So tired tonight so I'll catch up with diaries tomorrow.

Monday
* £9.14 top up groceries at the farm shop
* £2.23 payment to Nati0nwide CC
* 190SB earned
* VO survey
!
Tuesday
* £3.60 car park
* £1 on a bottle of water. Annoyed I left my water bottle at work and I needed a drink to get me through a meeting
* £8.45 on groceries at T3sco and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt. Also got a 50p off voucher next time I buy an item and I entered a the survey on the receipt for 25 clubc@rd points and the chance to win £1000
* £5.55 in H0me Barg@ins for a few household bits and some food
* 690SB earned. Yes you read that right. 690! :T It was from a few surveys that don't credit straight away. Nice little brucie bonus. I've gone straight past the £10 voucher and I'm only about 350SB from the £15 voucher! I really could do with the cash so I might ask around friends and see if I can buy them stuff from Am@zon in exchange for cash.
* PA survey
* VO survey

Right, a good days work! Off to Bedfordshire! Night

In 7 minutes its 8 days for me! It feels like its come round so quick! I'll be going to my brothers straight after work on payday so I won't be able to fiddle with YNAB as much as I want. I will update on the app though. :T

Ooh I'll check that page out.

Will you get paid on the Monday then? I'm normally paid on the 26th unless it's the weekend so luckily, it's the 25th for me :T

We're nearly there.......payday is coming :T:beer:

Still tired.......roll on le weekend.! :T

Today
* £20 on fuel
* £11.90 from TCB credited and paid straight to Nati0nwide CC. I'm now sub £100......well I will be when it credits.
* Pinec0ne survey - my first! With them anyway......pretty experienced with the old surveys now :rotfl:
* 430SB. Blimey! Redeemed another £15 Am@zon voucher and I've got 189SB towards the next voucher. I restarted sw@gbucks exactly 1 month ago and in that time, I've earned £40 in vouchers. There were a few little bonuses but mostly it's been slogging my guts out filling in surveys. Kind of worth it now though!!:T:j:beer:

Thanks Belle, I'm chuffed with it. I'm filling in so many surveys I've got no time to spend the vouchers :rotfl:

Blimey, it's been a week since I last logged in. Still haven't had a chance to catch up with reading diaries but I will. I love reading other people's debt slaying journeys.

Thursday
* NSD
* PA survey
* VO survey
* 225SB earned
* £30 cashback credited from my energy switch via the MSE cheap energy club,!paid straight to Nati0nwide CC. Didn't think it would come that quick, really chuffed with it

Friday
* £3.30 on a disappointingly tasteless chicken and bacon caesar wrap and some fruit from the c0-0p
* £18.76 on a few groceries and some cakes that I took to my friends house on Saturday
* Receipts scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* 102SB earned - slim pickings after a good few days!!

Saturday
* £20 fuel
* Spent a lovely day with friends, chilling and chatting
* 89SB earned

Sunday

* 3 PA surveys
* 87SB earned

Monday
* NSD
* 101SB earned

Tuesday
* £24.81 on groceries including some posh beers for my dad's birthday pressie.
* £32.64 transferred to Nati0nwide CC, from holding account money. Balance is now £30 and will be cleared Friday which is paydayyyyyyyyy :T
* 2 PA surveys
* 165SB earned. I've struggled a bit the last few days to get to the daily goal. But I've done it. I think the sw@gbucks people are thinking 'ey up, this girl is cleaning us out. Let's slow her down' haha. Not sure I'll be able to do the monthly goal thing as I'm away at the weekend, although I'm going to ask my brother if I he minds me ignoring him for a bit so I can do some surveys. Obsessed much! ;):o

Today
* £10.33 on ice cream and magazines. I bought 2 copies of Instyl3 magazine as per the mse email for some N3al's Y@rd body lotion. I never would have seen this in the shops and wouldn't have spent £7.98 so in this case, my money saving ways have cost me money!!! Haha
* 264SB earned
* VO survey. Only 80p away from redeeming £45 of Am@zon vouchers. I might get some other vouchers for clothes instead but I haven't decided yet.

I'm back from my weekend away at my brothers and I've had a really lovely, relaxing time. Been a bit indulgent so lets just say I've been a bit of a spendy spenderson! :rotfl:

Thursday
* £20.15 groceries and a few things to take to my brothers for the weekend. 18p off my next shop and receipt scanned on checkoutsm@rt
* Youg0v survey
* 161SB earned

Friday - the weekend begins........:)
* £3.70 on lunch
* £13.98 on a few more bits of food and drink for the weekend
* £35.60 on fuel

Saturday
* £2.15 in C0sta, met some old friends for a catch up which was great
* £3.99 on a new 2016 diary
* £4 on some makeup
* £14.40 on drinks and snacks in C0sta for me, brother and SIL
* £14.20 on some bits and bobs for dinner, totally unnecessary really, but we indulged in some tasty snacky bits instead of a proper dinner
* £28.50 on a new dress in D3benhams. It was 25% off so could have been worse :T:o

Today
* £14 on a new cardigan to go with my new dress and some new knickers!
* £14.50 on some groceries for the week. Shouldn't need much else I think this week. Plus I'm still full from all the stuff I've eaten so I won't start eating again until at least Wednesday! :rotfl:

Definitely been spendy but could have been worse, and I've had a really lovely time. It's done me the world of good and I don't regret it. YNAB has been updated :eek:

I've not done any surveys this weekend, and I'm not doing any tonight. Need a wee break from it. I'm off work this week so no doubt will find time to do some money making surveys, and I've got some clothes to list on eb@y. This week will fly!!!

Well as long as you've had a good time and you're keeping track of what you're spending. We can't live like this every single day. A bit of a one off is absolutely fine. Pleased you've enjoyed.
