Hi All,

Not the best couple of days

- went to MIL for dinner yesterday
- spent £36 yesterday in peacocks on 2 dresses, a scarf, 2 necklaces, some bangles, jeans and shoes for baby DD. All in the sale dresses down from £30 to £7 but not desperately needed. :-(
- Also spent £5 in the bakers as I couldn't be bothered to make lunch. :-(
- Got petrol today in the town where I work as its 4p a litre cheaper there.
- got my lunch from boots, £3.29 plus points (am trying to take a pack up 3 times a week)
- Got a payrise only 2% but every little helps and all that (backdated to Jan)
- Council tax bill for next year is £17 a month under budget

All in all not the best couple of days MUST TRY HARDER!

Didnt go to the shops at lunchtime!- result - NSD ! :rotfl:

Today I have -

done clicks/surveys
packed lunch at work
cheap tea (beans on toast!)
requested £9.02 from paypal (click/p*nec0ne/ebay money)
lift to swimming so saves petrol
done another car insurance quote on tcb for 50p ready for renewing next month. It's looking like my insurance has gone up about £100 since last year and cashback is thin on the ground for the ones coming up cheapest

Just a quick one from me...1poll. OH reached payout last week when we logged on it today it said the same even though he has claimed it. We just put the details in again and it cleared the £40.00. I thought the same about 1 poll, if it ain't broke!

Exactly the dsame happened to me. I just claimed again but got an error, although my balance was reduced afterwards, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed the original claim comes through!!

The Op site is really peeving me off now tonight. Can anyone do anything on it without it crashing? And the virus checker is pinging like a wild thing while i am trying to use it. I hope they get it sorted out quickly.

I'm going to have to join Onepoll when its up and running again - sounds like its worthwhile - so thank you for that suggestion!:)

Over the last couple of days (I don't feel I have enough to update every day !) I have....

- Received £150 from overpaying elec - so OP made to mortgage today with this money

- Applied for amex mbna cashback credit card to use on groceries and petrol

- bought a new 2'6" bed and mattress but did it the MFW way. Its going to be used to make one of our bedrooms look like a bedroom when hopefully we put the house on the market (so hopefully increase value?!:rotfl:) and used 2 TCB Amazon vouchers I received and used credit card to pay for the rest - so credit card points, Nectar points and TCB used!

- Was too tempted by the posting on the grabbit board for maxi dresses at boohoo.com - but these were only £15 each and I did use TCB and credit card!
