Morning!
OH let me have a bit of a lie in this morning so life is gooooooooood! Not planning much as weather is poop
. On a positive though - only 2 weeks till payday!
Withdrew £3 into my paypal from Lightspeed last night. Need to get cracking again with Toluna - I'm about halfway to another voucher but was aiming for 2 vouchers this month (we will see
)
Gas and Leccy switching on Monday - hopefully a refund due from Mr Scottish Power (I have no idea as I havn't seen a gas bill in a year, shows how MSE I was pre- LBM eh!)
Forgot to mention that Vanquis sent me an invitation for one of their delightful CC's yesterday. Only 39.9% interest (!!!!!!!) "Get em while they're hot!"
Cancelled my Virgin card about a month or 2 ago - but this morning Mr Postman brought me a letter from them offering me a 6.9% LOB offer on it. I'm assuming my card is still cancelled (says so when I log in to online bank) and it was just an oversight on their part.
Off to clock in my meter readings for E:ON!0 -

No No Ms Woo - no more for you! :rotfl:
I'm going to have to take money out of the grocery budget and go to the cash & carry for Washing powder and softener. I like to buy in bulk as you save mega in the long run - but it will make a good £20 - £30 dent in the funds. Hopefully it will last a good 3-4 months though
8 items ending on ebay tonight :T - 3 without bids.

No never again BR, I think those disgusting rates should be banned as well!
