Ecoelle's MFW Diary

Hi, have a fab weekend and wonderful news. Tilly x

ecoelle

Thanks guys, as i was saying to my mum, you can't let these things rule your life, i have had other major illnesses and i've survived them, and moved on and adapted my thinking and behaviour around them so this would be just another challenge:)

Of course i had a major wobble when i first went to the doctors, but once you get over the initial shock you go onto auto survival, and now i'm ok anyway so glad i didn't worry too much.

Thanks NP, i was a good girl this morning too, and rang Post Office and tesco and cancelled my CC's. Neither of them had a balance i only took them because the Tesco one was 0% for 16months, had it since our wedding when we needed a bit more flexibility, and the POst office one was one i applied for when Topcashback were offering £50 for accepted card applications. But as we will be looking for a new mortgage deal after christmas i thought it might be good to get rid of some of the unnessesary credit cards and just keep the ones we actually use month to month. So keeping the co-op and Santander, also just got an argos one as it was £20 cashback, so once that clears i'll be cancelling that one too.

Hows the flying going? the lists are so helpful aren't they!

Well done for your money making ways

ecoelle

Not so much flying this week:( going to try for some tomorrow afternoon while little one is sleeping, not able to motivate myself today as was so tired, we've all been poorly and not getting a lot of sleep so just trying to get my energy levels back up:)

Money making not so good today, done a couple or surveys, why is it when you only need a couple of pounds to cash out the surveys seem to tail off?

ammonite

Oh flying can't be done when people are poorly, during weeks where people are poorly you need to just look at the pretty multicoloured lists and think how nice it is that they will be there next week too

I agree about the surveys tailing off near a payout. I was literally at the end of my tether with Onepoll and their ruddy £40 payout. I was 15p off and got screened out of about 10 !!
