Study confronted :j. Brought it all downstairs and sorted it out while watching the X Factor (go Johnny go ). A lot sorted out, also got £18 from Peefer the Pig for the btl mortgage, and just sold something on ebay for £8.50 (free mag sub gift :j).

Did 3 online surveys for Beefeater, 3 vouchers for bottles of wine so that's the next 3 weekends sorted .

£6 off £30 spend at Sainsbugs to be used by next week, so need to get on mysupermarket. Hopefully will also get £5 off £40 from Asda Price Guarantee - not sure though as I bougtht non-grocery items so will try tomorrow.

Watching Man U v City on MOTD - life is good :T :rotfl::T

They keep changing their login process and I've managed to get locked out - just at the time of the month I need to check rent has come in etc, AND MAKE OVERPAYMENTS :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: Of course you can't just phone up to get locked out, oh no, you have to reregister and wait for a snail mail letter :mad::mad::mad::mad:. At least I can check ins/outs with a ministatement, but I was going to pay over £400 off btl this morning. By the time I get back online I'll have that to pay, plus a little paypal money, regular monthly OP and maybe even 3k plus from savings plan . I don't want to do it all at once, as I like to see how many months each OP knocks off , so will do each transaction individually.

That is truly awful, more awful than locking yourself out of your account (in my world where tea rules)

Nightmare! I always panic I will misplace my card reader to log into account I make OP's from.

You can use any card reader - as long as you use the correct card you can use a reader from anther bank (even if it is your DH's or friend's card reader).

I did this by accident and realised they all work this way.

Calmed down slightly since the other day :rotfl:. Found the paying in details for btl mortgage so have managed to make op of around £450 - 3 months off :j.

Went to Sainsbugs toy sale and bought a load of pressies for Xmas/birthdays but have decided to take some back & hopefully swap.Nice Sainsbugs keep giving me money off vouchers (had 5 off 30, now 8 off 40 , so going to check Mysupermarket and stock up on bargains. Also pop to Mr T as I have a 5p off petrol voucher.

Car breakdown due, had a phone call yesterday to say existing co will beat any quote, so phoning them at 9am to see if they can beat £25.92 - hardly worth it :rotfl:. ETA - present co wouldn't match so gone with Green - thanks Martin :kisses3:

Waiting on savings plan thingy to mature & pay out at end of month. 3k will knock off 20 months off btl mortgage so all good

Happy Saturday everyone :T

Sounds like you are having a very Happy Saturday already

I'm home alone at BF's as he has had to go to work (unpaid :mad:) so wondering what mischief I can get up to, think its to early to route for xmas presents

Never too early! But be careful you might not like what you find!

Hi GG
Its great when £450 OP knocks off 3 months! That much only knocks 1 month off at mo for me. Cant wait until its that low that it makes that much difference!

Glad you have calmed down haha
