  • Hi everyone, hope all's ok.

    I'm back off my jollies now and back to work, under protest...!

    Anyway, here's my ever so mini update- £11.41 stashed and $11! :D I would like to try and save £1000 by Christmas, not for presents before you all think I'm mental lol. But it is a realistic aim for me so hopefully I'll manage it.
    The next few mths will be slower though as were decorating our living room cos it's trashed :(

    Will read up on the thread later on after my weigh-in,first one since the hols... Wish me luck! (dreading it!)

  • .....Had too much money sitting confirmed in cashback websites after a spate of confirmations so I just had to redeem it :o. I now have another £61.29 winging its way to my bank account.

    So:

    £61.29 Cashback websites
    £105.86 Previous total

    New Total = £167.15 :T:T

    Target Achieved :T:T

    Quidco have now given me another £2.08 so that's a total of £119.18 received from cashback websites this month :T:T

    Still have another £56ish confirmed which I can't cash out due to cashout limits and £237ish pending :eek:. I don't count this though until it's in my bank account as experience shows they don't always pay out :mad:. If it all becomes payable then I would have earnt £567.66 from cashback websites since March :T:T.

    Sorry I digress.........

    New Total for September now £167.23 as I included one site yesterday which I didn't cash out from.
    Life is knowing which bridges to burn and which bridges to build! :think:

    unrelated post but I did say I'd keep people updated.... Have my 28k+ checkup with the midwives today and bubs is doing great, all fine and progressing well :)
    MSE-wise, I've (gulp) booked a home birth today, does that count on the grounds that we'll save petrol etc on going to the hospital? :p

    - but you would have to offset that saving against all the electricity used in boiling water LOL - Pleased that check up went well - good luck with the rest of your pregnancy & the birth x

    £10 referral bonus received from the place DS goes for 11+ tuition. Nice surprise - I just recommended it because it's a good organisation.. :)
