  • Thank You :)

    After the icecream and the sweets I feel much better, I have actually got my voice back :)

    The survey site I joined is a little confusing, I dont think I will do well! Will keep trying!

    My OH is helping out in his friends pub tonight and tomorrow, even though im on my own( as such) he is earing to pay off the cc :)
  • Glad your feeling better, mmmm ice cream!! I have done surveys in the past but never really got on with them, I was doing one for agggeeesss and i never even reached my £40 target lol

  • Thats great! Well if you have £20 which your entitled to you may aswell carry on and get your voucher :)

    The one ive recently joined is swagbucks but seems like people spend a while on there! Im not sure yet!

    Spend more or less last of food budget today, well my OH did and caved into buying sweets and pop from my 3 year old. Though they have had a day in due to me being not 100%. Not had to use cards though :)
  • Plan for the day
    1) Tidy house
    2) Ebay items
    3) find OH a way of making at least £30 a week from working at home to pay off credit card
  • Good Luck and Happy Sunday :) Xx

  • Hi ya, just thought I would join the conversation about surveys, I lost interest in surveys as I found them too time consumming. I do use swagbucks, Havent made a huge amount with it but it doesnt take any extra time from me as I would be using a search engine regardless so I might as well make free vouchers for doing what Im already doing. Using coupons can be a good way at buying things that you need that maybe you couldnt get at Aldi (my favourite shop). Have a look on the food and shopping forum for update coupons etc if this is something that interests you. :-) Good luck on your journey!
  • Thank you HomemadeHappiness! Happy Sunday to you!

    Thank you wannabeasupersaver! Very good point! Have you downloaded the toolbar or do you log into it and use the search engine that way? Im all for making extra money :)
    I will defiantly use coupons! just need to sort my printer to a certain place as too heavy for me to carry atm! Thank you for your tips!!
  • We have made a payment of £50 to the CC! minimun is apparantly £5!
    We will be making another payment soon, plus need to set up a standing order for it!

    My oh has been working all week and working sat and some fri nights at a friends pub until the early hours of a morning! Im nearly 36 weeks pregnant and think its time he stops! However all his wage from his main job goes on rent and bills so he still needs to make money each month!

    So housework... not going well as im not well but ive asked OH to help which he is!
    Ebay will be this evening...
