Good news!

In MSE news, I have transferred the £97 leftover from Scottish Power - £40 to my credit card and the rest into the Loan Pot. I now have over £3000 waiting to repay my loan - the outstanding balance is around £5400 The amount outstanding on my credit card is now around £250 (I have expenses to be paid so can't be exact with a figure) but I'm going to put the excess from the groceries account towards that too which should keep it nice and low.

T0luna decided to email me 11 surveys yesterday :eek: which should be good for around 10,000 points. I was pleased to see that 8,000 of those had been added to my account this morning, so I have less than 14,000 to go before I can redeem for another Amazon voucher. :j

Right, work calls. I'm in Glasgow in the morning, then back here this afternoon and working till seven. Eek...!

I gave up with Toluna - i kept getting screened out - only managed to finish 1 survey. :mad:

Did Lspeed but so did dh and their new fraud system decided we were cheating and blocked us. They owed us money but wont pay it due to "fraud". Not bothering again. Will find another way to make some money

Enjoy the overtime while its there - you will soon have that loan gone!

Toluna takes ages to pay out. I have been doing well recently (On course for my third Amazon voucher this year) because I have been creating opinions as well as surveys which really helps your points. Writing 80 word opinions on other peoples pages helps too. I need to do some of that this weekend actually, someone remind me!! Sometimes I leave it for weeks though because I'm just not in the mood. I don't do any moneymaking scheme if I think it's a chore

Well done on your win f_f, makes all these comps worthwhile!
Just wondering, how are you getting on with your diet with the Nutracheck? I REALLY NEED to do something now - I am uncomfortable and I do NOT like it! Thinking about joining the Weightwatchers Online through Quidco, but just wondered how you are getting on with the Nutracheck and what's your opinion on that one?

Oh I definitely want some Easy Tone trainers now. I'm walking back home from new workplace every day (1.6m, takes just short of half an hour) and I could really do with something comfy to walk in. I'm doing it in Uggs at the moment.

Quick Money Post

Day before payday, and the accounts are cleared out

I have £5 in my purse for today, and the debt/savings balance is thus:


Loan £5,417.40
Savings £3,056.64

Debt outstanding is therefore £2,360.76

It doesn't look too bad, except that this week is going to be very expensive....

Birthday lunch for someone at work
Leaving do for someone in my team (TGI Fridays dinner)
Leaving present contribution for same person
Father's Day is coming up too...

I think I'm going to have to opt out of something, I'm just not sure what yet. I feel bad as I want to pay for all things and go to all lunches, I just really can't afford it *sob*

I have another job interview lined up for next week as well :j
