    Also did a HI-epanel survey which took me to 100points so was able to withdraw a £16 amazon voucher:j, first one from them, not sure how long it will take to arrive in my inbox.

    Hi Penny

    Short term lurker here!

    Make sure you check your junk mail box. I requested a voucher from Hi-epanel which I wanted for Father's Day. It did not arrive so I emailed them and they forwarded me a copy - the copy promptly went into my junk email box so I guess the original did.

    Luckily I managed to get the bits for Father's Day and they arrived on the Friday.

  • Thankyou, hope it hasn't gone in my junk mail as i deleted the lot this morning:eek:. will give them a few days if not got it will email them.

  • :jWOOO HOOOOO its pay day, been paid more than i expected:D, total income for me for month without ebay, surveys etc is £724.64p, which is good, i am comfortable and where i need to be.
    Ebay bids are £7.68 and a few watchers.
    Made 10p so far today on onepoll, virgin bingo not available at moment as its under maintanace so can't do scratchie.

    This morning i have work, then need to do a big shop, lots of store cupboard bits needed, flour, oil,toms etc, if i get all that today then i only need to get fresh stuff as and when i need it.

    Various things to pay today- Barclaycard, tesco finance and santander, also need to put petrol in car, pick up contact lenses from opticians. I think today is going to be an expensive one.

  • Well went to work this morning and the night out that was planned has been cancelled as a couple of people have pulled out, bit disapointed but at least i hadn't bought the dress i wanted yet.

    On the money front i have spent a fortune today, £83 to barclaycard and £96 in Tesco but at least the cupboards are full, need to go to aldi for a couple of bits that are cheaper there, but these can wait till next week when i need more fruit and veg.

    Recieved a rimmel nail polish in the post today, have put it with a couple of bits of makeup that already have, going to get dd a nice makeup case and lots of bits of cheap makeup as part of christmas present, she is only 7 but she likes to paint her nails and wear lipstick if shes going to a party, bless.

    Also withdrawn £5 into paypal from lightspeed, another 10p added to account from onepoll and 10p from free scratchies, its all slowly adding up, Bids on eBay £14.99:D.

    Also recieved a offer of £10 off a £20 spend at next, so have used it and bought couple of t shirts for me, school socks for booth children and sun hats for both came to £12, i promise to pay this off as soon as i get the statement.
  • Hello, been a pants day here had rain for most of it.

    Today i've been at work all day so just got in, have spent £10 on top up for phone and £25 for pony club + £1 because she had done a badge.
    Recieved some luggage tags that i had sent for in the post, really nice and have pictures of my kids on holiday last year on them:D.
    Next things arrived as did my next statement which was £0 so won't get charged until next month for things i ordered, they have also reduced the apr on the account to 25.99% how jolly kind of them;).

    Although i had an inbox of surveys, only qualified for one from mysurvey which gave me the huge sum of 10 points, also 10p on free scratchie this morning.

    Another full day at work tommorrow and then the weekend:j and gosh do i need it, if anyone broke into my house at the moment they would walk straight back out, thinking someone had beaten them too it, its a pig sty.

    Hope everyones had a good day.

    DS is at football this morning- £2
    DD is helping at an open day where she goes riding, so will drop her off later with a packed lunch and she will be a happy little girl for the day.

    Also need to collect a parcel from post office and put petrol in the car.
