I had some good tesco DTD vouchers while it lasted Shame its been pulled now though!
I have tried to post a new (old) review on to ciao but i find their way of finding items very hard to use and I can't find anything on there which I've already reviewed
I've been screened out of onepoll
The other day I got some lovely work clothes from a carboot sale!! Very happy bunny with those and MSE because I will need a smarter word wardrobe over the next few months

Oh and I got my car ins but couldnt get any cashback It was expensive but buying it all in one go saved over £100 vs paying monthly!

My first "small thing" to add to this thread!

Yesterday the draught excluder that I ordered from eBay arrived, and today I have fitted it to the door from the garage into the house, which used to have a howling gale coming in under it, but not any more. Good news for the gas bill.

*Cooked a whole chicken (3 for £10 ) for sandwiches instead of buying those expensive flavoured 300g packs
*Wrote to tax office to ask them to look at previous 6 years to see if I've overpaid
*Completed a New vista survey
*Completed a Tolunnnna survey that landed in my inbox
*Phoned tax credits as they didn't pay me today - turns out someone in-putted the wrong info. Good news is I now get an extra £30 pw.
*Pegged my washing out on this fabulous windy day

Didn't post yesterday so over the last couple of days I have been -

- clicking/surveying

- took packed lunch to work and ate tea from food in the house

- £3 from p!necone, £4.74 from Speedcashback and £9.02 from Fat Cheese paid into bank/paypal

- Monthly pay has gone up about £13 with the increase in tax allowance

- Saved my parents almost £100 on annual travel insurance. Saga wanted £137 off them :eek: so i shopped around on this site and got them cover for £40.25 instead

- Getting £5 credit for introducing my mum to Giffgaff (mobile phone network) so now we can call and text each other for free :T

- On the same note, my mum has now introduced my dad so they can both chat or text for free aswell and she gets another £5 credit

- Renewed car breakdown cover and went with AutoNational, for £57, with 17% cashback on TCB

- Patiently waiting for the start of next month so I can move money around, get the Halifax £5 reward etc and more importantly, OP

Today , I sewed up some trousers that were a bit long for me that I got in the car boot sale for £2. Also my daughter has grown taller and discovered her trousers were too short on the leg. So we made them into shorts:rotfl:.

Items ended on ebay today and sold .

Did a survey.

Hubby checked our accouts and said we can make a lump sum payment of £2000 on tuesday :j.
Shows how all the pennys add up.

Trying to be good after spending all this morning watching the wedding, and then all of the afternoon out shopping.

• Dinner was leftover spag bol, which i made into chilli. I also stirred leftover cous cous into the rice so it got eaten rather than being thrown out.
• Wrote a new review for DY
• posted an old review onto ciao - thanks tinkerbel as you mentioned the April promo of 20p per review, which spurred me on to post over there, and i am up to £2.75. It is continuing in May at 15p per review, so i will keep on pasting my old stuff over there. I find Ciao hard to work through too, as i just don't get it. Not that i am thick, it just seems so random how they pay you. I don't find it clear.
• played bingo - won a one line and a 2 line.
• GTM survey for 35 panel points
• cleared my inbox of survey network invites but qualified for none.
• We did spend £90 at B and Q for stuff to continue making the garden better, but used a 15% off voucher, and also i see it as money saving in the long run as the nicer the garden is the more time we spend at home not out spending elsewhere.
• Need to go to Mr T tomorrow, so will remember to hand in extra points vouchers and use £6 off £40 spend voucher.

thanks for the ciao tip! I just need to write reviews which fit into both DY and ciao I guess!! I'll mainly focus on DY for now though. Ciao payments seem pretty random but I've had £10 or £15 this year which isn't bad for just copying and pasting I guess!!
Not got a lot planned for today! just enjoying some much needed time off!
Yesterday was a NSD and I've tried to apply for a new bank account which might give cashback

Last night I went to a friends house to meet up with the girls for a girlie night so was always going to be a cheap night. BUT my friend (and her lavish clothes buying sister) had had a mammouth clothes sort-out and I came away with 4 skirts, 3 tops and a cardigan!!

That's me sorted if the summer comes to the north east this year!
