Ah, a holiday coming up, perfect!! Enjoy, you have earned it. Being away from work will do you good
Excellent stuff.

Look at all those surveys, wow! You practically are a professional survey filler inner! Sexy job title too!

So what are your plans for the time off?

Oh yes, I can't wait. A whole week.......9 days with the weekends :T

Haha I might get myself a little badge printed with that job title :rotfl: Maybe a personalised polo shirt too

Well, I'm going to my brothers and sister in laws for the 1st weekend where I'll hopefully also catch up with some old school friends and then I'll probably have a day in Wales with my parents at some point and maybe see some other friends. I'm quite happy just to potter a bit at home too I know it'll fly by :D

Day off tomorrow and it's happy new car day to me too

Today
* £2 on lunch. I only said yesterday that I always take lunch to work. Well today.....I forgot! Jinxed meself! :rotfl:
* £5 diesel. Gutted I had to put more money seeing as the car goes back tomorrow but I wouldn't have made it home otherwise
* Receipts scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* £45 on professional car valet. Already had the cash for this :A
* 270SB earned
* £117.66 on house insurance for the year . Bit more than I paid last year but I did it through Nati0nwide who gave me a 20% discount for being a customer plus a £50 Am@zon voucher so taking that into account, it was a better deal. I shall miss getting a meerkat though! :rotfl:
* £2.01 payment to Nati0nwide CC
* Cashed out £21.05 to payp@l from PA
* Changed my bank details on TCB and once it's verified, I'll cash out £11.90 to my bank
* Both of these will be paid to the Nati0nwide CC which will take it under £100 :j:T
* Opened some more savings accounts with Nati0nwide - love the fact they can be renamed so it makes it easier to transfer money about.
* Updated YNAB......I love it!!

Right......and so to bed........zzzzzzz

That sounds like a really good, productive day. Enjoy the new car.

Woo hoo to the new car!!! Jealous! X

Thanks guys. My new car is lovely although I've gone from a diesel to a petrol and I've lost count of the amount of times I've stalled it :rotfl:

What's this? What's this? It's only blimming Friday! That's what it is!!! :T:j:beer:

Wednesday
* £24.57 top up groceries and a few things on offer and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* Youg0v survey
* 234SB earned
* £21.05 landed in my payp@l from PA so been paid straight to Nati0nwide CC

Yesterday
* £3.94 on cat litter and pick'n'mix and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* Applied to join pinec0ne. I love me surveys I do! :rotfl:
* 201SB earned which took me to 1694SB, enough for a £10 Am@zon voucher only 8 days after cashing out a £15 voucher, which I'm still waiting for. And a banner thing flashed up telling me I qualified for a 1000SB bonus when redeeming a gift card. So I've earned £25 of Am@zon in the last few weeks and I'm over half way to another £10 voucher. :money:

Today
* £25 fuel and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* VO survey
* 226SB earned

I've wanted a Fitbit for a while which I might get with my Am@zon vouchers but if I continue to do all these surveys while sitting on my bum, it won't register a damn step! I shall think about that then.......:p:D

I got my lovely new car and even better, it came with half a tank of petrol! I've moved £15 out of my fuel budget and into my holding account on YNAB for now.

I had some good and bad news about my previous car. The good news is that it's only going to cost me £300 now, instead of £600 which was the worst case scenario However, I've got to pay it in 2 installments when I was sort of hoping for 10! Oh well. I appreciate that my work have been generous and paid some more of the cost but I'm a bit gutted that debt repayments will suffer for the next couple of months. I'll be able to cover the minimums and maybe a bit more but not as much as I want to pay. At least it will be done and dusted then I can move on :T

Have a brilliant weekend. I'll be mostly filling in surveys.........;):D:o

Orange_Ena

Another weekend flown by. It's been nice though, I've seen my sister and my niece and nephew and been out for a free lunch :T

Yesterday
* £16.07 on special cat food for my beautiful cat
* £19.21 on groceries including a few extra treats for visiting family and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* VO survey
* PA survey
* 82SB earned

Today
* Youg0v survey
* VO survey
* 100SB earned
* Withdrew £10 for lunch out with my visiting family but my parents paid. I'll put that in my savings pot for now:)

Not a lot else to report. Still waiting for the TCB money to hit my account ready for payment to Nati0nwide. As ever, just waiting for payday..........12 days to go! :beer::j:T

I need to go through the house again looking for stuff to eb@y. I've got so many things I want to save up for, once this blimming debt is history. Keep on eh!

I'm on the countdown to payday too. It's been a tight month so far, and still more than a fortnight until I get paid... But closer to DFD...
And a free lunch is always a bonus!

We're a a couple of days closer since you wrote that. Hope the rest rolls round just as quickly!
