    Just finished a survey from yoursaypays, which took me over the £20 threshold, so have requested a cash out to paypal which should arrive within 30 days.

    I've also hit redemption on valued opinions, but not sure what voucher to go for.

    Redone my whatsthecost snowball again....

    According to that it'll take me 97 months to be debt free paying the minimums each month - but I combined the total for my MBNA card rather than splitting it down in to the rate for life and interest free balances. Am hoping the smaller than expected interest being added each month will bring that total down quicker to give me a psychological boost.

    Have also added some more books to greenmetropolis, and listed on facebook, none of them were worth adding to amazon, and am thinking about giving readitswopit a try - although that won't do me any favours for the clear out attempts!

    Desk gone. Helped my step dad load it in to the van earlier.

    Thought it might be a good idea to check what I'd been paid in my final salary - more than I thought but then I remembered how much overtime I did....

    So transferred the cost of an OU course I need to repeat over to my spendy account and have registered for the course.

    Sadly also woke up this morning with a face full of pimples which is going to be fun to cover up when I go in to town tomorrow to visit the temp agencies.

    No progress today, face is still full of spots and I couldn't find any smart clothes which didnt need washing/ironing. So have done some more odd bits of sorting while pointedly ignoring the two suitcases I'm yet to touch other than while rooting for clothes this morning!

    Have requested a BACS payout of just over £10 from opinionbar though after finishing a survey this afternoon.

    I know the feeling on the spots! I've got a very pretty pink patch of them on my chin :o I always wonder if I'll ever grow out of them, having wrinkles AND spots is just plain unfair!

    Mine are just hormonal, so will be cleared up in a few days as long as I can resist the urge to pick at them.

    Still achieving nothing, opened a browser window with greenmetropolis to list some more books several hours ago and still haven't logged in to the site.

    Looks like my car insurance cash back has been added to my tcb account, I wasn't sure if it would track or not as I ended up going back to my old insurer - but not a direct renewal as I knew I was moving out of my flat 4 days after my original insurance expired. So thats another £24 to await going payable.

    Not done much in the way of unpacking again, went through my wardrobe and have two bin bags of old clothes to get rid of will probably drop them off at one of the charity clothes banks when we go to the supermarket over the weekend.

    Couple of mystery shops done, and some field agent work done too - might pick up a couple more f.a jobs tomorrow if they're still there as am passing the sites.

    One of the mystery shops is passed already but as its Market Force I'm still waiting for the silly queries, but that one at least will cover the reimbursements on both of the one's I've done for them so far so not too urgent for the other one to be passed for the same payrun, although obviously it would be nice if it is!

    Ohh just checked my email properly and I've won another book from goodreads, so another one am looking forward to reading and reviewing.

    Which has spurred me on and I've got another ten books listed on greenmetropolis, as well as on the local facebook selling page.
