I can't be sure, but I think I'm actually melting!! Doesn't help that the house is like a sauna. Still, would rather have this than pouring rain or freezing snow

Sorry about that CBC
- I always find when I think I'm sorted that an unexpected expense pops up from somewhere.
Chin up

Thanks for the encouragement beanielou and Emz :T
I know exactly what you mean, Emz but you always seem to take financial setbacks in your stride better than I do even with the added worry of your health problems:A . That's why I'm such a fan of your thread which I read daily even though I don't post much. It gives me a regular kick up the ****
Apparently thunderstorms are on the way but I don't think they'll cool things down much.0 -
Need to seriously sort myself out this month or I'm in danger of not earning much yet again.
Today I have already:- Claimed £3 cash from My Survey.
- Been accepted to a greetings card study where I earn £1 for each card I buy over the next 3 months (need to answer a survey and take a photo of each card).
- Reached my Swagbucks target for yesterday.
- Claimed another £1 voucher from Receet and applied the other £1 voucher to my account.
- Finally get the DVDs and CDs I won packaged up ready to send off to the best website.
- Earn at least £20 on the questions.
- Reach my Swagbucks target for today.
- Try and cancel a trial I signed up for to get points before they start charging me (might not be possible on a Saturday though).
- Play free bingo this evening in the hope of boosting my cash balance.
- Play free JPJ game.
OH and I are going out for a £1 breakfast this morning at Chiquitos thanks to O2 Priority Moments. Can't beat that for a deal.

Making good progress today, but will get more done when OH goes to his mate's in a bit.
To add to my list, I have:- Bundled up and sent off the DVDs and CDs (including some we already had). I got £35.61, which also included a voucher code I found that added 10% to the total

- Got a card for my nephew's birthday and filled in the survey, so will get £1 for that in the end.
- We went to get some bits in Tesco and I found a receipt in there worth £32, so have uploaded that to Receet for some free points.
We had our £1 breakfasts. With 2 glasses of orange juice, it came to £6.90 in the end (£2.45 for a glass of OJ!!).
We missed a parcel whilst we were there, so have got it being redelivered on Tuesday. Not expecting anything, so must be a freebie.

Hi INOD
I haven't had any problems. Sometimes it takes a while for the receipt to process and other times they don't recognise the info on there. They then send an email saying there was a problem and I just take another photo of it.
