Scuba's Saving the Ha'Pennies

scubaangel

Home from a not over successful date, lovely guy, lots to talk about but no connection.

Now on the sofa with a brew and a bag of quavers appreciating my lovely warm house.

Also redeemed on perk on Sunday night, got the paypal transfer in this morning, just about to pull it out to my bank account.

Finally got a day off, managed to have a lovely lie in and wake up when I was ready to.

Done some housework, need to do the washing up again as I only had one clean mug left (currently filled with tea).

I can't remember if I said earlier in the week the £20 sainsbug voucher arrived, looks like I need to do a stocking up shop for things like teabags, loo rolls, and vanish for my work clothes.

Had an email from the agency saying theres a job come in that although I don't have experience in the role I do know the industry quite well (but she didn't say what industry) which is intriguing, so I've let them know I'm away next week but will be checking my emails whilst I'm away.

I've also transferred a couple of versions of my CV on to my tablet with the matching cover letter templates so I can keep job hunting while I'm away.

Got another load of washing in the machine then I can start packing ready for the trip.

Didn't hear anything from the agency while I was away.

But I did have a fabulously lazy time, I did basically nothing except walk from my room to the beach for a swim, read my kindle either on a sunlounger on the beach or sat in the pool bar, then wander back to the room to get ready for an evening in the main bar still with my kindle.

Had a couple of people comment on my being alone on holiday and one particularly idiot individual kept telling me I couldn't possibly be having a good time alone and doing nothing but reading.

I think the only human interaction which would count as a conversation was spending 3 hours sat on the beach in the middle of the night talking to the barman after his shift finished on my last night.

Today has been my first day off since I got home.

So two loads of washing done and strewn around the house to dry.

Will have to do at least one more load tomorrow as I'll need clean work trousers but by then hopefully there'll be space to hang them to dry.

Also completed two merchandising tasks at local supermarkets - look forward to getting paid for those.

Additionally I've reached payout with mytns, so have redeemed for £3 to paypal, and have been invited to take part in a product test which will save me roughly £5 in not having to buy the product next time I run out.
Theres a forest folk survey invite in my inbox, will tackle that once I've finished dinner.

Forest folk survey completed last night and credit on my account today.

Logged in and realised I'd not claimed points from a survey before I went on holiday so have requested £8 to paypal.

Still working through surveys in my inbox, nothing too close to payout though sadly.

Just found £3 of reward codes in my junk mail, so have redeemed those for amazon vouchers.

Had a powercut last night, seems to be a problem in the area as we had a couple at work during the day as well.

Worked through the surveys in my inbox which is now clear, again nothing close to payout so think I might spend the evening seeing if I can get any on instagc to help boost my bonus and earnings before New Year as at the moment am still on the 2% I was given at the start of October.

Got the remains of the Thai green curry I cooked the other day back in the slow cooker with added veggies as the other day I just cooked it as a chicken curry and ate most of the meat but not much of the sauce.

Day off today and I've achieved basically nothing unless it being a NSD counts as I didn't leave the house. I even ignored the person knocking on the front door midafternoon as I'm still in my warm pjs.

I have however met my swagbucks target without doing any surveys - just sbtv and the mobile apps.

Inbox is cleared of surveys again. So am going to once again hit instagc for the evening - last night was unsuccessful as I managed to be screened out of everything I started but the 1 point bonuses are better than nothing.

Juat had an email from the forestyfolks, my £8 has landed in paypal so I've withdrawn that and the £10 which arrived from perk just before I went on holiday.

My pact app should be close to $10 this week so I might just have enough to cash it out meaning so far I'll have made $5 from it as I missed one of my pacts a few weeks ago.

Not a NSD as I needed to fill the car up on my way home from work.

£3 amazon vouchers arrived in my inbox this afternoon so have been added to my account.

Arranged to go to the cinema with a friend and her husband tomorrow, I want to see Spectre and thought it'd be nice to not go alone for a change. So after work I plan to go for a run, come home, shower change and head out again - just hope its not raining too much!

Still plugging away on my swagbucks targets today, taking a post work nap may not have been wise in that respect.

Just had an unusually well paid short survey which has bumped me over the redemption threshold on a survey site so have just requested a £10 sainsbug card - last time I got a redemption from this site it took a little over a week to arrive so not too long to wait.

Home from a trip north, spent one night at my Canadian friends house and as the weather was vile decided to spend the second at my Dad's instead of risking the drive south.

Am home to find that I've had the £3 payment from mysurveys and £5.44 from Prolific Academic for the projects I've done for them over the last few weeks. Transferred £8 in to the bank.

I should also hit the $10 threshold on Pact this time around so looking forward to that arriving, will mean a profit of only $5 as I missed a pact a few weeks ago but I do think it's a good habit to keep up with so will keep going with it for now.
