Already have £10 in Morrison's vouchers from another company so we'll definitely be eating tonight! I've enough food in but it's the 'bits' that need replenishing (tea bags, bread, milk, oil, oxos etc) plus cat food. As I don't get paid until Thursday I was getting a bit panicky with only 95p left in my purse, 18p in my debit card account and no credit cards now I'm on a Debt management Plan:eek:
Did a YouGov survey on Friday and am now just 10 points (10p) short of a £50 payout :j:j
Well done on 'helping' OH to cut down on takeaways. Better for the waistline and the pocket. A win win then.
Andy's just started his first match so will watch some if it before I go to Morrison's. Trouble is, David Ferrer is playing this afternoon as well but it isn't on a show court so BBC might not televise that one. He's such a brilliant player but because he's so low-key we hardly ever seem to see him:mad::mad:
Hi CBC
Sounds like the voucher came just in time then. Hope you get another You Gov survey soon.
I watched Andy's match. So proud to see him come out on Centre Court as champion :j. I'm sure they'll start showing more of Ferrer's matches as the tournament goes on - especially as he's lined up to play Murray in the quarters.

Afternoon

Firstly, Hugh Jackman is at Wimbledon :happyhear - two of my favourite things in the one place - why am I not there?
Anyway, I have adjusted my targets earnings wise for next month. I'm doing 50 questions a day (because I am more likely to keep that up for the month) and then I'll try and earn £600 from elsewhere (I've already got a couple of MS jobs lined up).
Another £2.50 has been added to the bed fund and I'm waiting for another £5 voucher that I requested yesterday.
I've also won a couple of movie tickets from O2 to see Begin Again on Monday night. First movie we've got tickets for in a while.
Off to the gym tonight

Okay, I know it's only the 24th June, but I have just purchased my first Christmas present!! :santa2:
One of the MS jobs I've got for next week is ordering online from a well known supermarket and collecting from the store. I've just seen that they have the Elsa Frozen doll back in stock (which was like gold dust just 1 month ago), so I've gone ahead and ordered it for my niece for Christmas.
It cost £17 and I get £4 towards my purchase (plus an £8 fee on top).

CBC - Sorry about the tennis. I know how it feels when your favourite gets knocked out

Still managing to keep OH away from the takeaways and restaurants. I've got a couple of MS meals booked in for a week Friday and Sunday. I figure this will still let us enjoy a meal out, but we'll get some or all of the money reimbursed.
Got another one booked for a clothes shop next week too. Not a very high fee, but a £10 reimbursement, so might get myself a nice top or something for free. If there's nothing I'll like, I'll get something and sell it on eBay.

Just redeemed for another £5 Amazon voucher, received 56p in my Paypal and done a Pinecone survey which will mean another £3 in a few days.

Thanks for the tennis commiserations, Emz:T.
Really pleased the whole of the match was shown on BBC and that I got to see it, although OH came in towards the end and kept moaning about having to wait for his meal:mad:. Gutted at the result, kept thinking and hoping that he would turn things round and win by tiring his opponent out. No such luck. Oh well, I'll be supporting Andy now for the rest of the tournament.
You are doing really well with the survey cash at the moment, much better than me. Was screened out of 3 today and am still waiting for my next survey invite from YouGov which will take me to payout.0 -
You Gov are a pain.
I am a 1000 to payout which will take forever.
Sigh.

Hi Lou
I just went on the website and it gave me the option of choosing an automatic on each of the models available, so I guess they are still making them.

Another 28p in my Paypal and grabbed another MS job for a couple of weeks time worth £15.
Quite a few surveys done today, but none paying out yet. Got 66 Nectar points from Adpoints and am just trying to get my 50 questions done, but it's gone really slow. Only 16 to go though.
