can i ask how you get the nectar points for searches?

If you go to the Nectar homepage and scroll down there's instructions on downloading their search toolbar. It's not a massive earner, 1 point per 2 searches; which I think is 0.5p, and there's a limit to 50 points (25p) per month.

MiB - I envy you, that's a much better size mortgage than ours! Best of luck :-)

Nice to read that someone else also tries to get cashback on work travel/accommodation bookings!

Thanks MRN - the train tickets I originally purchased with TCB weren't used as the meeting was cancelled last minute. So, I get to book them AGAIN with another 6% cashback and club card points. What a pity...:D

If only my boss needed me to book international flights and 5 star hotels:rotfl:

A quick update....as there's no OPing for a couple of weeks until I can do the pre-payday account sweep, and I'm twiddling my thumbs in anticipation of March payday, I've been looking at other money creation options.

I've signed up for a market research interview next week which will pay £30 and I've been through the loft and located loads of books and CDs which will net me about £50 from zapper.
Also, sold another book on ebay, bringing my total to £8.05.

I'm a step closer to selling my car. Its uber-clean, has lots of photos and is currently being "marketed" by my friend-the-mechanic in his garage.

Once sold I will de-register as a "car renter" on whipcar and register as "car rentee". Is that the right way around?
That means the same level of flexibility for a fraction of the price. (i.e. no tax, permits, MOT, service, etc etc)

Not so good news is that I'm about to be hit with a chiropractor bill. Just a small back injury from years of running on an old injury. Apparently its best to fix it now while I'm still young rather than wait (even) longer to deal with it and risk a more significant impact in later life. I've negotiated 1/3 off the price by block booking but the CC is going to see a bit of action. (just think of the club card points....)


Hope everyone is having a good day - and defrosted after yesterday's dip in temperature.

So I'm not the only one having a mid-month crisis because there's no money flow!

elantan

it's like the long long plod till pay day so we can overpay isnt it? i feel like i am wishing my life away sometimes

Maybe_its_because

At least we've got eachother's diaries to keep us occupied (and out of the shops)

We need some mid-month incentives as OPing seems to only be entertaining us during the first and last week of the month....

elantan

well i have to admit i do most of my oping in the middle of the month ... so i have two weeks either side of one day lol ... i think i need to get me a mountain of coins to sit on and count i mustve used a couple of trees worth of paper so far this year with my dream projections :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

deff need a game to come up with though ... although today i did play buy 30 lots of butter from tesco ( cause it was at £1 instead of £1.60) so that let me play with the numbers again for a while

After all that mystery shopping I don't have the time or the will to do clothes shopping! Even though I have allowed myself one treat per month, I still can't get excited about a shopping trip like I used to! I have £30 in vouchers waiting to be spent but no motivation. It's sooo not like me.

elantan

i so hate going clothes shopping, i think it's cause i am 5ft1 and really fat, it is so not fun for me

where are your vouchers for MRN?

Maybe_its_because

I would gladly volunteer my time to shop for you.

Carrying out shopping duties, particularly when it's not my money is my specialist subject... Xmas/birthday present shopping for parents, parents-in-law, on boyfriends behalf, work gifts, etc....the list is endless.:drool:
