    A few years of hard graft for the rest of my life to enjoy - thats how I see it. Of course the thousands of pounds saved in interest is an added bonus!

    Right I have a long list of things to do today. If I put them on here there is no hiding away from it (although it might take me a week to finish them all!)

    [STRIKE]* Clean out Gpig cage[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]* take kids to tennis court for reward[/STRIKE] done and now shattered lol
    [STRIKE]* Clean kitchen[/strike]
    [STRIKE]* Clean bathroom[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]* Do 18 ebay items (from over wkd) and post[/STRIKE] and an extra 3
    * Change toilet seat (been meaning to do it for weeks!)
    * Sew DDs new top straps so it fits her
    [STRIKE]* Sew DSs cubs badges (also been on side for 2 weeks :o)[/strike]
    * Cut grass and attack the jungle (not neccessarily today but needs to be on the list) - did some of it and cut back a huge bush thas has filled my brown bin
    * weed and sort out (cut back and dehead) front garden plants
    [STRIKE]* Sort out clean washing piles that have accumilated in my room[/STRIKE]
    * Iron clothes for week
    [STRIKE]* change beds[/STRIKE]

    That will do for now I think although I am sure I have missed something off and I will prob only get a qtr done today

    I am not getting very far with the above list :(

    Right I have OPd another £100 due to ebay doing really well. I could have done more but I am keeping some back to get kids some new clothes and also spending money for our weekend away.
    I checked my tesco CC points and had £99 in deals still so have ordered some vouchers for a museum for one afternoon for all of us and also vouchers for our local theme park (its only little but the kids love it) so will do that one day when I am off.

    Got £5 from BP this week too :) This is the only thing I am keeping up with at the moment.

  • You are still doing ok pammy. I got £5 today too. Just wanted to ask if you spotted the 500pt survey? I only spotted it yesterday, but thought you might not have noticed it.

    I noticed that sports direct have an amazon checkout now so hoping I can use my vouchers to get some kids stuff for school that way

    How bizarre? Mine wasn't. I'd get onto them straight away about that.

    These vouchers all help don't they?

    Pammy, on someone else's diary thread you were asking about good survey companies, I did reply but wasn't sure if you'd have seen it. Do you do Pinecone Surveys? They are the only company I bother with anymore, only get about 1 a month on average but they pay £3 each time in Paypal ac or luncheon vouchers. Here's the signup link https://www.pineconeresearch.co.uk/Signup/Signup_Form.aspx

    Just ignore it if you already do them, and I promise I don't work for them or anything! x

    Oh that's a shame, maybe give it another go applying. I have been doing their surveys for years now, at times haven't had any for months then get a few together.

    You've just given me the idea of looking for tourist attractions payable with Tesco deals near where we are staying later this month so thanks for that :)
