    The car could only be improved if the button said Wheeeeee!!!!! instead of Sport.

    Morning all :D

    Payday is in two days and I can't wait. I have still got a shiny £10 note in my purse though, so if I don't spend it I'm going to put it towards the mortgage :A

    I've done a 100SB survey this morning on Swagbucks so I'm back over 200 points and well on my way to my next Amazon voucher. All the other survey sites aren't playing with me this morning.

    I'm waiting to hear back about another test drive this morning, so will keep you updated about the progress ;)

    Just got some good news through the post - I've been approved for the Nectar credit card I applied for. I get 3000 points (£15 Amazon voucher equivilant) for making any purchase on it, so the new car insurance will go on there. I also get extra nectar points at Sainsbury's when I pay with this card.

    I'll mainly be using my Tesco credit card for other purchases, but this will be handy for when I'm at Sainsbury's (I love their reduced section ;))

    Morning!

    Exciting news first - I lost 5lbs this week at Fat Club which brings my total weightloss to 18.5lbs :j :j :j I don't know what I did differently this week, but I'm pretty happy nonetheless!

    Money

    Payday is tomorrow so I have put £12ish from my accounts into my ISA. I've left the remaining money sitting in my Entertainment pot as I've got a couple of night's out in the next two weeks and the Fringe festival starts in a couple of weeks too.

    Surveys

    Onepoll - £8.50
    Mysurvey - 190 points
    Ipsos access - 800 points (referrals available if anyone wants to join)
    Valued opinions - £6.75 with £3 pending
    Toluna - 42,424 points
    Swagbucks - 386SB as I seem to qualify for more of their surveys this week :)

    Car news

    We drove the Fiat 500 1.4 Sport on Tuesday and loved it (it's the one with the Wheeeee!!!! button)

    Yesterday we drove the 1.2 which I liked but which isn't as much fun. We also looked at another 1.4 Sport but it was out of warranty and quite expensive for what it was.

    Today we're driving a 1.2 Sport and if we don't like it we're definitely going for the 1.4 :D:D
