Hello!
Had a good weekend not spending much.
Signed up to do some surveys - One poll at £3.65 and nothing but competitions on VO but you've got to be in it to win it eh!?
Applied for MySurvey via cash back last night too.
Won £51 on bingo over the weekend so I'm very pleased with that and have been topping up the loose change pot and virtual loose change account.
Have been a lot more frugal with the food budget.
Have realised I need to be more positive about life/work/money etc rather than resenting my relatively well paid job because it interferes with my social life!!?MFW 2012 #70- 1996.98/100000 -
Got my road tax renewal through the post.
Last year it was bad enough at £210, but this year it has gone up to £245 :eek:
Thank goodness for my "annual bills divided by 12" account I set up.
Guess it needs a little tweeking now !0 -
Today I:
* parked in the NCP as I get quidco cashback
* had a couple of free biscuits in the library (went to a social session there) and ordered a new book rather than buying one!
* had a tea of use-ups on toast and beans (did use fresh cheese)Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -
Today I:
- Took in some soup from the freezer for lunch at work. I really need to run the freezer down as it desperately needs defrosting
- 40p on Onepoll
- Did a couple of Toluna surveys - hooray, I'm starting to qualify for more
- On the minus side, I took DH's car to work this morning and I got in it to find the blooming petrol light on. :mad: So that made me late for work as I had to fill it up with petrol - £50 - ouch!

Nothing that exciting today. The kids wanted to be outside so i had to watch them while pottering. I can see how this will work out as the weather keeps improving. I am also having a CBA evening tonight.
- Onepoll - 55p
- toluna - 4 surveys validated, so now at nearly 40k points, no surveys today
- mysurvey - 50 points
- played a bit of free bingo but no wins.
- finished off knitted baby present. Now need to post.

Today's small things:
- Toluna added on a whopping 50k points overnight of owed open surveys, so I had enough to order another £15 Debenhams voucher
- onepoll was good today = 55p
- in Mr T's bought a 1/2 price Indian takeaway bag in the 'reduced' bit for £3.24 - this has 2 main meals, large pilar rice, bombay potatoes and a naan bread - stuck them all in the freezer for now
- used my 2 printed 'free box of go-cat biscuits' vouchers today
- won another Greggs BOGOF bacon/sausage roll
- my laptop has developed a fault (not burning discs, not recognising anything in the CD drive) and a has a second fault where the fan is very noisy and the laptop is getting very hot
BUT...oh happy days, knew we took out extra insurance cover on it and have discovered we are just within the 3 years validity
so we are sending it off to be repaired for 'free' thank god for the insurance
(just glad I can use DHs work laptop while mine is away, otherwise I would have serious MSE withdrawal symptoms!!)
