Surveys
Onepoll - [STRIKE]£8.50[/STRIKE]£8.70
Mysurvey - 190 points
Ipsos access - 800 points
Valued opinions - £7.75 with £3 pending [STRIKE]£6.75 with £3 pending[/STRIKE]
Toluna - 41,824 points Balance has reduced for some reason
Swagbucks - 598SB thanks to surveys! [STRIKE]386SB [/STRIKE]
As you can see, the surveys are ticking along nicely! It's payday today (WOOOOOO!) and the accounts look thusly:
PAD/Spends - £200
Entertainment - £59.19
Groceries - £200
ISA - £1065.18
Normally I only allow myself £140 for my PAD/Spends for the month, but I did overtime last month so had some extra money. I would rather keep that in the PAD/Spends as last month I felt really skint for the last two weeks of the month. With the Edinburgh Fringe coming, I may need the extra pennies!
I have reduced my groceries budget by £10 this month and for future months. I'll see if I'm able to stick to this. I'm finding it more expensive at the moment due to me making the choice to eat more fresh fruit and veg, although I'm also saving by not buying cakes/biscuits, much to Mr Fresian's disgust :rotfl: The sad fact is just that things are more expensive now and that it's harder to find good whoopsies in the supermarket too.
I am pretty much at zero on the credit card at the moment, although I will confirm that tomorrow when I figure out how many things I'm returning to Next from their sale. I'm now on an essential hunt for work trousers as most of mine are far too big, and I spend all day hiking them up :rotfl: Thankfully as it's Friday I can wear my jeans today and leave that worry for the weekend.
Plans for tomorrow include hopefully picking up Fred from the dealership and seeing if his boot will fit all of the shopping we need at the moment. I've been trying to run the freezer down but we're now running out of most things. Time to write a big list and hit the supermarkets! I'm also probably going to the pub tonight after work which I'm really looking forward to
Happy Fridays to all!
