Hi F_F - lots of good things going on here, well done as always

I only do Pinecone surveys and find them v tedious. However, you have again motivated me to get off me backside and do something useful and generate a bit more income. Therefore, will you inbox me some referral links please

No worries. PM me your email address and I'll email you a tonne of referrals

Morning folks

It's nearly payday at Fresian Towers and most of the accounts are empty! I have paid £10 into the loan overpayment account this morning and £2.50 towards the mortgage overpayments though. I also paid £21 in change into the mortgage account yesterday which shows that my policy of trying not to fritter coins under £1 in value seems to be working.

Surveys

SB - 493
Onepoll - £10.85
Mysurvey - 545 points (550 to redeem)
Ipsos - 475 points and still waiting for my £10 Amazon voucher...!
Toluna - 62554
Valued opinions - £2+£3 pending
Maximiles - 2213 points (8400 needed for £30 Amazon or a more realistic 3000 for a £10 Sainsbury's voucher)

The good thing about the sheer volume of surveys I'm doing at the moment is that there's always one company where I'm close to payout...Mysurvey being the current one. When there's a steady trickle of Amazon vouchers it feels quite nice rather than feeling like I'm constantly slogging away. If I put some effort in with Toluna I could probably get to my 80,000 points quicker but it's so sodding boring

My £12.50 PAD today came from card sales - my mum's friend had asked for me to send a selection to her and she bought them all :j I'm going to make some more in time for my next visit home and see if I can sell some more. I'm also in the middle of making 10 cards for a MSE friend so once that's done it will be more pennies in the coffers.

Off to get showered now - I'm working an eight hour shift today so need to get ready. I've been on call since Friday and not been used so will have made just over £100 (before tax and sodding student loans) for sitting about the house over the course of the weekend :money:

I also need to throw a tenner of fuel in the car on my way to work as the red light has come on and I really don't like seeing that. Mr Fresian says we have plenty of fuel until I get paid on Tuesday but I hate risking it

I've put another 11 items up for sale on Facebook this morning so hopefully some of them will sell. I need to be honest though and state that this is because one of my favourite websites has a new stamp set out tomorrow and I need it

Good morning F_F
Brilliant card sales chick and well done on the loan and mortgage OP. Your doing really well to say that you were just going to focus on getting rid of the loan, your still managing to OP the mortgage which is fab.

I know what you mean about the car fuel, it fills me with panic as it gets close to the red..even though mine is a diesel;) yep have to agree Toluna is booooring!! Still waiting for a LovetoShop voucher for £15 any vouchers I get go towards christmas pressies.

Have a good day today and hope you have at least something left out of the £100 once the tax and studie loan comes out.

Catch you later chick.

My dad used to say not to let the gauge get less than a quarter empty as if there is any rubbish sitting in the bottom of the tank, it can get dragged up into the engine and cause lots of problems.

Well done on everything else!

I had to chase Valued Opinions for my vouchers, they should come in 24 hours but it was a couple of weeks in the end they cut and pasted a code into an email :eek:.

And yes Pickles dad is correct, never use the very last fuel in the tank in case there are any bad bits which could block the fuel filter, lines or injectors. Very expensive to repair.

I knew I wasn't being paranoid I did feel like a pauper yesterday though when I went to the petrol station and put a whopping £7 in the tank :rotfl::rotfl:

Payday tomorrow! All accounts have been emptied and I have put a respetable £19 into the loan overpayment account with what was left from my socialising budget :A Current state of savings is:

ISA (Loan fund) - £1237.02
Mortgage overpayment fund - £49.84
Handbag/treat fund - £39.18

I'm thinking of using the handbag money as some kind of treat fund for smaller treats. I'm will need to buy clothes as my weight goes down and there's also a big craft fair coming up in Glasgow in October that I would like to go to. I'm going to put my overtime from the weekend partly towards that and partly to the loan overpayment fund. I ended up on call for 41 hours, in the office for five and a half then on call for another four and a half hours. That will be a nice overtime payment on top of the other overtime I've done this month

Hopefully my Sainsbury's gift card will arrive today (Bought a £100 one with a 5% discount) and I can fill Fred up and will then hopefully buy a new slow cooker from there too The front panel on mine has come loose and I don't want to leave it on all day if there are wonky electrics :eek:

No new items have sold on FB yet, but I'm keeping a couple aside for a girl from MSE for when she gets paid at the end of the week, so that will be £12 for me I've withdrawn a small amount of my Paypal balance into my bank account in the meantime to try and keep me away from buying more crafts. That being said, I'm planning on buying a couple of essentials later today

Happy Mondays to all, better get myself ready for work

All looking good! good luck with the sales.
