Morning folks

Surveys

Ipsos - 745 points (1380 needed for redeem), still waiting for my £10 payout :mad:
Mysurvey - 170 points (£5 redeem requested)
Onepoll - £12.20 (£40 needed for payout)
Valued Opinions - £3.50 with £2.50 pending (£10 needed for payout)
Swagbucks - 798 (849 needed for payout)

Maximiles - 2473

I'm a while away from payout on most of them, but should be able to request SB by the weekend which is good. I received £7.50 in Amazon vouchers from Nectar this morning so that will be for my first Kindle books After that I'm going to aim for free books and save any further vouchers for Christmas. Bah!

Money

PAD/Spends - £74
Entertainment - £40.72 (working too much to go out!!)
Groceries - £81.92
Loan repayment fund - £1373.38
Mortgage overpayment fund - £56.43
[strike]Handbag fund[/strike]Crafty masterclass fund - £59.23

I'm not sleeping well at all at the moment. I woke up initially at 2am and have been fully awake since 5.20am :eek: I'm getting ready for work shortly and will go in early in the hopes of finishing early and being able to grab a nap before Fat Club. I won't be in any state to drive there otherwise. I hope my sleeping improves tonight as tomorrow I'm working from 9am until 10pm :eek: :eek: :eek:

Not a lot of MSE news here. My bills account is ticking over fine and I have enough money, but I'm waiting to hear from Npower as I recently gave them my meter readings. They tried to reduce my payment to £40 earlier in the year but I asked to compromise at £60 to try and build up a cushion, but their prices have gone up so I'm worried that they're going to hit me with a massive bill. Other than that, I'm trying to behave, but am finding Ebay very tempting

Hope everyone else is ok

Hi Flying and everyone

FF - hope you get a good nights kip soon. I didn't sleep well last week due to illness and this week i've woken up in the middle of the night worrying about money and work

Well done on your kindle hon!! that is fab - looking forward to hearing how you get on with it

And watcha looking at on ebay?

Saving for the craft fair / craft class sounds fab and is the sort of thing i'd like to do when i'm debt free - i love those things where you can go and make something but also you learn the skills that you can use then anytime :T

youareallhelpingme

Your working hours are crazy at the moment :eek:.

How did you get the Amazon vouchers from nectar?

I'm half way to my next SB without even trying. Whe you do the searches for the SBs do you just keep clicking quickly between pages or do you let it think you are scanning the options?

Ggood night's kip is still eluding me - last night I was in bed for ten, didn't sleep till half two, up again at half three and have been awake since then pretty much Work should be fun *rolls eyes*

Ebay? Me? Nothing *coughcraftscough*

The only good thing about last night's insomnia is that I got to roadtest the Kindle, which arrived yesterday :smileyhea

saorsie

and do you love it?!

Thinking about one myself, {maybe courtesy of santa as I'm obviously far too frugal to buy one outright and pale into the shadows regarding the collection of Am*zon vouchers compared to your bovine self }

Would be keen to hear your reviews when you've got to grips

I love it

It's remarkably light and easy to hold and I don't miss having a "real" book at all when using it. The lightness makes it a lot easier to read in bed too. The screen isn't harsh on your eyes at all and it downloads books using the wifi in seconds.

Get one, they're great!

Sounds fab
