    I've just had some news.... not absolutely sure its genuine, but I might have won £895-worth of laser eye surgery!!!!!!

    I got an email from customer care at optimax, theres a name on it and everything, and a phone number to ring to get more info, which I'm going to ring now.

    Now, what do I do? Can I count that in my total? I suppose not since I can in no way afford to get it done so can't even put the money for it in the pot.
    Oh well, just had to tell someone anyway :)

    Hiya Gemmzie :D

    Well there is nothing to report for me I've made absolutely nothing in the last week or for that matter this week :eek: My survey totals are rising and I should have a £10 arcadia voucher from pigsback on its way to me so I will swap that for my clothing budget when it arrives. Think I need to get my @r5e into gear or I'll never make bronze... :o

    Hi Gemmzie,hi all.
    I'll pm you with just the total, Gemmzie, but wanted to put this on here, cos I've been really lax about pm-ing. So, this is my week 4 total, i.e. 11 Aug to 17 Aug:

    £64.00 Tesco vouchers.
    £10.00 voucher from my local professional organisation - was able to book 2.5 hours of free CPD, needed for professional registration.
    £ 1.00 found!
    £10.00 put by from weekly money
    £10.00 taxi

    Total: £95! :j

    Confession: I can't tell what it takes my full total to, I've got myself confused with my Amazon stuff, between when I sell it and when it arrives in my bank account. And I swore that wouldn't happen.........:o
    2023: the year I get to buy a car
  • not much more progress for me, did get 50 extra piggy points and 500 consumer pulse points as its my birthday so that gets me a little further towards my next vouchers :)
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!
