Goodbye Mortgage - the beginning of the end!

Beckyy

My Sh&Sc clicker has arrived - it's much smaller than I expected! I did get a couple of bits of shopping today, but not sure whether to scan them or wait until I do a proper shop at the end of the weekend. I'll set it up this afternoon.

I haven't done todays dooyoo review yet, I have just done a very long survey on VO for a tiny £1 though. Wasn't planning to start doing them again, but might as well. Will try and fit the dooyoo review in before dinner.

The nectar points on my search bar are up to 29 at the moment, it's slow as sin but I guess they all ad up. Adpoints is on 67 points so far with no more ads available at the minute.

Stir fry tonight then HM chococlate brownies, and I want to try and do some more pilates. Must.Keep.Doing.It.

Stir Fry was lovely!

Sh&Sc have already credited my acount with £10 worth of points for uploading todays shop, that was so quick! I think I'm going to claim amazon vouchers, I just need to decide whether or not I'm going to use them for groceries and pet food, then OP the mortgage with the money I saved... or save them towards OHs birthday present. Was planning on getting him something quite expensive so if saved up vouchers between now and then it would make quite a difference.

Todays dooyoo review is done, I'm nearing £10 worth of points so the £20 cash-in isn't looking too far away now.

I've decided to save up any amazon vouchers towards OH's birthday present, but any other types will be spent and the equvalent OP'd.

Our home insurance renewal is due, I've had a quick scout around, and got a free quote with £1.75 quidco cashback which showed that we're not likely to get it for much cheaper, although there may be some cashback to have. My Amazon cashback for pet food has also tracked, so I'll have to remember to order more before the categories change next month. 5% isn't a bad deal, especially with 10% S&S discount!

MusicMagpie are finally paying up £13.70, should have in a day or two. Quidco cashback £2-3 is also on the way, so will OP both on arrival!

I've picked up a few extra hours at work today, so not alot of time to get things done at home. The washing is out though. Pasta and HM sauce for dinner with garlic bread. Nice and quick!

I've just been reading about Tesco's '150clubcard points when you spend £50 on a gift voucher' offer. I need to check it includes amazon vouchers, but we buy some groceries, some pet food and my parents pet food on amazon and usually spend £50 upwards a month, so it may be worth while me buying amazon vouchrs from Tesco and using them to pay, so I get 150 points for every £50 I buy. Ho hum.

Beckyy

Ugh, I overslept and feel groggy now! However, £2.69 quidco cashback recieved and OP'd. Hopefully MusicMagpe will cough up today and that will be OP'd too.

I've become a little bit dooyoo obsessed and am writing reviews ready to post up over the next few days, points are at about £11 now.

Nectar took away 500 points from me, they were a bonus for a purchase at amazon, it must have been because amazon stopped doing nectar points. It was £2.50 though

I have next months food budget ready. MUST. BE. FIRM.

Am going to meal plan for as far in advance as I can today.

Great going on DY, I was earning £20 a month but have slowed down a bit now. Annoying about the nectar points :mad:

Beckyy

I'm up to £13.50ish now, I know I'll have to slow down soon as I'm running out of things to review so will need to pace it if I want to carry on doing it. It's suprising how quick it adds up though, and the community aspect makes up half of it.

I've had an email from eBay about free isting this weekend so really can't avoid it anymore and will try and get some things tomorrow. I've no idea if they'll sell, but worth a try!

We had a take-away last night and the portions were stupidly big so we have some for lunch today too

£2.79 of 'tidying' OP'd. Now off to wash the dog, much to his disgust!

I did shop and scan 4 years ago but then me and my ex broke up so I went into quite a depressed state and had to move house etc so they kicked me off, it was such easy money though, tried reapplying but not had another invite, I miss scanning stuff it was fun lol!

Beckyy

I signed up about 18 months ago and I never expected to hear from them so was really suprised to get an invite - it went to my junk emails too so keep an eye on yours. I hope you get invited back!

I spent my £10 love2shop vouchers from Royal Mail survey in Matalan so have OP'd £10 from clothes budget.

DY points are over £15 now, hoping I'll get to £20 by next weekend!

Still haven't done eBay things, will have to try and get them done now before work!

I'd love to do S&S - I do nielsen grocery scanning which isn't as lucrative but is still interesting. You could always apply to nielsen lilmissmup - I've given the link to several people and they all got in.
