    So yesterday I went to Fat Club (put on 2lbs, which isn't bad given the amount of stuff I've been eating that I *know* is bad ;) ) and then went and did the food shopping. My food purse now has £152.93 to last until the end of the month which should be plenty. I made my pea and ham soup which was ok, but will be tastier today - homemade soup is always better on day 2 for some reason!

    Today I'll be making stew with some beef from Donald Russell. When I first ordered I referred someone from here and chose my gift for recommending them as more meat! When I finally made my second order, I not only got the eight packs of mince I had ordered, but a meat selection I had forgotten all about :D My freezer is now bursting...

    I've done my daily target on SB so have 201SBs now which is 648 away from my next Amazon card. I've been reliably earning £25 a month with them and they're the only company I'm really spending time on although I dabble in Nectar surveys and adpoints.

    Lazy Sunday planned - heading to see James Bond with my best friend later, woo!

    Mainly through following this thread! Come and join it and ask questions if you need help - they know a lot more than me.

    I normally do the following each day:

    Watch some of the videos on the homepage
    At least one survey
    NOSO (Top of the main page)
    Daily poll
    Searches via SB
    Using their toolbar on my browser
    Daily tasks at midnight

    I try not to spend more than half an hour a day on it unless necessary and still earn around £25 per month :D

    Today I've applied for four and a half jobs (four applied for, one application form half completed). I've hit my daily target on SB and have earned 54 Nectar points on their adpoints website. I've also reduced my Nectar balance to practically nothing as I've ordered another £10 voucher from there - waiting for that and a £5 one from SB which will help to pay for the last of the Christmas presents.

    I made my stew this morning rather than yesterday so will have that for dinner in a wee while - it smells pretty good anyway! Tomorrow I'm going to do a big pan of bolognaise hopefully which will keep us going for a few days.

    Nowt else to report here - not spent any money so far today though so that feels quite MSE :D

  • Welcome back F_F. Good luck with the job hunting!

    I thought adpoints were great until I ran out of videos to watch and earn points on. I only got 25 last week :eek:

  • Quick question about SB's - I've tried to read the challenge thread but it moves soooooooo fast!

    What is the benefit to having "friends" on there? I saw someone put a message saying people could add them.

    There is no benefit from friends but referrals get you more swagbucks, you get up to 1000 swagbucks per referral through them searching.
