I don't understand that SB thing, i signed up and didn't know how to work it lol so gave uphave you reached payout?
How lovely for your ds to get a new laptop. My son keeps hinting for one (he's 13) but we can't afford it!!! Maybe when dh back pay comes in......

I didn't understand SB at first, but basically the thing to do is; Click the super button until you have no more left and watch all videos available under Matomy and Videos. Do this daily
That's all I do anywyay, occasionally I get an email with points, and sometimes a survey.
I'm now at 930 so 70 points off my first payout. It doesn't take long each day and isn't the best for payout, but it's something.
Yea DS is lucky, we debated over one for him at christmas, but couldn't warrant the money, Nana's money is a different matter though.You have to start to finish.

The Lloyds PPI cheque has finally arrived!! :T It's in the bank clearing as we speak which means I should have a Big Fat 0 in my signature by the end of next week. We'll also be paying off the Buy now pay later if hubby gets his bonus this month which should mean things can go down nicely after that.
I've already set up the standing order for Poll Tax to go to HFC which will take it under £100 by the end of the month. Things are looking up, things may be tight still, but we can now see it's for a reason.You have to start to finish.

Well the time is nearly here....Cheque is due to clear tomorrow along with hubbies nice bonus. This should clear the CC and the buy now pay later putting us in a winning situation. (plus we can replace the shower than broke just after january)
On the down side it looks like I'll need the extra poll tax payment to renew my passport rather than paying it off HFC. I need to go to Oz for family reasons...it's a partly free holiday as I'm not going to be paying for my flight, but I don't think I'll get passport renewal back. At least progress is there...
Right off to get stuff sorted. Got loads to do and not a lot of time to do it. :eek:You have to start to finish.

the Buy now pay later has now been paid. :T
I've also updated my signature with it as I like 0's and added the studio that has been going down steadily (just put total as the last statement) Also as more get paid off I'll update figures with the next challenge as not all are in my sig. Ooops
Trip to Oz is going to hit the figures as overpayments I'd planned to make I can't., and we need to be careful the big bank balance today doesn't get away from us as it's not as healthy as it looks. :eek: (someone needs to tell hubby), I think more items need to go on eBay...

My kindle has arrived. :T
Hubby said to treat myself with the Amazon vouchers, and I can see the benefit with a long flight to go on....so i did. Lets hope for lots more surveys this year to help me complete my book collection as well as make a nest egg for christmas.
Flights to Oz are being booked by my brother as I type....eek. Got so much to do and not a lot of time!
Right need to get this house cleaned up so I can plough on with the wedding invites for my niece tonight. I love having a saturday off!!You have to start to finish.

Well I love payday. :T
My signature is looking a bit healthier. No more 0's yet but some are getting there, I need to get a new total for HFC I think as it's less than I have and I want to pay that off soon.
Just need to save spends etc now...You have to start to finish.

Well i have the same number of 0's just that the littlewoods has gone to 0 but the CC has gone back up.
Going to Oz has hit us a bit.
But it was a lovely trip and I really did enjoy seeing the family.
Now to get my debt busting head back on, and keep clearing those others that can't go back up while bashing down the CC again to a respectable 0. I will not be beaten...off to list some bits on eBay.You have to start to finish.

Well it's payday again. Another one done and dusted with Studio and HFC isn't far behind, I'm hoping it will clear before my next payday as we're budgeting a bit more now with shopping etc but time will tell. If not it will be clear by next month.
Listing on eBay didn't happen, but I'm still hoping to get some bits on soon. Off to bed now as i've got work tomorrow and have only just finished putting the shopping away.You have to start to finish.
