    * Ordered nappies from Amazons subscribe & save programme. Free del & save £’S
    * Used £2.50 voucher at farmf00ds – got some bargains and OP’d the £2.50
    * Won £1 off Innoc3nt O.J – being posted to me
    * Pegged washing out
    * drove slow - a very hard task for me!
    * Got £4.93 more mat pay than normal so Op'd it
    * 3000 pnts for a 1 min survey on tol!

    It’s a little earlier than normal for me to post but I think I’ll be a bit tied up later ( not literally which is a shame! )
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    * washing out (left out last night :o), another load about to go out and will put another on.
    * searched online job boards and applied for a vacancy (need more to be posted asap)
    * doing my food diary survey
    * checked Mr S in town for pasta (no luck) to save going to big store

    An ok last couple of days for me (better than the prevous couple of days anyway!).

    - Got double the difference back from Tesco as they had marked up something that I bought 3 of incorrectly - so £7.20 back on my card even when I only spent £11 in the first place! Result!:T

    - Went to work ;)

    - OP made £24.60 (£11 from mortgage pig and rounded down joint account)

    - Survey from Shopandscan - 500 points

    - Ordered some things I wanted from Boots online (all 3 for 2's) so got Topcashback, used credit card (for points and paid off straightaway) and gained Advantage points and will collect instore later in week for free delivery (I think this is the way forward with Boots!).

    - Am learning loads of things from other posters on here about how to add to the mortgage pot :T (thank you!)
  • Went to work, did a onepoll (.15) and got a Sainsburys order with £10 off for the first time of using them. Don't know if I can see a difference between them and Tesco, but for £10 saved, I figured it's good to try at least.

    Hope to have the next 4 days NSD too, have made a huge vat of soup tonight to ensure we don't go hungry this week and keep overheads down. And it tastes pretty good too.

    A day of pottering for me.
    • 95p earned on OP - only another 25p till payout, so should be tomorrow
    • £1 on a NV survey - now £7 earned there in March so far.
    • read gas/elec and water meters to keep an eye on useage. Electric a bit high.
    • One load of clothes part dried on the line.
    • done about 70 rates earlier on dy while it was working, and will try to write a new review for the same reason tonight. I'm getting so fed up of seeing this page will not load message.
    • veggie chilli for dinner using approved food beans. It was a large can so i portioned it up to freeze some of the rest of the can as it will get binned otherwise.
  • Chamichelle - do you use approved foods often? My friend buys it and ends up with the oddest assortment of food, e.g. 5 kg of coffee or a huge pack of nasty soups or flavourless fruit juices. Please reassure me it CAN be good?!
