Hi MW, thanks for stopping by
. When I'm working from home I tend to have the home PC on in the background and do surveys when I'm on con calls, which is for hours at a time. I also do the ironing when on some calls. I must admit I don't think either of us are as diligent as we were because the payouts were so slow.
Hope all is well with you.

Thanks US, I wasn't certain whether we would get the total amount back or whether they would take a cut?

I get the £3 paid into my PP a/c in full. No percentage cuts like when you get paid through ebay. HTH.Mortgage: @ Feb. 2007: £133,200; Apr. 2011: £24,373; May 2011: £175,999; Jun 2013: ~£97K; Mar. 2014 £392,212.73; Dec. 2015: £327,051.77; Mar. 2016: ~£480K; Mar. 2017 £444,445.74

Hi US, that sounds like an alternative plan in that case. Mr T had seen a mail through offering this as an alternative, but considering how money grabbing they are, we both thought there would a sudden Admin charge appear.
Almost the weekend. :T

Just another Paypal tip, if you ever need a friend to pay you money via Paypal, ask them to 'gift' it over - means you don't get charged rip off fees.1

Morning, I've just made an account tidy OP, 4p, that's bound to speed the MF date up :T
Have a fab Friday and to those with wine in the fridge, get the headache tablets ready for the morning.

I did it! I've read your diary through from the beginning and I am thoroughly inspired by what you are doing. What energy and determination! I had tears of laughter running down my face reading about the party everyone had at your house when you were on hols. It sounded more fun than some real ones I've been to!
I am starting to save towards a house (ideal house = tiny house with huge garden and a pond). I don't want a mortgage, I want to buy it outright. So now I'm squirrelling away everything I can and I love to read about the ways you are pulling money in from every financial nook and cranny you can find. Like you I'm keeping my goal a secret as friends and family would just laugh and say I haven't a hope in Hades. One friend inherited a house from her father and some money too. Now she is having to downsize as she has spent the money, maxed out on credit cards for a posh outdoor hot tub, an indoor sauna, big garden swings etc and she can no longer sustain the lifestyle. She's the very person who would laugh the most at me.
So if you don't mind I'd like to subscribe to your dynamic Diary. You are a Divine Inspiration.

Hi Tilly,

Nevermind wine... I have my gloves laid out... vacuum cleaner, cloths, bin bags at the ready... I feel a Friday evening blitz of the housework coming on!!!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.1 -
Oh Poppy, you brought tears to my eyes
How on earth did you manage to read all my diary - you deserve a gold star :rotfl:
I wish you luck with your plans. Check out the new Mfi3 which Financial Bliss has set up. This covers people with mortgages and also those saving to buy if I remember correctly.
Yep the party was funny and you should have seen the mess :eek::eek:
