SB I ordered my previous one on the 31st December and ordered my latest one yesterday. So it's taking me about 8 days (although I skipped two days) to get my £5 vouchers, one a week I guess but I know some people get more than this and some get none. I try for at least one a month.

Should be a planned spend day today but all planned for so not an unexpected spend day at all As it's budgeted for it counts as a NSD in my little world.

Today I'm starting the FlyLady tasks, this flat is a mess and needs to be decluttered and cleaned pronto. The first task is to clean the sink until it is super duper shiny, then you shine it every night. Well that sounds fairly harmless. Does anyone elses OH's have an inability to use common sense with their dishwasher? I've just gone to put a glass in mine and found he's stacked tupperware on top of each other...how exactly will that get clean?! hmm???

I totally agree re the XY of the species and dishwashers.......mugs right side up, bowls that just catch the dirty water, plates stacked so closed no water can get inbetween..........it drives me WILD!

Hey All...

I'm really enjoying being a part of this thread - I really value the support and direction that I receive - and hopefully my contributions help inspire others too...

I'm posting this on all the threads I'm a part of - because I want to be totally honest - with everybody on this journey - but also with myself. I feel if I hide parts of me away - I'm giving them licence to get away with murder!!!

I've had a big blip this New Year and I'm getting back on track. However - please - I'd like to keep this personal journey (because I do go on and on!!!) separate from this thread... because a) I don't want my own personal battles to impact here and b) I need this space to help me stay positive and motivated and challenged.

If you want to have a read I'd welcome your advice and comments - or feel free to just lurk - but please PLEASE - post replies on my 'Debt Free Diary' page (Journey to The Emerald City) so we can keep this thread about debt busting!!!

You have all come to mean a lot to me and I want to be totally upfront and honest with you all.

Keep up the amazing work on meeting all your challenges... I'm not going anywhere and *WILL* end 2013 on top!!!

Hugs :grouphug:

Mayfair what do you search for on swagbucks? and can you use the same thing more than once a week to search for?

Hi everyone, well another nsd for me, but I will have to do some shopping Friday as I will need fuel, food and need to get weighed - going into B**ts on a weekly basis to see if my resolve to debt bust can be used to lb bust, if it doesnt then SW here I come:(:(really hoping I can do it this time as some of the money I could use for debt busting will have to be used for SW.

Hope everyone is still feeling positve and well, I cant believe I am so determined to crack it. Im back at work tomorrow for 5 days and Im making rice lunches (out of my cupboards) to take with me - I would never have done that before:D anyway off for a lurk about

Anything and everything! Got 9sb's for searching toast this morning. Guess what I had for brekkie?

I just find that the more you search the more you win so i do about 15 a day, spread through the day, one lot in morning, one at lunch at one in there evening. Sometimes get 2 wins, sometimes more. Can't really predict it.

I'm checking in early with my NSD today - 5th for this month so far. I have a meeting with my daughter's teacher later and then a committee meeting where I hope I'll get some money back from the expenses that I paid out in November! Should be some about 150 francs so very handy!

had a planned spend day...

well within budget although I did go into DP as I had a £10 voucher from a survey site last month. they do student discount on sale so bought a dressing gown to wear while working on assignments - because of the student discount I added some earring to the pile and paid the extra 20pence...

but I did get a dressing gown and three pairs of earrings (the 20pence can come out of my food budget)...

posted an ebay parcel will add the funds when I collect the cash from paypal (usually after they have left feedback)... awaiting payment from another but have a feeling they got a bit bidder happy and they may 'forget' to pay for the item...
