I have plans for hols next year paid for by Tesco clubcard vouchers. My £23 of vouchers will make £100 of holiday ones- every little helps and could be something you coud take advantage of as they do nice breaks for weekends and family hols to Butlins and whatnot.

I think im going to keep going with this multitude of cashback sites i have joined up to,and let the ones that are a bit more pants go when hey get bad at tracking.As of the munute they are all on trial.
This is my fourth day and it is very tiring,but i think thats because im going at it hell for leather to get them all started.
I had forgotten i had signed up to topcashback ,so ive just done a couple of daily clicks with them to see if they track.
Did a stew yesterday for tea today,so minimum work there today.
Still in me ddressing gown though .Thats how addicted i am to this cause.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I have finally cracked the bread malarky and found out i wasnt leaving the bread dough to rise long enough.Now Ive found the optimum time ,the bread is ten times better than shop bought.
I have loads of ironing to put away today.And i really should clean the babies room,but just dont feel like it when i know she will systematically pull the lot back out to cover the carpet again.ggrrrr!!!!At least when i clean it i know its clutter not dirt.
Its her birthday in a couple of weeks and as she is the youngest i feel like she has one of everything already.She will be 3,my budget is around £30.ANY IDEAS?
Same with Christmas ,i know what im getting the other two,but im stuck on the baby ,as toys we have aplenty.

My little boy is 3 in a couple of weeks, I am lucky as he loves cars, trains and the shops have endless supplies of them. I budgeted slightly more, but it was all paid for by cashback sites, eBay etc. Same with christmas. Is it toys that you are looking for, have you tried eBay.

lauhen

Kids always seem to want toys don't they, my kids rooms and the playroom are full of toys, so this year I am not buying them so many things, just bigger things, I am fed up of treading on toys ahhhhhhhhhh. I am so tired today, just worked shift at hospital and it was draining, I am not a nurse but a hca, looking forward to bedtime. If I think of anything present wise then I will let you know.

My update for my first Saturday with MSE is

I am irritated that most cashback sites make it look as though you would get cashback from doing grocery shopping with asda and tesco online.But as it goes,only first time and only if your a brand new customer.I realise if i was buying books or cds or stuff i would get the cashback.Never mind.
The other thing is I really like doing my food shop on line now.I can crop my list down and budget better ,whilst still getting what i need.
But OH is complaining that delivery is over £5.00.And even though I found a voucher code that showed up on asda ,it said I couldnt apply it to my shopping ,even though the criteria was over £50,date of expiry 31st dec09.Meeting those I am annoyed they wont apply it.
If I cant find any vouchers for general grocery in asda or tesco or free delivery evouchers ill have to go back to shopping manually as its just not cheaper.I didnt mind last week as it was £2.50 and its around £2 in petrol ,there and back.But £5 and shopping at a more expensive store than Netto just isnt worth it.

The other part of my day is finding I have had not one invite for a survey.And my dailyclicks on topcashback were not showing through.
The good part is cashback xtreme's daily clicks come through instantly,but their easymoney survey ones have not tracked.

Dooyoo seems the best for getting somewhere.

Onepoll not bad but slowgoing.I need something a bit like dooyoo that as long as i am willing to be on my pc I can continually earn points or pennies,without buying.

Il get there ,but I cant help feeling that theres something im missing that is making this slower than it could be,like my lack of knowledge on dailyclicks and marketing.

Anyway ,look forward to reading your replies,evening all xx:T:T:T

Take a look at http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/content/saving-money/save-money-with-mysupermarket.aspx - you can get ipoints with your shopping.

They may help.

Daily clicks take 2 to 3 days to show, maybe more over weekends, and I find that you rarely get surveys on weekends, but in the week you should get a few. Have you shopped through mysupermarket.com, you can compare between asda, tesco, ocado and sainsburys. It shows you all the offers, I have done it for past 4 months and surprisingly sainsburys has been the cheapest, about £10-£15 less than asda, £20 less than tesco and £50+ less than ocado. It is a good site even to just compare.

Well ive been reading up on here ,and seeing as i have never had a problem with gambling and see it as a complete waste of money ,i think it is safe for me to try.So i have taken £10 of my overdraft and deposited it with TAB.I won 10p on my free scratch and paid 20p on 2 games of bingo,as i bought two cards not knowing what i was doing.I do now though,phew.
So hopefully if i have the info right ,what i do now is,play my free scratchy and use the bonus wins to play real bingo and real money.Once my balance is over 10.10 I can get my original deposit back.Do i have that right?

Also I used the voucher codes for tesco off here and ordered next weeks shopping ,getting £20 off in vouchers.Il update you as to whether they go through ok.

Ive done about 5p in daily clicks ,il do them in a minute ,and my Dooyoo acct is just over 5000 so whoopie thats with 7 reviews i think it is.


We had the rest of the stew i made yesterday for dinner today ,so a pack of £3 braising beef did two days.With the mince doing 3 meals last week,my freezer has not been attacked as it usually is.

I feel like i havent stopped today,yet physically i been very lazy ,lol.I DID THE DISHES,HAHA!!!!

Oh il do some ironing so i dont have to live with the guilt,and i did put a wash load on ,lol.

So what have you lot been upto this weeekend?I know you been working poor lauhen:A

Countdown to school,Thursday.What a stupid day to go back.My middle ones full time then,i know il still clock watch at lunch to pick her up when i wont need to anymore.

Only a small reprieve as youngest goes half day after Christmas.WHOOP WHOOP a whole 3 hrs a day with no kids.Oh well they always leave me with enough mess so i dont miss them,lol.

Hi there, I am back from work, finished at 3 and now I'm making tea, my feet ache. You will get there with everything, it just takes time, you will work out what sites to give up on and what are worth doing, I couldn't keep up with daily clicks, I found them very draining, I do enjoy the survey sites though.

Ddraig

I did hca for an agency between no2 and no3.I didnt mind it but there is good days and bad days and its physically and mentally draining.

Im in a more positive attitude now,as its just a matter of finding deals etc .

Makes me realise just how important the contact at MSE is .

AND it looks like hubby is quite interested afterall,he just couldnt work out how and why we found free stuff and money.
