    Today I did a food shop online and it cost £63 (£22 under budget :)). This included a 5 litre bottle of Fabric Conditioner that was on offer for £6.00, so I have done well this week.

    I have written a 'Meal Planner' for the whole of the week until next Wednesday and mainly bought food items that were 'necessary' but did buy a couple of treats.
  • Mornin all!
    My efforts for the last week or so are as follows... ;)
    *lunches/dinners from what we have in
    *£10 for old mobile
    *£31 coming from sale on amazon
    *cancelled some unecessary bills so over £50 saved next month
    *picked up some mystery shopping so should get a few quid from that!

    contemplating the grabbit board mrt shop for a big saving but we dont really need the food so not sure it would be "saving" to spend extra money!

  • Today:
    1, I took packed lunch to work.
    2, I did not spend anything.
    3, Updated my spending diary.
  • Today I:-

    *Charged my phone at work
    *Took a healthy packed lunch (which isn't brilliant as I can get a free but unhealthy one at work :cool:)
    *Joined OnePoll after Linz mentioned it here - thankee kindly! (Although I clearly don't fit the profile for most of their surveys :()
    *Did a YouGov survey then got a follow up survey - that's coming on nicely
    *Shopped around online for xmas pressies at the best prices - pre-ordered the last Harry Potter DVD for £7.46 (this includes cashback earned via Quidco)
    *Used mysupermarket to plan next shop
    *Popped into Tesco (and bought a lowfat and delish but expensive pizza for a late but quick dinner :o) and picked up some whoopsie meat for the freezer
    *I have to confess to having the heating on for a while this evening - sorry but I was freezing and wearing an extra jumper and wrapping myself in a blanket whilst sitting with a hot laptop on my knee, doesn't warm my feet, my hands and my face :p
    *Okay, off to investigate mysurvey now....

    I'm getting confused with all my survey sites; I meant MyVoice. Mysurvey is pretty good as well tho :)

  • oooooh I'll look at myvoice too

    I've just registered with mysurvey and after I did I saw there was a referral thingy that would have earned someone 100 points - so too late for that but if there is a myvoice incentive that you would benefit from then PM me and I will send you my email address

    I had the same problem to start with. After about three weeks it improved and
    I have just cashed out £40 this morning. Took 31/2 months.It's best to check
    3 or 4 times a day if possible. hth
