    Did bulk food shop online or March. Grocery budget is £300 but thats including nappies and formula.. £180 approx spent but thats formula and nappies for a month plus stocking the storecupboard with tinned toms, veg etc..

    Enquired about a milkman. £1.60 for 2l fresh milk delivered to the doorstep compared to 2x2l for £2 in the local supermarket which means using fuel then spending extras of either my doing or sweets/magazine for the kids or £1.63 in the local corner shop. We use about 2l a day so where as the actual unit cost will be more I think the savings on fuel and n-needed spending will be worth it..

    Today I :

    Completed surveys on Onepoll and got £1.50
    Played Tiki on JPJ

    Completed loads of surveys on toluna -now on 63k with lots of survey totals to be added. I only bother with sponsered or quick vote ones not the "friend non paying ones". I don't get that side of Toluna - What's the benefit from doing it?

    £2.10 on New vista through Tcb - never have any probs with that.
    5p clicks on TCB

    I saved fuel ( shock horror I went out! ) and drove to 2 hospital appointments - but went from one hospital to another and avoided coming back home in between.


    Whilst I was out my microwave oven blew up - it's not the fuse , its tripping my electrics. I really hope I don't have to buy another one. It's my only cooker too. I have a gas hob but no actual cooker. I knew I shouldn't have gone out! See it pays to stay in! Literally :)
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

  • What a great day on onepoll. Im up to £26 so far and have only been doing it since the middle of Jan.
    Quick question though. When I get to enough for a payout I beleive that Im supposed to pay tax on it. Will they do it for me or can I do it through my tax code or what ? Sorry if this is a thick question !

    They just pay you the full amount , you have to request what method of payment you want - tax isn't mentioned.

    Cleared loads of plants/weeds from the garden and took some tree stumps to the tip. Increases the value of the house if we do decide to move

    Saw a mortgage advisor who laughed when I said we only have £20k on the current mortgage - that's not a mortgage, it's a credit card bill apparently :T:T
