Mortgage-Free Fresian? Here's hoping!

Hi Fresian!

Long time, no speak. I'm SERIOUSLY jealous about all your Fringe activities.

If I moved to Edinburgh, I would be bankrupt! :rotfl:

I spent a fortune when I was at uni travelling in to see Fringe stuff, such a relief that at the time I was working two full time jobs or I could never have afforded the days out!

Morning all! How can it be Monday again?!

It's been a lovely weekend full of the food festival (FUDGE!!!) and catching up with friends. I also went to see the new Planet of the Apes film last night which was excellent.

It's eight days until payday (bah!) and here's how things are looking:

Pennies

PAD/Spends - £30
Entertainment - £32.55
Groceries - £21.23
Loan Repayment Fund - £1192.70
Handbag Fund - £29.18
Mortgage Repayment Fund - £47.84

Surveys

SB - 185
Onepoll - £9.60
Mysurvey - 380 points (550 to redeem)
Ipsos - 25 points (£10 Amazon ordered)
Toluna - 57064
Valued opinions - £1.25 + £2 pending

This morning I received £9 in petrol expenses from my last work trip, so I've put them into the loan repayment fund as I filled Fred on Thursday and barring any long-distance trips that should be enough go-go juice for him until payday.

I'm still selling bits and pieces on FB to the crafty groups, and have £9.50 sitting in my Paypal account at the moment. I've reduced the prices on some stuff now to try and get it sold. Hopefully it will all go in the next couple of days and I can clear some space in the house!

Looking good

Right case of the Mondays this morning - Mr Fresian had to be hit in the back of the head at 5.30am to stop his musical snoring (he was whistling, the git) then I forgot to put the hot water on which meant I left late for work, meaning I was behind all the 20mph muppets.

I came home to find no internet - THE HORROR - and spent my lunchbreak on the phone to a call centre. They told me it would be off until Thursday and credited my account with £15 but I've come home from work to find it's working again, so WOO! I also got my £10 voucher from Valued Opinions today for Amazon so I'm pleased with that one too.

Hopefully the evening perks up a little!

I enjoyed the Foodies Festival on Saturday. Got a mountain of cheese to get through (already started and it won't take long ). Went to see the new planet of the apes movie on Saturday night but missed the end as Little Miss needed a wee :doh:

Congrats on getting the £15 credit

I could cope without having most things, except the internet. How did we all manage without it.:eek:
