DFWette - Bills, Thrills and Belly Aches

I don't know how you manage to drag yourself to the gym, well done though! Only managed to get on the dreadmill once this week, gonna try and get on it this afternoon. I just get so bored!

It's a shame I can't sew, the pattern looks so cute!!

Need to be very good for the next couple days as OH is wanting a takeaway Saturday night (can't complain, he's buying!) He's not coming over until the evening so I figure I can practially kill myself on the dreadmill in the morning to kind of even it out.

I offically love OHs Grandma! She's offered to pay the insurance extra to insure the new car when he gets it (about £200!) Still no news on the congestion charge fine either. Things are looking up!


ETA: Just checked my Toluna account and I've got almost 13,000 points. Only started this week! Hoping to get to 60,000 before November, then I can get one of the 'love2shop' vouchers and either cheekily give it to someone for Christmas or treat myself to some clothes with it at the end of the 100day challenge.

What's Toluna, a poll thing? How nice of OH's grandma! You'll have to bake her something nice as a thank you from you both. Re. the congestion fine, they're usually pretty quick to send stuff like that out to you so I wouldn't worry, it's been nearly two weeks now hasn't it?

Cinny91

Yep, two weeks tomorrow! When we got the fine at work it was through within the week so I think I'll just slowly let myself forget about it now.

Yep, it's polls mixed with little voting things that you get 15points each for. Payout is 60,000 points and you can choose from all different vouchers - love2shop, amazon, halfords ect. Much prefering it to DooYoo for vouchers! Mainly cause I was rubbish at reviews

See, I don't mind dooyoo really, I've tried a few survey sites before and they bored me really quickly. Once I'm in the review 'zone' I can rattle them off fairly quick. Got a huge list of things to write about, just need to get back on it (you're not rubbish!)

Cinny91

I could do with getting back into it really, the £50 cheque wouldn't go a miss!

Been talking to OH about holidays, I drifted off and started looking at Florida holidays again, kind of put that idea out of my head as I don't think me and OH could save up for it on our wages. Still, going to have a mess around this afternoon, fix dates for next year and see how much it would cost. A girl can dream! :rolleyes:

Things are looking good for either Switzerland or Austria.. oo, or maybe Italy!

I seem to be building up my points quickly with toluna, but they take sooo long to send vouchers. I asked for an amazon voucher that they only need to e-mail and have been waiting over a month, happened last time as well!

I haven't wrote a review this week and now have been invited to a work party tonight so won't do one tonight either. Looks like a busy weekend!

Cinny91

That's a pain Wendz! Looks like I might using my love2shop voucher in next years summer sale. I like how quickly they build up too, admittedly most of mine this week have been from doing the interest polls so it'll slow way down next week.

Didn't spend any money today either, nothing really interesting in the sale so thinking I'll either keep it in my current account to roll over into next week or pay some more of the credit card off.. hmm!

Hi!

It's payday! Bought my sisters present which came too £21.95 with P&P, paid £59 off my credit card (not sure why £59 :rolleyes:)
Going into town afterwork to get my board out + £10 spends for this week, should leave me with just over £50 in my CA to roll over to next weeks wages, or pay off the CC with.

Quite a lot of work today so I best get moving, have a nice day everyone!

Or maybe £30 Just bought my brother his birthday present (PS3 game) and my sister the rest of her Christmas present. Came to £28.95 with postage but found a £10 off code so I'm classing my sisters second Christmas present as being £2 :T

£10 off code?! :money::money:Where did you get that? What's it for? I normally can only find 5% and the like!
