  • I say take the money - you have earned it and it would be embarrassing for him if you didn't accept.

    i found a cheque in my purse from American consumer panel for £3, got one at Christmas for £2, so £5 to add there.

    cashed in my global testmarket and got a cheque for £52.74.

    so £57.74 to add today.

    Total so far is £83.88 (must add this to my signature)
    Summer Sizzler Challenge 2009 bronze level = £387.25 (23/06/2009)

    He obviously really appreciates what you did and wants you to have the money so you should take it. You can always do something nice for him in return so you don't feel so bad.

    So far today I have made 80p on the scratchies and £11 to be banked tomorrow from coin sorter (OH likes playing with it and always puts his change in it :) )
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155
  • Update for this week

    Interest £0.42
    Child benefit increase £3.15
    free bingo £43.17
    share div £16.21 (share were free from profit share so can count)
    scratchcard £10
    budget savings £336.36 **
    old acc balance £146.11 (this is account I paid free money into before - surveys, quidco etc -now going into ISA)


    The budget saving are some gift cards used for budgeted spends- kids clothes- but also £300 back from a share save we cancelled because of the share price - do you think it is fair to count this as it came from wages -but was budgetted? will take it out if not fair
