HI guys, well i'm so glad its Friday feel exhausted, think its cos i've been ill this week, turn down some overtime for this afternoon, just couldn't face it, naught i know but just needed to come home and relax.

Came home to PO and halifax CC bills so will adjust sig, she magazine subscription for this month arrived and had another ariel stain remover freebie with it, they are really pushing that at the moment 2nd one in as many days.

Going to pay all bills on Tuesday when child ben hits account,

HI i'm with quite a few- lightspeed, onepoll, yougov, globaltestmarket, global opinions, ipsos, valued opinions, pinecone, maximiles, crowdology, justtheanswer, mysurveys, reward opinions, panelbase, itsyourview, toluna, epanel. wow i think thats all of them, some i get surveys from quite often other every couple of months.

So far this morning i have recieved £3 into paypal that i had ordered the other day , so have £10 in paypal at the minute, going to try and leave it there until i have a lump more as £10 will just get frittered away.
Have a sainsburys order coming later this afternoon, used £10 off voucher, have still managed to spend around £70 though, which will now take me over my grocery spend, but there was a couple of christmas presents in there, so i suppose they really need to come off the total as they are not groceries, can see me using my nectar point on groceries this month.

pennywisepoundstupid

Well sainsburys have just been and it comes to £68.82, so grocery spend this month comes to £153.46:rotfl:, sorry if i don't laugh i will cry, 3 weeks until payday food cupboards are full so is freezer, only have to buy fresh fruit/veg, looks like i might be using my nectar points for them, oh well i like a challenge.

Why do we have to eat?? Debts would be so much littler if we didn't!

Thanks for the survey site list hun - have added a few more to my own list x

Have a nice relaxing night tonight - think I will x

pennywisepoundstupid

Well so far to day i've managed to make 2 lasagne, 1 for tonight 1 for freezer, biscuits, bread, garlic bread and i'm on with an apple pie.

Decided after xmas i'm saving for a new bathroom, can't stand it any longer, its old, falling to pieces and i hate it:(. just want a nice clean white suite, nothing flash, just tidy and sparkly , plain white tiles, hubby can do the tiling, we have the flooring already bought it last summer as it was in the sale and was a bargain price and as our bathroom is tiny only cost us £25, this is currently being stored under my bed:mad:, Hubby reckons we could do the bathroom for around £500 as he can do most of the work, new challenge for the new year me thinks.

I'd love a new bathroom (well the suite is newish, but would love it to be re-tiled!) However, need to get my debts to a manageable level first, cos we definitely couldn't do it ourselves. Dh would have a go but would take him about 4 months before he gave up and got someone in!! ;-)

Hi guys, well its been a long day at work with an especially challenging child:eek:, but i have come through it and i'm ready to fight another day.

Managed to list 12 things on ebay yesterday, but to be honest the likelyhood of them selling is slim, but you never know.

DD is being a prize pain in the butt but thats nothing new, came home with lunchbag everything eaten except sandwiches, annonced she does not like chicken in sandwiches, was ok last night in a roast, is ok tonight in a curry, but not in sandwiches, well i've got news for you little lady, you either bl**dy well eat them or you starve:mad:.

Today i've managed to spend - £10 petrol, £4 book and £1.30 for a sandwich as i didn't make lunch, but did take some fruit. Also wrote a cheque for £11.50 for milkman.

I've got parents evening tommorrow, should be ok for DS, but DD is another matter.

pennywisepoundstupid

Well parents evening went ok, DS fantastic really doing well in all areas etc etc:D, DD bright and could do better, basically is not really listening in class, talking over teacher and is not fullfilling her true potential:(, will try and have a chat with her, but kind of think she is a bit like me and if she doesn't find something interesting then she switches off, where as DS wants to be the best at everything and win everthing and get the best grades, he is really competitive, he ho we are all different and it would be a boring world if we were all the same.

CB paid into account today and is just about gone on bills:(, have a couple of bids on ebay so i might make a tenner yet:), anything is better than nothing at the moment.

Feeling cold and tired tonight, already in jammies and dressing gown,
need to make flapjack but havn't got the energy,have put bread maker on so at least the kids will get there sandwiches tommorrow for school:).

hope eveyones ok.
