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!

Doh! Sorry you were just meant to know It was mysurvey i was thinking about, so thank you for the answer.

That's fab work with the weightloss. Hope you've enjoyed slinking around in your dress :j

My kindle keeps making me buy books! It's a little minx, so it is.

Spending diary

Tea - £1
1st trip to Asda - £21.61 (inc 5% off as paid with gift card)
2nd trip to Asda (forgot onions) - £2.21 (Also forgot bananas)

Realising after the 2nd trip that you already had onions in the sodding house.....priceless :rotfl:

love it! I did that yesterday with milk - i'd got loads in the freezer.

After reading your post this morning, I have today started my 1st spending diary - i think it will scare me into being more careful. I don't know whether to think of you as a good influence or not

Not as such, but we do get a small percentage of our salary added on monthly to help us pay for benefits including dental insurance. You can also choose not to use this cash at all and save it for Christmas or take it as a monthy increment in your salary. I'm getting it in my Christmas salary :money:

The slow cooker I bought the other day is going back - it's 3.5L which I thought would be fine but compared it to my other one and it's teeny. I need a much larger machine!

Surveys

Onepoll - £11.25
Mysurvey - 115 points although I am two thirds of the way through a series of the dullest survey of all time which will net me 1500 points once all three sections are completed
Ipsos - 575 points and still waiting for my Amazon voucher. Mysurvey has already arrived - another £5 into the fund
Toluna - 62,764 I really need to spend time doing their longer surveys as when the points eventually turn up I'll be able to order a voucher
Valued Opinions - £3.50 with £1.50 pending
SB - 38 points with redeem pending

Ebay sales are up to £7.19 minus fees which isn't too bad.

Yesterdays spends weren't awful. I saved £1.26 by using the giftcard and as the first shop was larger I put the receipt info into the Asda Price Guarantee website this morning and got a voucher for £1.26 as well

This weekend I'm making sure that the cupboards are as stocked as they can be for the month to try and minimise the amount of time I'm "just popping to the shops" as last month I was spending £7-10 every time I did that

Thank Crunchie it's Friday anyway!

One way to save on shopping - leave DS at home :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

I have just reached payout on SB :T.
