    Cracking thunderstorms here today. I stopped working on my laptop as it got so dark and I didn't want to use electric by switching the light on :rotfl: That's how frugal I am!

    Car sale aside, it's been a good work day and just one report to complete and email tomorrow and that's me done for a week off :D

    Financials:
    - bank account checked
    - freepostcodelottery (both) - checked
    - Nectar Adpoints - still on 62, nothing new to do
    - Nectar Canvass - an extra 20 pointer done last night and a 60 pointer tonight
    - Nectar Card - up at £62.99
    - Inbox Pounds - up at £5.89
    - Qmee - another 10p

    P!necone have credited the points and shall be redeeming that soon. I've just counted up the surveys I've done - 10 @ £3 each, so £30 from that. Pretty pleased.

    I'm definitely still going to continue with all these as it's close on £100 across the sites I've earnt in less than 5 months, excluding Nectar points.

    I am going to find out tomorrow if I can pay June's mortgage capital payment at the end of May, will save a bit more interest if I can :D

    And then I need to book the boiler service. :)

    How do you get on to P!necone? I've seen it mentioned here but never figured out how you register.

    I think I just hit lucky when I read about them and applied, as they happened to be recruiting.

    I'll PM you a referral link I have from last month - fingers crossed and let us know if you get accepted. :)

    Slap my wrists. How rude of me :o not to add if anyone wants the referral link I have for P!necone, please say and I'll PM it. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it? If I am, will happily do so.

    They didn't want me :(

    I don't think you're allowed to post it. I'm pretty sure they're a bit strict about that ;)

    Sorry to read that Moomin, I'll keep an eye out for another referral email from them and pass it on if one comes through.

    I spoke too soon yesterday as I had alot to do on the work front in the end today. All good though and hopefully sets a few balls rolling for June, as that is looking a little quieter than I'd like at this stage.

    Managed to get bits of housey stuff done inbetween things - washing out on the line, bins, towels, etc.

    Car buying chap has had to postpone collecting the car until next week which he's frustrated about with it being a long weekend, but will sort when he's coming on Tuesday. Could be Tues eve, could be Thursday. So it's still in my garage, which curtails some of my weekend plans, but then I will have a final drive and clean it on Sunday probably - weather due to be dry!

    Haven't paid myself yet, will wait until next week for car money, as I'll then leave £300 extra in the business account which will balance up the tax - another area that will be straight then.

    Financials:
    - bank account checked
    - freepostcodelottery (both) checked
    - Nectar adpoints - another 3 and up to 65
    - Nectar Canvass - not looked today
    - Nectar card value - up at £63.29
    - Inbox Pounds - up at £6.54
    - Qmee - another 10p
    - P!necone - £3 in Paypal

    DS's laptop has played up again too and it's a Windows 8 OS error, so I need to get a large enough USB or CD to create recovery media for when it happens again. Got it running again now through searching the net for a solution but it's not stable.

    No sweet treats again :D, no money spent, no fuel used and no sunshine here today either!

    Hope everyone has had a good Friday and is looking forward to a long weekend. :)
