Lunar has a house and lots of shiny new debt to get rid of!

OH did a survey last night over the phone. It was by an american drug company and they are paying him in Amaon vouchers. He was complaining about how long it took, just over an hour. They are paying him £40 in vouchers! when I think of the pennies I get for lightspeed etc I told him to stop moaning.

I have made sure he is on their list for future surveys, he was sent one by email today but given that I cant even pronounce the words in the name of the survey I think it will wait for him to get in. Hopefuly if they sent enough surveys his way it will pay for his text books this year. I managed to get one through dooyoo + lightspeed but it was £82 and that was one of the cheaper ones. He needs to get about £500 worth of books as the library only has one copy of each and are getting stroppy with him.

Off to look for your new review Hypno, I just managed to get my new one posted before DS woke up!

Managed to do a lightspeed survey this morning. I really need to finish a dooyoo review off. started yesterday but DS had different plans. I need to get some quotes for the house move next month. I have to get 3 then OH's work will reimburse for the cheapest one. I also really need to start boxing things up ready to go, I really hate packing.

So many things to do, hopefuly DS will have a good long nap soon to let me get started.

Well done on getting the SOA together. It all looks really promising, and it's fab that it's all based on basic numbers, so there's plenty of room for improvement with overtime, extra income etc. How different to the story a couple of years ago, isn't it?! Must do mine soon...

I've avoided Dooyoo for the past week or so, it's just far too time consuming. I must get back and do some rating though, or people will get majorly peed off with me. Feel free to drop me a line when you write a review though, and I'll make the effort!

Hi, and bye! Off on hols tomorrow, back mid-July.

Hope that the house move is all going to plan and that your absence from here is because you're having so much fun decorating and unpacking!!! Speak soon x

Barrys lass, did you take a look at dooyoo? how is the job hunting going, Hopefuly you have had some luck with it.

Panda, have a brilliant holiday, im sure you will.

I have just paid the balance of our new sofas which are being delivered tomorrow. I am not brave enough to post how much we spent but they were paid for by debit card so we have not added to the debt. I will also be getting cash back for them so still slightly MSE.

The decorating we wanted to do is finished now. we have had the lounge/dining room, 2 bedrooms and the den all done and the total was under £1000 inclusive of everything. This was also paid for in cash, so no increase to the debts. I have even done a dooyoo review on the den! We want to change the kitchen and bathrooms but these will wait till we are debt free and have saved up for them.

OH got a call last night from a research company for an over the phone survey. It took him 40 minutes and he will be paid £65 amazon vouchers! If he gets a few more of these then christmas will be taken care of. Thinking about it though I do have a dyson on my wish list, I bought ours for £25 on ebay 2 years ago and I dont think it can be repaired again and be cost effective.

I should really got off the computer now and start putting things in boxes again, I keep forgetting we actually have to move house next month.

Just logged onto dooyoo to find a shiny new crown today, I need £2 more to get me to the next amazon voucher. I also checked OH's mail and his £65 amazon voucher has arrived already. I have £5 from lightspeed that should arrive soon. Not sure what to do now, shal I add the extra money needed to buy the dyson to the £90 vouchers I have or shal I wait till I earn enough to buy it outright. It would be really handy to have the dyson before we move.
