * written a letter to the Inland Revenue. I'm still on emergency tax after five months of my new job and I want my pennies back
    * charged laptop at work
    * looked on the doormat for my cheque coming through from globaltestmarket, still not here
    * had storecupboard tea
    * done surveys
    * and seeing as I'm currently in my pyjamas, I'm guessing it's going to be a NSD... if I need chocolate, my dear other half can fetch it and pay for it for me :D

    I've had a grumpy couple of days with the miserable weather and one thing or another, so I'm going to have an early night so I can be back to my jolly little self tomorrow.

    Hope everyone had a nice day and hope you have a good evening :)
