    it must be hard though knowing that you can earn money going to uni but feeling you need to spend the time in the house to get things organised ..i think i wouldve said yes as well ....maybe in a years time when things settle down you'll ba able to say no but for now i understand the need...hey we'll need to have a discussion on the best ways to so no then wont we ...i know i struggle with it ...two wee words n and o but try putting them together and for some reason they come out yes

    The work at home is also going to be earning me money, so really I should have said no to the Uni. Too late now though!!

    Security clearance for the new job is taking ages to come through - heaven only knows when I am starting there - it is so difficult not knowing if I am going to be earning anything or not, so another reason really for accepting a day's work while it was there. I can certainly fill my time before I start the new job, but that doesn't necessarily pay the bills does it? ho hum!

    On the good news front, I have just ordered another pigsback voucher - that takes my total up to £50 this year. I have been ordering clothes vouchers so I can go shopping for new work clothes without feeling guilty. Hurrah for piggy points!!

    I am not entirely sure what it is that is taking so long, but I have let them have everything they have asked for so there is nothing I can do except sit and wait! Either that, or they have finally found out about the 27 people I hacked up and put in the freezer.....

    I was just about to order a Pigsback voucher too funnily enough, but the Boots vouchers seem to have disappeared....hope they come back soon, I'm running short of nappies!

    I deliberately didn't order John Lewis or Boots vouchers, because of the uncertainty of getting them.

    I opted for the Wallis etc ones - that way I can justify clothes shopping and get a treat at the same time! Also, they are always in stock, so never have to wait for them. I have been saving them up and can go shopping later in the week hopefully!

    I only get the 5pts a day, don't generally do any more than that, but that is perhaps because I don't try! It takes a while for them to build up, but I do get there eventually!

    i wasnt even getting them that's why i gave up it is worth your while doing it though £50 over the course of the year helps ...that and the daily click throughs for quidco ...if both you and hubby use quidco you can have enough to pay your t.v license every year i think that's worth it as that's one bill i hate well that and council tax
