Just how to get started, which sites you would recommend, that kind of thing!

The ones I use are:

Ipsos
Valued Opinions
Mysurvey
Swagbucks

I avoid Toluna as they take AGES to send vouchers and it takes AGES to earn any points.

If you want to PM me your email address I'll refer you to them and send you some more info to save boring everyone here

Surveys

No change to any of them apart from Swagbucks which is up to 224SB.

Money

After my spending in Asda yesterday, the accounts have taken a bit of a battering.

PAD/Spends - £5
Entertainment - £13.62
Groceries - £5.18 :eek:

I get paid on Friday, so the groceries money should cover milk/bread until then. Tonight after work I'm making pea and ham soup and will only be eating freezer foods for the rest of the week

Morning FF

i think you emailed me the details for swagbucks(will have to look) but didnt understand it (im easily confused) Will try again as you seem to do so well out of it.

I have been trying to eat out of my freezer and empty it since september but kept adding to it.So i emptied it yesterday and oh took it to his mums so i could defrost it.It was really bad and is still defrosting now:eek:

You do so well on your budgets ,dont know quite how you do so well to get it to go so far and have a life.
DH has a few debts which im plouging through and look forward to the time when life gets a bit easier.I wasnt brave enough to set up a diary on here,i was a bit obvious so started one on another site, Changesd my user name now so dont feel as obvious now:D

It took me 24 hours to defrost mine recently but it hadn't been done for years :eek: Worse than that, I had decanted everything in to a cool box and it was in there so long half of it defrosted and had to go to the tip as I hadn't time to cook it all :mad:

I am sure that it becomes less efficient when it is that bad so must make sure it doesn't get that bad ever again. (is there a slap smiley anywhere?)

Are you planning any shopping in the sales?

I am planning a LOT of shopping in the sales I have been holding off buying new clothes for work as I don't like spending too much I need trousers, tops and work shoes, most of which I will get at Next/New Look. I'm also looking for new jeans and am thinking that I'm going to have a wee shufty at the Coast sale for a treat too

If you need any help with it just ask. I've been using SB for so long now it's second nature, but it is confusing to start with.
