    Not spending much time around these parts at the moment... though MFW ways are not being forgotten:

    OP's been made as follows:
    - £50 YG payment
    - £5.85 cashback
    - £50 regular OP

    I've cashed out another £5 voucher from SG and I'm close to payout on PB.

    Can't believe it's July tomorrow :eek: However, that means only 6 more days at work... and then some time off :T

    I forgot to mention that this week has also seen my 6 year anniversary of buying this house (which is my first - and probably only at this rate!) I can't believe where the time has gone. Still feel proud of myself for getting here :)

    Very nice! :) I'm still a few £s away from payout on YG, seems to take forever.

    Also can't believe it's July...crazy. No holidays planned for us, though we do have a wedding to attend in early August so we'll probably take a day or two off then.

    :j so happy the end of the working week is finally here!! I'm absolutely shattered. Looking forward to a very chilled evening. Treating myself to pizza for tea too :p

    Bit of surprise news this morning......I won a prize in the PB prize draw....wait for it... £1 :rotfl:It gets automatically added to your account so at least it moves me on towards payout again, ready for the next OP ;)

    It's been very erractic weather here today - one minute bright sunshine, then all of a sudden heavy rain showers for around 5-10 minutes, then back to sunshine again :huh:

    Congrats on the prize! I always wonder when I'm screened out if there's any chance of getting a prize.

    Afternoon.... I really must have been tired...as not long woken up :o 15 hours of lovely sleep...feeling much refreshed

    Nothing major planned for today. House jobs and general pottering. Also going to catch up on some surveys later as not really done too much this week.

    Small OP made today of £13.04 which was cashback and interest from accounts... all helps :) Mortgage balance now stands at £77,084.96 and 67.03% LTV :T

    Congrats on the prize! I always wonder when I'm screened out if there's any chance of getting a prize.
    It's the first time I've ever won a prize draw with them. They have increased the prizes each month to 182 and I wondered if that co-incided with me winning.

    Thanks MWC :)

    I've had a very chilled day. Did end up popping out as wanted a couple of bits. Ended up treating msyelf to some new sunglasses. I've wanted some cheapish ones for a while and so feeling happy with my purchase.

    £10 voucher claimed from CP

    New book ordered on my K1ndle - but it was one that had been on my wish list for a while and was free :T
