Tax Credits are awful with overpaying - I don't know how they do it, you tell them how much you earn, they calculate and pay you. I now feel blessed that we are going to get money in August - sorry to hear you have year of nothing xx

We didn't get tax credits last year, so kind of got used to not having them and we would only recieve the minimum anyway think its about £10 a week,probably make more than that on surveys:rotfl:, it all got scr£w£d up cos hubby was self employed and then went employed total c*ck up but they wouldn't listen when i tried to change things, to be honest i really hate them and i'm sure a 5 year old good come up with a better idea.

Have managed to list 7 things on ebay, one item already has a bid:D, have 2 or 3 more things to put on.

Have organised childrens friends to come over and pay tmorrow as its last day of holidays, so that will keep them entertained and i won't have to spend any money:).

Good morning, looks like another wet day:(, so looks like clothes are going in the tumble:mad:, which reminds me i need to do meter readings.

Managed to get a total of 13 items listed on ebay and already have a couple of bids, not going to make loads as its all low value stuff but anything will help.

Checked banking and £10.15 had hit from paypal so have sent that to the !!!!!! card, all the little payments are adding up but don't think i'm going to get under £6000 this month.

Have done a couple of surveys this morning, none are near payout at the minute so think it will be a quiet month for recieving extra money:(.

Today i need to make a quiche and some cakes, make sure kids have done any homework, read books etc and have a general tidy around.

Oh and its 6 weeks and 4 days until the summer hols:D.

Hi Pennywise

I'm impressed with your shoe bargains, Ne*t prices are ridiculous for some things and I begrudge paying them now whereas before I'd have just paid it.

My surveys are slow as well, Tolun* screened me out of loads over the weekend.

The weather is fine here at the moment but looks as though it could rain at some point.

I can't believe its less than 7 weeks until the summer holidays, this year is flying past.

Enjoy your last day off work xx

Thanks choogirl, i've actually gone off Next stuff, think they are quite poor quality really, tend to go to M&S for nicer lasting things and fashion stuff that i know i won't wear for more than a summer/ winter i wait for the sales in Tesco/sainsburys/newlook.

Just had a delivery man knock at the door, been sent a huge box of washing powder to test:D, think i have enough washing powder to see me through the next 6 months and an added bonus is the box it came in is big enough for something i'm selling on ebay and i was wondering how i was going to pack it up to post:rotfl:.

Well done - you are doing brilliantly on the surveys. I have got very lazy with mine, I think I need to pull the old finger out.
