Bit mizzy here today, but looking dry for later. Planning a quiet day at home and possibly getting some stuff done.. Need to pop to town but also need to go tomorrow to get car so might do it all at once.
Bank account looking so woeful. Payday next week thankfully for both of us.

Much needed quiet day at home. fleabay item arrived and it wasn't as expected, so I got a part refund from the seller. In true SJ style, I've been listing and up to 20 items, will try and get loads more on this weekend.
Also got stuff on local selling sites as well. Hoping for some sales this weekend!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Yukky morning out there, but supposed to dry up later.
Need to take library books back today and the littlies should get their certificate for finishing the reading challenge. Need to go PO to post fleabay parcels, collect my car, collect school uniform, get meds from Docs, get dog food and take littlies to club later as DD has decided she wants to join as well.
YG survey done this morning and up to £11.25, requested £20 payout from pr0filic and £12 from Pcone, so waiting for those to hit the account. nice £32 earnt there. (why does MSE not like my spelling of earnt?)
Also need to start looking around to energy tariffs, we can change as of 30/8.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Glad to hear it debt free! We've had our annual kids wardrobe clear out, and now got 109 things currently listed with about 30 still in waiting! We've listed all baby's SJ newborn, 0-3 and 3-6 month clothes. Definitely no more kids so no more clothes storage!MFW: Was: £136,000.......Now: £47,736.58......0

Did all the errands today, so productive day. DD enjoyed her first lesson at their club - asked for DD details for DS and I think you only pay per family so the actual weekly cost is pretty awesome and it's so worth it.
Quiet morning at home tomorrow and then off out to an outside theatre for the rest of the day. Hope the weather isn't as bad as forecast!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

You're doing really well on y0ugov, am sure you hit payout just before me and I'm on 675. Its the only survey site I do as you don't get screened out and it's reliable. I do feel like the only mse'r pcone don't want though!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0

have you tried to register CathT? I found a link for Pcone looking for people 10 years younger than me, so I may have adjusted my age to join - but I answer all surveys with my right age now. Don't give up, search for sign upsDFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

had a lovely day yesterday and we made it to the car park just as the heavens opened.
Had McDonalds for tea which wasn't very MSE, but littlies very very rarely have them so they thought it was a lovely treat.
Today is all bits and bobs in the house / garden.
Uniform labelling, fleabay listing, tidying and sorting. Some baking later to start to stockpile school lunch stuff. Roast for dinner I think..
Weather isn't too bad, windy, but dry!
right off to find my school uniform labelling kit. may still be doing this tomorrow given the amount there is!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Sadly as well, as you guys will know from last year, I'm a Christmas freak, so starting to think about that and littlies birthdays. Annuals are 29p in Argus for 2016 so ordered 8 for their birthday party to form part of the party bags. Also ordered a couple for stockings as they don't know which year it is, so a nice bargain there is anyone wants one!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

I lasted less than 3 months and rejoined NT today, done it on monthly DD, so won't miss the £9.. Got £8 cashback.
Did a £1.25 survey on pr0filic, but otherwise all quiet. Annoyingly still sitting at £9.50 on p-base.
Plans for tomorrow cancelled.. frustrating.. so need to be creative. Need to go Argus and collect these annuals. DS is desperate for a hair cut, but trying to hold on till closer to school. He looks wild though bless him!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
