    Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

    yeah money saving is addictive, almost as addictive as this site lol

    not doing to bad with my list so far today: made a good start on the painting, walked the dogs and not spent any money! :j

    La Escocesa im also not expecting much equity, would be lucky to scrape £5000. grrr. I bought in 2007, just before the crash wahhh!

    :mad:
    Moved into dream house - 17/08/12 :D

  • Afternoon all

    Little bit of cheating here as posting later in the day so can cross things off as soon as I write them :)
    1. Daily clicks - done
    2. One Poll - done
    3. Mystery Shopping - checked but only one available 130 miles away, think they have got that wrong. Does not feel very MSE to travel 260 miles to earn £5!!!
    4. Rec'd cheque from Pet Insurers so must pay that in
    5. Walk the dogs (currently snoring away after having lunch!)
    6. Cook tea and prepare for tomorrow
    7. Check Toluna see if survey points added, close to a £15 voucher at the moment
    8. Attack the ironing again tonight whilst watching TV. House rule is whoever is ironing has control of the remote.
    Have a great day everybody

    CB :)
