Hello all:

I'll be banking two refund cheques from 'try me free' offers.

Checking Quidco and One Poll.

Print two lots of Tesco cashback from https://www.tescopricecheck.com

Go to "Vinnie the panda – Fox’s Biscuits" on Facebook and see if I can win any free biscuits.

Free flowers into vases from our window box.

Investigate http://www.voucher-king.co.uk/

Found a 50p off Vimto voucher on Vimto's Facebook page. You have to click on Seriously Mixed Up Fruit to access it. No-one I know likes Vimto, however!

Printed a voucher for a free 500ml bottle of Dr Pepper from: https://pepperhood.drpepper.co.uk/Account/Register

Printed 40p off Galloway Cheddar coupon from Facebook. Search on Galloway Cheddar Family Favourites to find it. I think you can only buy this in Scotland.

Printed off a refund claim for Chicago Town Pizza from here: http://www.chicagotown.com/swap/

Printed 50p off Philadelphia coupon http://www.philadelphia.co.uk

Good afternoon everyone. I have been online since early this morning but have only just got around to doing my list (which is badly needed, as I don't seem to be getting anything done). Finding it hard to get motivated after spending the weekend with DH and kids.


My list for today:

• [STRIKE]Catch up with emails[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Daily clicks[/STRIKE]
• Check one poll
• Check pure profile
• Complete surveys that are in my inbox
• Look for ms work
• Look into available jobs
• Check quidco for freebies
• Catch up with pigsback and enter the comp
• Rip down the unwanted top (using the wool to make a soft toy for dd)
• Make a start on the lion that I am making for dd
• Update product paperwork
• [STRIKE]Bath dd[/STRIKE]
• Catch up with freebies thread
• Do work on database
• Type up report (4000 words)
• Write the 2 articles for client
• Do the required ms work
• Take kids out for a walk if it dries up

I think that is everything that I need to get done today, I best get on as it is nearly 4pm and there is not very much of my list completed. :eek:

Well I am thoroughly demotivated now...my tax credits have been cut in half due to earnings last year (Gone from £400 to £200 - pretty much all of this is childcare). This has really scuppered me, I have had to ask DD's dad for financial help I know she's his daughter and he should be paying etc but I never wanted to be in a position where I relied on his money (he is terrible with money and he is why I have the CC debts I have now).

I am not going to earn anywhere near as much this year as the motor trade is dead quiet at the moment. I am just going to have to push push push and work my a55 off. Ex has stumped up the cash with no arguments whatsoever. In fact he was so nice about it I started bawling my eyes out!

I can't help but see this as a failure, I know I should be thinking otherwise and that he SHOULD be paying, but I have been so good the past year I have been on my own I was so proud of myself

Ask them to base it on this year, we did that when we had another wage coming in and it was much easier, they did warn me that I may have an overpayment doing it that way but that never happened. You have my sympathies, my TC were cut by over £50 pw back in april and I had no idea how we would manage. Keep your chin up, get a regular payment plan in place from ex and start to see that it is your money for DD and not a hand out
