Nectar points via adpoints (although now I've exhausted available videos - does anyone know how how often they update with new ones?)

it is supposed to be weekly.... but I hear it doesn't always reset to the maximum points they promise.

Arrgg!! My laptop is broken. I could cry. Haven't been online for a couple of days. It keeps turning itself off at the screen and has just come back on after 24 hours. Which means i can't get on here. Would like to buy a new one but you all know i'm skint and i have to pay the parents back for the car so no chance. Not sure what i'm gonna do now to be honest, but i'll come up with something.

REDOUBLE: Welcome back. I too have just returned a couple of months ago and get my head out of the sand. I started a diary too. I think only 2 people have read it, but it helped to get things on paper. I actually forgot all about it tho, so think once my computer has stopped playing games i'll try and get back into it! Anyway, just wanted to say welcome back, and lets hope we can both get ourselves sorted out

PS: No money made due to laptop.

Today should be fun. DH has his jobseekers interview after being made redundant. We also have to see about HB (You wouldn't believe the amount of paper in front of me). To top that off my "new" post-redundancy tax credit weekly amount went in this morning and is even less than we were told on the phone (tax credits were slashed because now not entitled to working tax credit as DH is unemployed yet we have childcare to pay for still - can't lose his place as when DH goes back to work, hopefully soon, I then can't work so we are no better off (plus he loves it)).

Will look for dropped winning lottery tickets on my three mile walk between the bus stop and the council offices this morning!


(I'm not really moaning, just frustrated. DH hates not working and we are a big step behind already as when he was made redundant his wages were frozen as the company went into administration so no pay and a long wait for redundancy. We just want to get back on top of things again)

How do you put nectar points up? when you spend them?

I used to add them when I spent them but I now add them as they appear on my account as I consider it 'money available' against my shopping and every time I hit £10 I take it off the bill.

With that in mind I have a not insignificant £33.53 in nectar points to add today as I bought some expensive items last month on my nectar credit card, and all the points from last month have been added. I really do need to get out more as I'm finding this very exciting.

Nicki Sue you seem to be facing things with such positivity and humour, I really hope your husband finds new work soon, I think you are perfectly entitled to moan! Be kind to yourself xxx good day.

Niikki-Sue you are not moaning. Just venting. And you are allowed to do that. if wr can't empathise then we are on the wrong board.

I think a few of us will find this diary helpful especially in the run upto the dreaded.C word.

Big hugs to everyone who needs them. Things do get better

No actual £££ for me to add today. I did cash out on Crowdology (who I LOVE - their surveys are pretty simple) but my Paypal doesn't have enough to put into my bank.

I managed to write a complaint email to Sainsbury's who didn't even apologise (the gist of it is that I spent an hour trying to pick something up from Click and Collect - 3 members of staff asked me if I was being seen to then walked away to "find someone") to me, so I wrote them another email saying it wasn't good enough. Will await the outcome of that.

And....that's it I've got a kidney infection at the moment and I've been busy with my Dad's birthday and lots of sleeping. I've got a £4 mystery shop tonight to complete. Nothing on eBay. Nothing on Facebook.

I better get a move on!
