Excellent - I too get ridiculously excited over every cash back payout regardless of the amount. Am awaiting £0.63 from My Superm@rket and am checking daily so I don't miss when it pays!0

Every time I get a cash back, or survey payment, or an eBay sale, I feel incredibly pleased about it.
Over a year, it all mounts up.
I sometimes torture myself about all the years I didn't sell on eBay or use vouchers etc, and all the money I could have made if I had tried harder.Early retired - 18th December 2014

Thanks Pushkin - nice to know I'm not alone!
You are quite right Goldie - the small bits and pieces really do add up. I also get the same sense of satisfaction you mention
Don't be too hard on yourself. At least you have realised nowjust think of all those who haven't seen the MFW light!:eek:
Slightly less manic day workwise. On the downhill stretch (in a good way!) to the weekend at least.
No money news today...though I have checked my payslip online in readiness for the big day on Friday :T

Phew glad it's the weekend :T
It's my favourite day of the month - payday! :j I get to feel rich for about...errm a day...:rotfl: £15 OP made.
Met a friend tonight and had a meal and couple of drinks after work. Was really nice to have a natter and 'put the world to rights'. All was good until I arrived home and had 4 (yes 4!) spiders to deal with :eek: Feeling somewhat like I've been invaded and that the one I threw out last night came back with his mates! :cool:

Morning Hbbb :wave:
No the cooker isn't due to be delivered until next Sat. That way I got free deliveryand it's not like I don't have anything to cook on in the meantime so a slight wait is fine
I have had an email to advise that a replacement ornament has been dispatched. Let's hope this one is intact!
Have a great weekend

Morning
The microwave died yesterday. I don't use it all the time but it's definitely handy so will be replacing it this week sometime.
Seems to be all spending at the moment
Quiet day I think. A few house jobs and then Moto GP viewing later on. I'm also watching True Detective at the moment so maybe an episode of that. Oh and Downton Abbey of course

Evening
Today was very warm and muggy. Also dry until about half an hour ago when it hammered it down. Not enjoying the nights getting dark earlier and earlier - won't be long until the clocks change either....
Money news - £50 OP made today.
Waiting for a £10 survey payment to arrive and it's slow which is annoying.
I had to get a new frying pan but I found one in the HoF sale and also used vouchers that I got from surveys - not actual cash
And.... my replacement ornament arrived. Thankfully this one is in tact :T So I have put away until I'm ready to wrap it later on.
Didn't sleep brilliantly last night - few things playing on my mind - so hoping for a better rest tonight

Evening
I got a good nights sleep but still felt tired this morning! Hmph lol
Another mad day at work though on the the plus side at least it makes the time go quick!
£20.17 OP made today...purely cos I wanted a nice round figure on my spreadsheet for the monthly total
For anyone interested currently reading THIS. It's quite quirky but I'm enjoying it
Nothing much else to report

:j Hurray for the weekend! It's been a crazy few days at work and I'm very much looking forward to relaxing and catching my breath a bit.
I had a late night on Thursday too....took clients out for dinner & drinks, which turned into more drinks and a trip to a karaoke bar. I got home at 3.50am Friday ambut everyone had a great time so it was worth the tiredness yesterday
I'm waiting for the new cooker to be delivered today. Just hope it goes smoothly. I always have a slight sense of dread that something will go wrong in these instances. It's raining which is a shame too.
In mortgage news - OP of £190.03 which was made up of regular OP, £10 survey earnings, £5 bank reward and some cashback.0
