    Still waiting on my NPB to sort it out and pay for her item. Bah!

    On the plus side, I sold a load of stuff via FB last night so have almost £50 sitting in my Paypal account :D

    This morning I'm off to Aldi for my top-up shop then the post office to send off all my wee sales. Tomorrow it's the big craft show at the SECC :j:j

    Morning folks :D

    It ended up being quite a busy day yesterday with trips to Aldi and the Post Office, a tidying of the living room, kitchen and craftroom and I also varnished a wee storage cabinet ready for all the stuff I'm going to buy today :rotfl::rotfl: The kitchen looks like a bomb has hit it again as I made roast chicken for dinner last night, so I'm going to try and get some dishes done before I leave.

    I slept really badly last night so have dug out the Proper Coffee and am trying to caffeinate myself into consciousness ;)

    This morning I've redeemed with Swagbucks, so have a £5 Amazon voucher on its way. My Amazon account only has £5 of credit in it just now, so must work harder! I keep getting screened out of surveys at the moment though :(

    Anyway, tis the Massive Craft Fair at the SECC today so I have to get a move on. I have my cash budget in my purse and just need to stop by Tesco to buy a backpack to carry all my purchases in! Have a good day all :D

    A brilliant day was had by all :D I came home with money, although I went with a healthy budget paid for by overtime, so that's not as impressive as it sounds :rotfl: There weren't as many bargains as I would have liked, but I think that the internet makes that harder each year. I still got some lovely things (pictures on FB for those interested) and was very pleased with my haul.

    Money

    PAD/Spends - £65
    Entertainment - £32.21
    Groceries - £103.91

    I received £25 today for some cards I sold, so half has gone to my loan and half to my laptop money.

    Surveys

    Onepoll - £14.25
    Ipsos - 430 points (won't be redeeming before Christmas at this rate)
    Valued opinions - £8.75 + £1.50 pending
    Mysurvey - 200 points (a third of the way to a voucher!)
    Swagbucks - 46 points

    Morning all :D


    Paypal money, Quidco and my Reward payments have combined to make a healthy PAD of £39ish. Most of it has gone to the laptop/vet bill, but I PADded £5 to my loan as well as I don't want to forget about that!

    I've not done many surveys this week, mainly because I've been crafting like a demon, and want to keep going with it while the urge to make Christmas cards is still upon me ;) I'm going to take some photos of them and will try and upload them tonight after Fat Club. I'm hoping for a reasonable weightloss at Fat Club - 2.5lbs would take me to 2.5 stones, but I'm not sure if I've done that well :D

    Best dash - 8am start at work, which I'm on time for, but I want to nip to the Post Office first! Happy Hump Day :T

    What time does your post office open? Or is it just for collections?

    Hope fat club has been a success ;)
    One step at a time ;)
