On the up!

meow5678

Loving your diary, just had a good read through it.

Is swagbucks good? I signed up expecting it to be a poll site but wasn't really sure how to earn, so I haven't been back on it...
Any tips!?

Hello meow 5678

Yes, sw@gbucks is defo worth it . Just fill in the odd survey, watch the videos (always on another tab so that you can do other stuff) and the points definately add up at a much faster rate than the other sites. They have offers on with other sites which you can take advantage off - places like The B0dy Sh0p and you get the points straight away. You don't have to wait an age like you do with T0p C@shback and Qu1dco.

Well, I have lost my mojo - boo! I'm still eb@ying but I am struggling with other areas of my life to keep on track. I'm just getting fed up with a few things tbh. My new boss has become an @rsehole and work has been split into two camps: those with a brown nose and those with a pink nose. You don't have to be a genius to work out which camp I am in. I can't really whinge about it on here. I am very careful about what I type in this public forum but I just don't want to take the risk by letting off steam properly.

Anyway, I am off work for a week and a bit and I fully intend to get back on track. My c@shback FINALLY materialised and I stuck it in my second savings account (I had to take money out of there to pay my gas and electricity bill and I must put it back)

Oh yeah, I got another Amaz0n voucher today which is good. I have spent some of my Amaz0n vouchers but I have £15 saved and I am verrry close to another one. And, I sold two books on [EMAIL="eb@y"]eb@y[/EMAIL] as well

Amended my sig to reflect yesterday's eBay and voucher. Have enough points for another £25 worth of vouchers but I will leave them there for a while. Today is my third NSD on the trot and we are having a lazy weekend so I should have a few more *touch wood*

Got a tenner (in paypal) from a survey site. On one hand, it is great but, on the other, I have to start all over again!!

Well, my darlings, today is my sixth NSD on the trot. I have to go shopping tomorrow as I have to stock up on bleach and mayo and a few other bits and pieces. I also have to post an ebay parcel.

As well as needing to list more things on eb@y, I have very little to last the next 20 days until payday. I have about £60 and will have to buy petrol at some point. I'm fed up with being a fully fledged member of Skintzville!

I need 470 points on sw@gbucks to gain my first p@ypal tenner. I have gained 138 points today (and it is only lunchtime) and, with any luck, I should have enough points by the end of the week. I'm switching to p@ypal for a while as I have been given the opportunity to gain more amaz0n vouchers on the th1nktank. I have been doing surveys for about three years now and it is only now that they seem like a jolly good way to raise a few extra much needed funds.

Well done on all the NSDs.

Thanks dearie!

I am in desperate need of some sunshine. Where is the sun?! Ohh I want to bathe in its delicious warmth and wear pretty sandles and fret (ironically) about the sun drying out my hair to a crisp.

Instead, I am cold, miserable and craving stodge.

Well, I am in a funk. I bought lots of fresh fruit today and done some exercises to help cleanse my body and soul. I just feel yukky. I bet that I am coming down with a nasty bug

ANYWAY! My six day no spend bender has come to an end. I have also booked two mystery shopping gigs. I haven't done any in such a long time. This is because there haven't been any in my area - boo!

I must list more tat on ebay today and do some more exercises on my x trainer. I'd love to go to the swimming pool but I can't face going when it is that time of the month. I know that most women are very happy to swim when they are on but the thought of the blue string accidentally popping through when I spy some hunk by the poolside just fills me with horror. Jeez, no!!! Wrong!!!!!!!

I am still poorer than a church mouse but I have requested £30 of vouchers from my surveys and [EMAIL="sw@gbucks"]sw@gbucks[/EMAIL] today. I'm hoping to request another fiver tomorrow.

I have also rocked up 8NSDs this month. Tomorrow will be a spendy day because I have to buy a birthday gift (I am not spending any more than a tenner) and I need some bits n bobs for lunches.

I listed several things on ebay today and I shall list a few more tomorrow as well.

Have just redeemed another Amaz0n voucher and will update my signature in a minute. I have amassed £30 from there since I joined on Star Wars day - guddo! I have my eye on a new pair shoes but I need £15 more in vouchers first.

I have a bidder on ebay and two watchers. I have ten days listings so have another nine days to go. I must list a few more things today.

Just updated my signature and it looks as though I need to adjust my goals. Once my CC has gone, I can concentrate on the £366 challenge. I haven't done much with it which is a shame really.

ETA: Ended up spending an eye wateringly high £70 but a tenner of that was on a birthday gift and another £20 was on cat litter which will last a good few months. The remaining £40 was on groceries and packed lunch and should last a while as well. I hope so because payday is in 13 days and counting.

In better news, I found £10.10 sitting in my [EMAIL="T0pC@shback"]T0pC@shback[/EMAIL] account. This was something that I was not expecting because the last time I checked it was confirmed at £0.00. It is on its way to my paypal account as I type. I will only add this to my signature once it is in my hands.

I will also have another [EMAIL="Sh0pnSc@n"]Sh0pnSc@n[/EMAIL] voucher on Monday and my [EMAIL="sw@gbucks"]sw@gbucks[/EMAIL] account is growing nicely after I claimed £15 last night and this morning. Guddo!!!

The money from t0pcashback is sitting in my [EMAIL="payp@l"]payp@l[/EMAIL] account but it hasn't cleared because it is in the form of an echeque. It should clear on the 22nd so I will wait until then until adding it to my signature.

I am really struggling with my reduced wages. My second job should be starting soon - in the next couple of weeks. I feel as though I have been waiting forever.

I have cancelled my Sky account so I should be £20 a month better off but, my pet insurance has increased and the increase will swallow up the sky cancellation. Urgh! Sometimes I really do feel like I am treading water.

As of date, I have had 10 NSDs out of a possible 17. Out of the seven spending days I am already £200 overdrawn. This is ridiculous. My overall debt level is coming down but too slowly for my liking.

I have two more car insurance payment months and then I have two free months. This means that I will have an extra £142 to throw at the debt problemo.

Okay. Payday is a week tomorrow. I have £26.40 in my purse and no petrol in my car. I will put £15 in tomorrow which leaves me with £11.40. Right, hopefully, I will be ok. Fingers crossed.

Just requested another sh0pnscan voucher. This means that I have, for the second time, beaten my goal. Fab! I'll increase it again but by £100 this time.

I have worked out why things have felt financially tight this month - I forgot that I paid two mega bills at the start of the month. Doh! Thank-you spending diary! Speaking of spending, I have to nip to the supermarket today for a few essentials and list a few more things on eb@y. My sales aren't doing too well at the minute. Fingers crossed they will pick up soon.

I should have enough points to redeem another sw@gbucks voucher tomorrow (my sixth since May 4th). I am verrry glad that I don't use my real email addy because the competition thingys on there have sent me nothing but spam. I deleted 154 emails from them today - urghh!

ETA: I remembered that I only have a tenner to last until Monday so today became a much needed NSD.

ETA2: I have my enough points for my next [EMAIL="sw@gbucks"]sw@gbucks[/EMAIL] voucher. Woohoo! Will update my signature now.
