    I haven't done a DY review since Sunday, have recieved lots of return rates though so points are over £16. Submitted S&S reciepts, so have £10.50 worth of points with them. Nectar is back up to £15.80.

    I need to get a new Home Insurance quote in the next week.

    Have found a washing machine for BTL, so will order it through Quidco.

    STILL waiting or Musc Magpies money to come through, am hoping for it today so it can go on April's OPs.

    I desperately need a haircut but can't seem to find a hairdresser who actually does a job worth the price they charge. My last few have been extortionate and not really looked like it's even been cut.

    Hi Beckyy - have you looked on Group on for the hair cut? there are lots usually offering on my local one so might be worth a go. Of course that means you have to trust a stranger with your hair :eek:
    Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
    Savings: £3k
    Aim: 100k by Dec 2021

    Thank you both, will definitley look into both those options! I was uite dissaponted last time I went to a salon, paid over £30+ and probably could have done the same myself with a pair of scissors and posh shampoo :(.

    The £13.70 from Music Magppie came through today, so have OP'd it and checked the mortgage balance: £97,465.23.

    I ordered the wasing machine for BTL - £5 quidco cashback tracked.

    I need to re-work our monthly bill allowance, as we are spending more on pet food. The cats are having a lot more wet food and it's almost doubled what we're spending on them. Once I've recalculated it I'll order a few months worth through Amazon Subcr+Sa, as Quidco are offering 5% cashback on Pet Supplies at the minute.

    Have been trying to think seriously about a 5 year plan too, really need to think of some milestones to aim for, and once BTL is sorted I think we'll be a bit cleared on the future plan :)

    Home Insurance is done.

    We cancelled our renewal, and took out a new policy with the same company for £30 less, so have updated bill account. We should also get £22.50 Quidco cashback for the new policy :D

    Have bought just over 4months worth of cat food through amazon subcr&sv, if that tracks on Quidco before the 9th I'll also get the £5 bonus for making 5 transactions through faster paying merchants.

    Q Mee seemed to like my home insurance searches and I'm up to 36p now.

    Desperately need to get some housework done, also still have to walk the dog and try and fit a DY review in. Zzzz

    £5 standing order OP'd.

    Our order from local organic company arrived this morning, a couple of subs and one which OH won't like, but it's a chance to find something new.

    Feeling quite motivated today so will try and get round to BTL after work and do some bits and pieces.

    I treated myself to a new pair of jeans and a top yesterday, will transfer the money from clothes fund. There's no good offers on groupon locally, but I have the leaflet or a local college and a workmate said she gets her haircut there for half the price I've paid and really likes it so I'm definitely going to book an appointment - will hopefuly save me a fortune!

    I've fallen a bit behind with DY, but should only need a couple more reviews to cash out £20 voucher so will press on with it over the weekend :D

    Sh&Sc receipts are uploaded for the week, just need to plug in my clicker and that will be done.

    OH has picked up some extra work this weekend, so extra £ :)

    The pet food from amazon tracked so we got a £5 bonus for making 4 transactions with faster paying mechants.

    Have done a couple more VO surveys, for what it's worth... on £2.50 at the mo, so will maybe be able to cash out in a years time :o

    Today I need to still:

    - Get some things done at BTL
    - Walk dog
    - Do some washing/housework
    - Write a DY review (1-2 more and I'll be able to cash out :D)

    I hope everybody had a good weeekend, have work later on today but enhanced pay so very worth it :D

    Only 1 thing on eBay sold for a couple of pound, and I cashed out Q Mee just to test it, so just uder £3 OP'd from them.

    I'm just writing the DY review I've been meaning to do for the last few days, hopefully this should bring me just up at the £20 for an amazon voucher. I think I'll carry on with it after though :)

    I've lots of little bits and pieces to get done today, so aiming for a NSD.
