Thanks, I'm gonna need it. Done one and then spent 15mins sat here. :rotfl:

Better get another one done, and a spot of lunch while I do a few more surveys. I have the luxury today of not having a mad evening driving kids to there Nans and going asda so I'm taking it slow. If I don't get to their rooms they can do them.

Aiming_High

YEAH!! List is pretty much done, need to go through paperwork later, updating diary etc and work out the bills for this month but the house is clean and I'm already less stressed - good job really we have MIL's dog coming in a bit for the weekend.

Just finished my last post in a product survey forum....how long will payout be??? Lets hope not long.

No bargains for me on Amazon, maybe I just don't have the same taste as them, ahh well, looks like my vouchers will be safe. Most of todays surveys have been done, so might watch a spot of tele in a min (if I can get the kids off it)

I thought the same about amazon. Everyone was so hyped about it I thought there must be some brillian tthings! I saw a pair of socks for £5 and thought no way!!!!! :eek::eek:

I think sometimes the hype about a promotional thing like that is enough to make people buy in a panicked frenzy on stuff they wouldn't usually look twice at :rotfl:my new mantra....do i need it, will i use it? It's only a bargain if i need it :rotfl: sometimes i have to tell myself this several times when there are good things on offer though

Hope you're ok you haven't been on here for a few days :A

Aiming_High

Too true.

Yes I'm fine thank you. Working all weekend, with staff do on Saturday night and I'm so full of a stinking cold all I want to do is sleep. (I only blow my nose because I have to)

Got my request for payment details for the forum I've done so £65 winging it's way to me really soon..... will help with finishing off the christmas shopping I hope. I so want it all done now.

Get through work tomorrow and I'm off for 2 days (one due to strike action and the other for a dentist appointment). Still not done a budget this month, but we will need to work everything out soon as it's a tight pay packet of hubbies this month, but at least only a short time before Child Benefit comes in.

I think it's off to bed for me now though, I always hope that if I sleep lots the cold will go away for when I wake up.

WooHoo, surveys are paying up slowly but surely. I've just ordered another £15 voucher from Toluna, plus I got my payout of £65 for taking part in a discussion forum, also OnePoll is nearly half way. :T Will check on the others I don't go on as much soon. For now I need to get a bit of housework done before the dreaded trip to the dentist later. *Shudder*

Aiming_High

Well Toluna surveys must be points awarding today......they just keep going up and up. I love it when I log in and it's all shot up. :T

Just wish my vouchers etc would hurry up. I've cashed in 3 lots now and still waiting on the first one.

Right day off today and the horrid dentist in the middle of it all, so I need a list to work through.

WOW it's been a while since I posted. I'm still here, visiting every day but not always posting. Things seem a bit quiet here at the moment, we're getting through christmas with minimal damage. Planning to tackle more head on in the new year. :cool:

Yes we have done a couple of bad things to get christmas sorted. i.e. Done a buy now pay later, and deferred one big loan payment for one month however we have also worked out how to get over this. The loan payment has been spread out over the remaining term, so we'll still end on the same date (or before if we tackle the others) as it's the lowest interest. As for the buy now pay later, we've already started the pot, which with putting away £35 pm we'll pay it in 10 months, but we're going to use the 2 months free of Poll tax to make this as soon as possible.

I'm surveying like mad and topping up Amazon like crazy, some has been used for this years presents, but the rest is going to be the pot for next year so we don't get in the same position. Next year will be planned spending from money we save. :T We're also continuing to overpay the HFC debt by upping payments £1 per month, and any extra we can muster up going on the CC (this is the highest interest, but also one we have used as well as paid running up to christmas (plus the 3 birthdays our girls have at the same time) so I want to tackle the 2 debts at once, one that stays down and one that we WANT to stay down. :rotfl:

Right off to check my christmas list, as I think it's all now completed, just waiting for the last few bits to arrive.

I've got 4 whole days off now, so plan is to get this bomb sight of a house straightened up (what is it about leaving hubby and kids in house along that makes it so messy ), wrap presents (not even started yet) and try to relax a bit too.

Tata for now.
