I've been waiting so long for the last lot of Amazon vouchers from Toluna that I'm already up to 70,000 points for the *next* one. Ho hum. Slow and steady

I'm still waiting for my last one, and have now got 69,105.....race you to 80.000 :rotfl:

A couple of surveys paid out on T0luna, so I now have around 76,000 points. I'm hoping I get to 80,000 this week - I still have a voucher on order and it would be good if they both came at the same time!

I received another competition win yesterday - a DVD of Nowhere Boy. I think it's going to go for sale on Amazon along with a few other DVDs I have won. Having extra money is more important than having DVDs to watch at the moment. I'm still wildly aiming for my birthday in December as my DFD and need to put some more effort into it as I have become very lazy over the last couple of months.

I'm meant to be in work for 8.30 today so I can leave early (Half day, woo!) but forgot to put the hot water on. Just waiting for it to heat up now!

Papa Fresian is coming down today for a quick visit as he has a hospital appointment in Glasgow tomorrow. I should probably be cleaning the bathroom instead of posting on here....

Have a good half day, well done on the win - like you say that DFD date is sooooooooo close.

I was in the training centre office yesterday and one of the students has a fab pink folder with cowsn and cow in big letters on it - I thought of you and nearly said something out loud but just stopped myself in time :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Not a bad couple of days Chez Fresian - I redeemed at T0luna for a £15 Amazon voucher, so that will turn up sometime around Christmas and be a happy surprise. My balance with them is now back to 20 points, so I will have to spend some time on there this weekend doing 80 word opinions and all that fun stuff to try and increase my balance somehow!

I received £29.20 in my account this morning for recycling my phone (Woo!) so that has gone into the ISA/Loan Repayment Pot. I should receive this month's rent early next week, so that should bring me sub-2k

I had a call from the local radio station yesterday, I have won tickets to the Edinburgh Antiques & Collectors fair in August and £100 to spend while I'm there I seem to be having quite a good run of luck at the moment, so I'm going to be grateful for it but not take it for granted if that makes sense.

Right, I have my morning comps to enter so I had better run. Happy Friday all!

Happy Friday to you too

Today seems to be running backwards at work

Only spend so far today has been more hairdye, although I have also booked another appointment for a haircut on Monday. I have a job interview on Wednesday and need to look my best!!

Best get back to the grindstone...

MSE news of the day.....

Rent money in, woo!
Paid £100 off credit card, meaning there is less than £100 to go
Paid lump sum into my loan today of £2,000. It doesn't reduce the term/interest/payment, but it means I can't spend it

Updated figures are therefore:

Loan outstanding £3,289.07
Savings £1,269.69

Total outstanding debt £2019.38

I would have had to get rid of that £19.38 somehow:rotfl:
