    Morning :)

    Thank you PWPS for sending me the survey list - I've signed up to a couple using the links you sent.

    Also I managed to get to target for swagbucks so I've withdrawn my first £5!!! Yipeeeee! Not sure how long it'll take to hit paypal tho. Do you have to then transfer it to your bank then pay the CC or can you pay CC directly from paypal does anyone know?

    Additionally I've had a £12.50 win on the lottery so I shall overpay that to CCV today.

    Ge0 cach1ng is going fantastic - our new fave hobby!

    Few more surveys done and 3 items listed on ebay which I hope will make at least £5 profit - small pennies add to big payments when added up at the end of the month (I hope).

    Frugal tea tonight, I forgot to get anything out and as in late this week made most of what we had. DS had HM soup with me, DD had bean and bread with grated cheese (her fave - doesn't often has it) and DH had eggs with toast and HM soup later tonight......cheap and cheerful and better than McD's!

  • Well done on listing the bits on ebay, if you make £5 then thats half way towards your target, I always think anything is better than nothing, especially if it is something not wanted/needed.

    Love the frugal tea, I love it when autumn arrives and we start eating more HM soup, really does save pennies, last winter we ate loads of carrot and coriander soup as i managed to buy loads of packets of coriander from MR T whoopsied to 12p a pack which I froze and I'm not ashamed to admit I dig through the pony carrot sack when we buy new bags before the pony gets them and take out any whole nice looking carrots.

    Keep going your doing fantastic.x.

    Thank you pwps.

    I am really pleased as if swagbucks comes through that's £5 and if I make £5 profit off eBay that's my target me for the month. I've already paid the lottery win to CCV so I guess that would go to target too? That was £12.50 so really I might double my target! :D The eBay items are DS's clothes that don't fit - one's his old winter coat which, I say old, I mean last winter's. It's as new and is gorgeous, I'm sad to see it go and I hope it gets a reasonable price :)

    Checked CCV and they are now offering me 0% for 18 months BT with 3.5% handling fee - alot better offer than they gave me for the balance I've already done but it is what it is.

    So now I have the option of moving CCT over to CCV meaning I could then close that too.
