Scuba's Second try - Sink or Swim!

scubaangel

More overtime booked, so have my washing in the machine so it can be done and hopefully dry by morning.

Cashed out $1 via one of the apps I downloaded to my phone this evening, been using the app regularly for a couple of weeks, so with any luck if I can keep using it I can cash out for higher amounts now I know they do pay (there are $5 and $10 options for fewer points per $).

Oddly the balance transfer has failed but should be able to redo it once the new credit card arrives.

Got my electricity bill this morning its around £40 less than I had estimated - and the last meter readings I submitted were only 2 weeks ago so should be reasonably accurate, but will submit the current readings when I get home on Sunday night and pay Monday morning.

Currently at work hiding in the computer corner waiting to be collected for a trip to the south coast, am hoping my lift arrives soon as there are two jobs on Field Agent I'd like to do on the way but dont want to reserve them until we're setting off in case of traffic.

Got the PIN for the new credit card but no sign of the card yet, soon as that turns up I can get the online account set up and shred it.

New card delivered and activated, cant remember the username I set up for it so havent been able to log in to the internet banking to retry the balance transfer but as I've only just set it up they cant/wont send a reminder, so will try again tomorrow then call over the weekend if I still can't get it sorted.

Sold an old rug this morning via an fb selling page, was paid with £2 coins so have popped them in to my sealed tin.

And spent most of the afternoon out mystery shopping/auditing most of it was paperwork free so done and submitted whilst I was out and about, just got 2 sets of data to input and email to the client company.

Had an email confirming my invitation to a blog forum for which I shall be paid so looking forward to getting started on that (and then paid at the end naturally).

My sister has sent me an amazon gift voucher for my birthday so have ordered a cover, the amazon own lighted leather covers are really boring colours so have ordered a generic one, will have to buy batteries for it but I don't often use the light so shouldn't be too much hassle.

Kindle cover arrived and was a terrible fit - requested a return on Sunday night and am still waiting for a response, need to call amazon to chase it up as it was an outside seller rather than amazon themselves who dispatched.

Paid my electic bill next one is due in mid July, so hopefully it'll be less than this one (albeit the only real saving would be on the heating and I've used that as little as possible!).

Just for confirmation I am still alive....

Yesterday was the annual drinking session at Twickenham for the Babcock Trophy - aka the Army vs Navy boozefest.

Was meant to be coming home - ended up in a Rock Club in central London, then forced one of the guys we met up with (friends of friends) to let me share his hotel room. Was woken up at 6am this morning by to find him attempting to make a brew - lack of sleep and lots of alcohol meant it was safer to not let him near boiling water!

Quick round up of money I have/am waiting for.

£15 amazon toluna - will arrive sometime before Christmas if I'm lucky.
£25 pureprofile cash out.
£50 cheque recieved needs paying in to the bank for the blog study I took part in.
£20 cheque from mutualpoints should be on the way too.

Am less than £1 from the payout level on onepoll and £2 short on newvistalive so am checking both sites like a loon in hope of finding those last elusive credits.

scubaangel

Can add to the above list of money which I'm waiting for

£40 onepoll, requested via paypal.

Now down to 1 point from cashing out on newvistalive too.

Have also dragged out my old running trainers and done a couple of experimental short footpath runs, so far so good, my knees and ankles feel fine so just need to make sure not to run on tarmac since I guess it was the impact causing the issue, should mean I get a few more months out of my trainers so can be saving up to buy a new pair later in summer.

Finally hit the magical number on newvistalive too so am now waiting for £50.25 from them, but I guess that'll arrive middle of next month now.
