    I think the yougov comes in spurts, I had none for ages and then in the space of about 18 months I have had enough for two payouts!

    Thanks KW, hopefully I'll get some more surveys soon. Once OH is back working I should get some quiet time for my second job. I've set up a new snowball, so its nice seeing my DFD come down slowly but surely!

    Morning everyone, last day before new job and second last pay. Trying to put away as much as I can before new job but not easy. No pay in new job till the end of june. I have a few birthdays this month and next month but have put away some presents already, just a few things to get.

    It'll be a busy weekend, got lots to do. I would like to get a new top for starting my new job. I know I shouldn't but going to pick something from one of the supermarkets etc so it shouldn't be too expensive.

    Hi HAW, it's pretty awful. Most of the people aren't that friendly. One person pulled my chair away (to sit on so they could talk to person behind me) just as I was sitting down. I ended up on the floor. They didn't help me nor say sorry. There's nowhere on the floor we're on that you can eat your lunch without disturbing people. Everyone else is in little groups, tried talking to people and just get ignored.

    No I really don't like it. OH is not off this weekend, he's so tired. Came in and went straight to sleep.

    Think of it as a means to getting debt free and in a few months start looking around for an alternative
