How many points do you need for the £5 amazon voucher? I've done my 1st survey for them tonight.

No idea which one you're talking about, but it's 849 points from Swagbucks for £5 Amazon and 550 Mysurvey points. Hope it was one of those you meant!

Spending Diary

£26.22 on fuel (transferred £24.91 to cover it with the 5% discount from using Sainsbury's giftcard to pay.
£0.92 posting FB sales
£2.15 on Weight Watchers bars at the meeting tonight (4.5lbs off this week, taking me to over 2 stones. WOO!)
£2.80 on another stamp for my crafts collection
£26.63 in Sainsburys as follows:

Sausages for Mr F - £0.99
Pineapple flavoured raisins (sound weird, but NOM!) - £1.17 for three packs
Bread - £1.35
Eggs - £1.70 (Gah...really wanted egg on toast for tea though)
Catfood - £5
Slow cooker - £20.42
COUPON saved £4 on £20 shop

This would have also saved another 5% if I had remembered about my sodding Sainsbury's giftcard, but it had been a long day and I forgot. :doh:

The full price of the slow cooker will come from my PAD/Spends account and the £4-reduced groceries spend will come from there. I also got a coupon for 100 points on my next shop which will go well with my next £4 off a £20 shop coupon

Total spend today = £57.41 :eek:

Great weight loss. It must feel fab to have done it when you weren't expecting to as well.

Thanks Michelle It was suprising but a really nice feeling

My work expenses have arrived today so I've paid them into my credit card account. It should be at a zero balance now, but I'll need to do some playing around with it to check this - probably next week when this week's transactions have gone through.

I've redeemed with SB this morning for another £5 certificate, so that's going to help the Kindle fund along nicely! I have £73.69 in there at the moment and am waiting for £5 from SB, £5 from Mysurvey and £10 from Ipsos I'm also a third of the way through a series of Mysurvey surveys which will pay out 1500 points (almost enough for £15 Amazon vouchers) when fully complete. I don't know if they are going to be weekly or monthly but it's a series of surveys worth doing.

Other than that the money situation is:

Purse - £7
PAD/Spends - £160
Entertainment - £40.72
Groceries - £193.80
ISA/Loan repayment - £1265.80
Mortgage outstanding - £43,008.75

I'm going to have to make a trip to the bank to pay £10 into the mortgage at some point soon, as seeing that balance will just annoy me otherwise

This weekend I'm planning a trip to Costco to stock up on essentials like meat for the next couple of months. As Mr F's sister is moving out next week (WOO!) the second freezer in the hall will become free again, so if I take the hit this month in terms of spending money on meat etc I should reap the rewards in the coming months. I've made the decision to take the spends for any WW bars etc I make in meetings out of my PAD account and not my groceries one. I'm spending around £4 per week and I think that's what made such a difference to my spending last month. May as well give it a go!

Any idea which providers Moo?

One of the biggies as it was on a big sign outside their store. Can't remember which one though

All the internet deals seem to link back here but its more expensive. There are also lots of press releases about the Carhone Warehouse offering this promotion but nothing on their website.

Funny you should say that Moo, as I'm wearing a dress to work today for the first time since Snowmageddon (when my wellies wouldn't fit over my fat legs and my trousers)

This isn't because of some new-found pride in my body, but because I'm a Tired Fresian who forgot to empty the washing machine leaving my two trouser-based options as:

A - a size and a bit too big and constantly falling down with no belt-loops to assist
B - half a size too small and painful to sit down in

I'm still wearing trainers until I get into the office though as I have no idea how people drive and wear heels at the same time.
