no-one invited me either yukki.
Today I've:
* eaten one pack of out of date supernoodles and one of Mr M value noodles for my tea as DH went out so it was not worth cooking
* I asked for an official receipt with my prescription and have applied for a 3 month PPC as my GP has prescribed me cream and tablets so that is £14.40 :eek: for the two items for a month. I had them last month too so wish I had done this then. The PPC cost £30 so if I stay on skin products I will make back the remaining £14 before it expires.
* NSD other than the prescription which is rather essential.Debt at highest: £8k. Debt Free 31/12/2009. Original MFD May 2036, MF Dec 2018.0 -

No drinking - i am too busy trying to make money and being shown how to change DHs insurance policy online tomorrow as he needs to be insured for his current car until he transfers ownership, and then needs it switching to the new car so he can drive home. He's offered to take both kids with him. Maybe i should pretend the internet is down for extra peace.
:rotfl:
Pretty good day:- DH got £32.20 for the scrap he took today
- I wrote a dooyoo review for 30p, which has had 45 rates at 1.5p per rate.
- OP Was 40p today - now at £38.80 so payout could be next week.
- Got a NewVista survey again for £2. In 2 days that is £6, which was more than Jan and Feb together.
- survey network - 55p
- global test market - 35 points - now at 100/1000 for £30 redeem.
- played a bit of bingo but didn't win.
- 2 washloads on the line till some twonk lit a fire. I needed to dry the bedding in the TD though because of it. Very cross with selfish people.
- Dinner was corn beef hash pie - i made the pastry myself, and used up old mash cooked who remembers when but was ok, and only used 2/3 tin of approved food corn beef, the other 1/3rd can go in boys weekend sarnies.

Naughty me, not posting for a couple of days!
I have:- earned a life changing 15p on onepoll today
- transferred £9.80 from Crowdology to my paypal
- few Toluna and VO surveys all building up nicely
- received a couple of money off vouchers in the post I requested, rather than printing them off at home and using my ink and paper
- ate my DH's free lunch allowance salad
- had a day off work yesterday to catch up with an old friend who lives miles away. We stayed in and had a bacon butty, rather than going out and 'doing lunch'
- used £5.70 money off coupons at Mr T's this morning. Checked the till receipt and also saved £26.13 worth of BOGOFs / savings. Go me :T

Well, we had a meal in rather than a take away - and it was lovely and saved us at least £15.
I've done a few great onepolls (.45p I think)
So nothing huge but every little helps.
For my birthday, I got a voucher for pizza hut - not too classy, but we will use it for a weekend treat soon rather than getting a curry. It's only been as a reminder today that I have this voucher.

Morning one and all. I am trying to be good this morning.
- We all had a ride through to my sisters to take some scrap for her, so £6 gained.
- DH has now gone to get the new car, i stayed at home, so i could switch insurance online for him between the cars. I am enjoying the peace. I just managed to do a 175 point survey on ipsos taking me over my first £10 redeem so i picked an amazon voucher to see if i can pick my friends kids Easter gifts from there. Failing that, DS2s birthday is may, so it will still be some use.
- I've also washed our bedding and got it on the washing line, and rehung the wet duvet and pillow out there. They are both dripping. Hope there are no more fires today.
Off to see what else i can do while they are out.0 -
Mornin all!
Not much done so far and mrtyo still in bed so going to drag him to get up and out as it is gloriously sunny here today!!
So far for yest/today:
Pack lunch and dinners out of the freezer - which also allowed me to fit all remaining whoopsied bread into the freezer! :rotfl: it is very dangerous to open now I think!
Washing on at 30 and may even hang it out to dry (would involve buying some cheap pegs in town tho! thats shocking isnt it but communal washing lines and we have relied way too much on tumble dryer/heating in the past!)
Spent £1 on a fitness dvd at the local pound shop ( I am constantly amazed by what I can get in there!) best part tho is it explains the slimming world diet so can follow that along with magazine I already have to get back into my clothes rather than paying a fiver a week!! now just for the motivation!
Friends bday tonight, wine already bought so a NSD today I hope!0
